According to Moscow media reports, Operational and Strategic Exercises Center-2011, conducted by the Russian army, showed that the army was preparing for bloody suppression of food riots.
The experts found a lot of inconsistencies in the "exercises". In particular, it remains unclear why the military demonstrated mainly the ability to perform police duties, and no answer was found to the question why the military exercises were called strategic, but were devoted to the elaboration of tactics.
The exercises were conducted in Putin's Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and on the Caspian Sea. The final stage of the maneuvers was held in Chebarkul, Chelyabinsk region, and was watched Putin's poodle Medvedev.
The "Russian supreme commander" Medvedev saw "a special operation to free hostages", apparently, imprisoned KGB officers, cops and gang members of the Putin's ruling United Russia party.
There was nothing strategic in the special operation of capturing a village from "bandits", i.e. rebellious people, by a tank brigade, special forces and interior troops.
Participants of a popular uprising were "disarmed" and "neutralized" with tanks, infantry and drones. "Probably, military leadership envisages such a warfare in the future", noted the media.
According to Lieutenant General Yuri Netkachev, a scenario, under which the troops acted, brings sad thoughts. Indeed, based on the alleged progress of events, we can conclude that Russian leadership envisages uprising in many Russian communities, he says.
Colonel General Vladimir Popov, in turn, expressed surprise that army and police forces are engaged in such exercises, when there is still no Putin's "stability" in the North Caucasus.
Military experts do not understand why the General Staff focuses on teaching the troops to conduct combat operations in populated areas. However, everything gets clear, if we assume that popular uprisings start in populated centers throughout Russia. In this scenario, such military exercises by the Russian Army get some sense, the media concludes.
