According to the \u2018military exercises\u2019 results, Gerasimov, the chief of the Russian General Staff, and Sergey Shoygu, the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, have reported to Putin about the combat readiness check-up of the Russian troops of\u00a0the Southern Military District.\r\n\r\nAbout 8000 soldiers, up to 900 units of military equipment, around 50 combat ships, 200 planes and helicopters participated in the unplanned\u00a0inspection of the Southern Military District's\u00a0combat readiness. All troops and resources of the Southern Military District (including the ones from the occupied Crimea)\u00a0which did not participate in the direct outputs\u00a0were placed in operational readiness as well. The goal of the \u2018military exercises\u2019 was to test the skills needed to respond to danger for the\u00a0Crimean peninsula.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Capture-1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-19905\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-19905 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Capture-1.jpg\" alt=\"Capture\" width=\"854\" height=\"463\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThe second assumption is about\u00a0the possible transfer of these anti-aircraft missiles to Syria where Russia recently deployed long-range anti-aircraft missile systems. But\u00a0this option is unlikely because there is no sense in\u00a0transferring these missiles from Novorossiysk or other seaport to Sevastopol and then reload them\u00a0for the further dispatch to Syria.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<em>Investigation conducted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NikolayMahno\">Nikolay Mahno<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100010235495201&amp;fref=ufi\">Mikhail Kuznetsov<\/a><\/em>\r\n<em>(CC BY) <a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/19782-sevastopol-skoplenie-raket-s-300\/\">Original article<\/a> translated by Bogdan Belka, edited by Stepan Grishin.\r\n<\/em>\r\n\r\n<strong><em>Please share this publication in the social networks and burns occupants together with InformNapalm<\/em><\/strong>","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/97"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7692"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7692\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7701,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7692\/revisions\/7701"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
