This report is dedicated not only to the fact of discovery of an electronic warfare system Rtut-BM, but also to the selfie-loving Russian servicemen, who exposed that piece of special equipment in addition to the fact of their illegal \u2018Ukrainian mission\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The identified persons are servicemen of the 175th Signals and Control Brigade of the Southern Military District (military unit 01957) based in the town of Aksay, Rostov Oblast.

Over more than two years of the community\u2019s volunteers\u2019 activities, they have detected a number of different systems, including the latest types, which are in service exclusively with the Russian Army. This report is dedicated not only to the fact of discovery of an electronic warfare system Rtut-BM, but also to the selfie-loving Russian servicemen, who exposed that piece of special equipment in addition to the fact of their illegal \u2018Ukrainian mission\u2019.\r\n\r\nThe identified persons are servicemen of the 175th Signals and Control Brigade of the Southern Military District (military unit 01957) based in the town of Aksay, Rostov Oblast. The base includes a control and communications unit, as well as several so-called camp-divisions.\r\n\r\nThe 175th Brigade is tasked with ensuring communications between the senior command and the headquarters of the Southern Military District, and the functioning of various control systems, both stationary and mobile. The unit has the latest specialized satcom equipment. The personnel are actively involved in the adoption of newest equipment and combat training, including taking part in large-scale training exercises Caucasus-2016.\r\n\r\nNow, let us introduce the subjects:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><u><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/URQEC\"><strong>Dmitriy Kartashov<\/strong><\/a><\/u>, date of birth May 20, 1993 - Russian contract serviceman from the 175th Brigade.\u00a0Noticed in Ukraine.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2016-09-15_214941.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2016-09-15_215338.jpg\" width=\"275\" height=\"175\" \/><img class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2016-09-15_215116.jpg\" width=\"276\" height=\"175\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/askaj2.jpg\" \/>\r\n\r\nIn the\u00a0<strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/2kI0c\">photo<\/a><\/u><\/strong> a football goal can be seen in the distance in the field located across the road from military unit 01957.
