PanARMENIAN.Net – The first motorized rifle arctic brigade will
be deployed in 2015, Russian Ground Forces Chief Col Gen Alexander
Postnikov said on Tuesday, February 21, RIA Novosti reported.
Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov said in July 2011 that two
arctic brigades would be established in “Murmansk or Arkhangelsk or
some other place.”
President Dmitry Medvedev has called for “extra measures” to protect
Russian interests and reinforce its borders in the Arctic.
Russia is to deploy a combined-arms force to protect its political
and economic interests in the Arctic by 2020, including military,
border and coastal guard units to guarantee Russia’s military security
in diverse military and political circumstances.
