A unit from this brigade was previously observed in September. Troops were apparently rotated in October. At this time, a combined unit of T-72 tank crews (presumably, a company), artillery equipped with \u00a02S3 \u201cAkatsiya\u201d (a battery), and motorised infantry (a company) belonging to the 7th<\/sup> Brigade is present in Kamensk district of Rostov region. Some of the personnel are contract soldiers that were given a refresher course for their specialties in the 473th district training centre in Elansk (Sverdlovsk region).<\/p>\n

Many have noted that my recent articles largely refer to units from the northern regions of Russia. The reason is clear: the winter is coming. Apparently, Russian military command has decided to replace the southerners with Siberians and Northerners, who are better adapted and equipped for winter conditions. Here is a list of military units from the northern regions of the Russian Federation deployed towards the Ukrainian border:<\/p>\n

\u2013 61st Marine Brigade of the Northern Fleet from Murmansk region.
\n\u2013 74th Motorized Brigade of the Central Military District from Kemerov region.<\/p>\n

Units recorded earlier:
\n\u2013 138th<\/sup> \u00a0Motorized Brigade of\u00a0 the Western Military District from Leningrad region;
\n\u2013 385th<\/sup> Artillery Brigade of \u00a0the Central Military District from Orenburg region;
\n\u2013 35th<\/sup> \u00a0Motorized Brigade of\u00a0 the Central Military District from Altai Krai;
\n\u2013 32nd\u00a0 Motorized Brigade of\u00a0 the Central Military District\u00a0 from Novosibirsk region;
\n\u2013 37th (presumably) Motorized Brigade of\u00a0 the Central Military District from Buryat Republic;
