b have been conducting cobalt a exercises annually since 2019 , operation mercenary. it is known that people from the isis terrorist organization banned in the russian federation are trying to move from syria to the territory of the post-soviet states. russian problems should remain in the center of our constant attention and analysis in this direction, it is necessary to implement the entire complex of diplomatic and military-technical measures, to ensure security, terrorists use the threat of torture, and murder the same methods as bandits. it was precisely to combat organized crime in the nineties that a special rapid response squad was created in russia in 1993. it was called lynx for 30 years of its existence , and participated in all high-profile anti- terrorist events, where operational information appeared about the threat

of some kind of terrorist or extremist orientation. we. uh, the employees of the lynx unit urgently flew there, as before, they perform tasks of the highest level of complexity, therefore, the requirements corresponding to the 12 masters of sports in the unit are mainly shooting and strength. so far, there have been no complex missions in single combat through the csto, therefore, possible threats are worked out in exercises, but almost everything is real there, each country on whose territory this exercise is conducted. she roughly knows the level of the terrorist threat. that is, which side. eh, it could happen. what forces? by what means, as a rule, terrorist groups are fueled with the help of drug trafficking. this is another serious challenge that the countries of the central asian region have to deal with. research at dkb. the volume of seized

drugs and the number of illegal operations are growing, this is evidenced by the statistics of the operation , the channel of the csto forces, it is carried out annually. muzafar mirzoev is currently arranging a test for one of his service dogs, the russian spaniel feller must find imitators of three different drugs. start in the center of the dog service of the drug control agency under the president of the republic of tajikistan serves dogs of different breeds. it's not just a man's friends. these are true comrades and junior companions. an experienced cynologist always knows what to expect from his dog, then

it will be difficult for him to work with a dog, because how she works, where she, as always, leads to sneezing somewhere, somewhere tears go somewhere , cowardice appears somewhere. if he does not know all this, then it will be hard for him to work as a neighbor of tajikistan on the map, afghanistan is the world leader, if i may, so to speak, in the production of heroin. you won't occupied the world's leading position in the production of guardianship. it is the main ingredient for heroin production. and among the global suppliers of heroin, well, 8% - this is in 2019 in afghanistan a sad record of a decade was registered in the country, more than six and a half thousand tons of opium were produced. this is the united nations office on drugs and crime, a powerful drug flow goes to russia and europe from afghanistan, including through tajikistan, along secret mountain paths, which

the special services do not always have time to block in these conditions, dogs are indispensable helpers. they are able not only to detect drugs, but also to detain the violator kinolog and his dog. one team the instructor in this deuce is the main one, but the paradox is better when, at the first meeting, it is not a person who chooses a pet for himself. and vice versa, if the owner's dog chooses, they make a team, because they look at the beauty of the dog, and the dogs look at our character. our warmth on our aura on our tonality. then there will be a place for friendship between them, everything is fine. cynologists of tajikistan annually go to exercises under the flag of the csto. in 2021, the active phase of the maneuvers took place in september in the mountains of armenia at the marshal training ground

bagramyan of the national ministry of defense , along with tajik specialists , russian special forces also trained. during the dkb are very important so that i can understand in the event of the transfer of our unit. there in other countries, how will we work? what weapons will we work with? what terrain will it be? anton is one of the most experienced fighters of the special forces of the ministry of internal affairs of russia thunder strike forces of the drug police, his main specialties are a machine gunner and explosives. each employee of our company tries to learn how to blow up equipment climbing training. that is, we surrender all this, we learn all this in our youth. anton studied to be a painter and worked as a restorer now in brand 3 the art of decorating on wood his hobby is when coordinates are distracted

by it. that is, i think they think that there what colors will be inserted. so what will it look like? what will i cover it with, to whom i will give it, maybe, for whom am i doing this? i have a dream painting that he created. well, this is a large icon of christ in the thunder unit anton is one of the instructors in hand-to-hand combat, but the main specialist in this matter his boss roman roman has many years of combat experience, he likes the risk, but his relatives about his service. he almost does not tell saves. they know i'm going to work. they know where i work. yes, as if already used to, probably, but the most difficult thing, when you leave on a business trip, then then we'll say goodbye, tears and so on. true, the detachment is lucky in terms of the incident. these

were minor injuries, yes, but we have been alive for the last 10 years. nobody died in 10 no one is alive and well for years, thank god the commandos admit they like business trips along the lines of the csto, as a rule, this is a teaching, where can you see familiar faces and meet comrades-in-arms? the fundamental decision to create a collective rapid deployment force in the central asian region was made in may 2001 in yerevan

. and i don't think they had a major impact on the overall general environment. in the event that such large-scale events are any negative before the creation of a truly combat-ready corps. several years passed, and a significant number of formal issues had to be discussed and resolved. on june 14, 2009, moscow, at an extraordinary session of the collective security council of the csto, the head of its member states sign the most important agreements on the creation of a collective rapid reaction force. they must repel military aggression, fight terrorism, international crime and drug trafficking, as well as deal with the consequences of emergencies. this is a new milestone in the development of the csto and its power bloc. the collective rapid reaction forces consist of formations and units of constant combat readiness. in addition,

the special forces of the internal affairs bodies, the internal troops of the special services and the bodies for the prevention and elimination of the consequences of emergency situations are at the disposal of the crf. all of them at any time should be ready to be transferred to any point in the csto area of ​​responsibility, their total number about 20,000 selected bayonets. the council of ministers of defense of the udkb is now discussing the most important issues in the line of collective forces in this hall. he has his own story. it was created when the warsaw pact treaty organization was created. if you look at the panel, which is in the central part of the hall, then here, during the reconstruction, the emblem of the warsaw pact was preserved and the date is 1955, colonel general. anatoly sidorov went through afghanistan and chechnya. today he

holds the position of chief of the joint staff at the dkb. this body is responsible for preparation of proposals on the force component of the organization, he coordinates the actions of the bodies of the utkb on issues of military cooperation. it includes representatives of the defense departments. all six member states of the collective security treaty organization, the formation, deployment , use of groups, troops, which are available in the organization. this is one of the main functions, the second function is also no less important. this, of course, is a comprehensive training of those formations that are part of the troops of the collective force. the first doctrine of of the collective rapid reaction forces of the csto took place in october 2009 at the motybulak training ground in kazakhstan, they were the largest joint maneuvers at that time since the collapse of the soviet union in 2021, a total

of seven joint exercises were organized in different countries, for example, maneuvers under the code name the indestructible brotherhood took place in kazan and the highlands of kyrgyzstan that these measures will serve to increase the combat readiness and level of coordination of the military structures of our states and, in general , the peacekeeping potential of the csto. we are trying not to miss the region's collective security, so that it does not happen in one region every year, and in another region there is not for 10 years. we are trying to assess the military-political situation that we are now and that may develop in that region. in the exercises, informal contacts are very important. soldiers from different armies learn to feel like one team. we all speak the same

language. i'll tell you that, well, a very big achievement for at least facilitating issues of command and control of the troops. the peacekeeping company 103 and the airborne brigade of the republic of belarus has been taking part in the exercises for 10 years now, its commander. igor gil begins regular classes with his subordinates. today, the plan is to work out a set of exercises for a successful landing from the air and consolidating skills with the help of simulators. the peacekeeping company, like the entire airborne brigade, is part of the collective forces of the csto, the best are recruited here fighters who serve under the contract. i personally conduct interviews with personnel who wish to serve in the peacekeeping company,

and then i make a decision. is it worth it to remove it in case or not worth the real army elite, each fighter must successfully overcome a multi-stage set of tests with rather strict standards. these stages include selection. uh, test. that is, uh. in terms of subjects, it was also training for a parachute jump, and mars was throwing and shooting from all types of weapons, but classes in combat physical and tactical training is only part of the usual daily routine of the belarusian paratroopers, because they are peacekeepers, a special category of the military, all military personnel take courses, rostov and activities for about 3 months of the military academy, psychology, tactics of peacekeeping units, international humanitarian law, foreign language and military topography in january, a separate

peacekeeping company, received her first combat mission, she had to urgently move to kazakhstan as part of the csto collective peacekeeping forces to assist in restoration of constitutional order. in january, we quickly gathered on a russian il-76, we flew there and guarded the airfield, the events in kazakhstan became a serious test for all components of the utkb system from diplomatic to power, and a sudden test. we must always tune in to some of the most difficult scenarios, the most difficult scenarios, but we definitely cannot relax, and we must be prepared for the fact that something out of a number can happen at any moment. he's coming out. what will it take, maybe even some extraordinary e, responses or extraordinary reaction. at the beginning of january 2022,

destructive forces took advantage of the dissatisfaction of the population of kazakhstan with the increase in prices for liquefied gas, including from the outside. the peaceful protest turned into riots. pogroms began and attacks on a government building hit a police unit in almaty and other cities, even army units became targets of attacks by militants. a weapon was needed. militants seize the local airport akimat department of internal affairs committee building national security, dozens of civilians are killed on the face of a clear attempt at an armed coup threatening the stability of a large country with a population of many millions in accordance with the decision of the security council of kazakhstan is based on a

comprehensive analysis of law enforcement and special services. the situation was qualified as a threat of terrorism and aggression. the situation in kazakhstan developed very rapidly and aggressiveness increased very rapidly. the country had the risk of sinking into such an abyss of lawlessness there and, well, the internal bloody confrontation , the president of the country, kassym-jomart takaev , makes an appeal on national television, huge damage is being done, inside economic social and political stability, it seems the situation is about to get out of control, the clock is ticking. such a president appeals to the heads of member states, udkb for her help. based on the main provisions of the csto statutory documents, kazakhstan

turned to the heads of state of the participants with a request to introduce a joint peacekeeping the contingent to assist in establishing constitutional order, the board is ready for work on the spot. how the reception received me. here is a complex procedure for the peacekeeping forces, requiring numerous approvals. that is why some observers had serious doubts about success. we had a telephone conversation with the president of the russian federation, vladimir vladimirovich putin . uh, and, but we talked and discussed and uh, you know what wcb. uh, decisions are made by consensus when i stated that here, in the end , the process was already launched, uh, on duty. the end of the january events is well known, with

riots and pogroms , the peacekeeping continent at the dkb managed to cope in less than a week. arriving in kazakhstan, he did not fire a single shot from the very beginning, an agreement was reached that this contingent would perform security functions, that is, the protection of strategic facilities. on january 13, 2022, the end of the peacekeeping operation on the csd in kazakhstan was announced, and left the country, its last representative, the commander of the collective peacekeeping forces, colonel-general andrey serdyukov, how everyone, without exception, of a strange accident , reacted to this appeal. and the speed with which the deployment was carried out is the holy efficiency that was shown in assisting in the protection of government buildings of critical infrastructure. of course they called. in the world, it seems to me, heightened interest. and uh, recognition even. if someone is

now all our western colleagues, but are trying hide it. in the csto itself. the results of the operation were summed up literally a day after its completion by all these waters. in general, conducting various training exercises with a contingent. with a peacekeeping contingent with a contingent that is part of the tkb, we were counting on precisely this, namely, speed , accuracy, and this is speed. in general, it gave its effect. the use of peacekeeping forces at the request of the kazakh leadership was the first such operation during the existence of the csto, its conduct made it possible to identify the strengths of the practical cooperation between our military structures and special services and at the same time showed what further work remains to be done. october

2016, yerevan, at a session of the csto collective security council, the head of its member states adopt another fateful document, the collective security strategy until 2025, and also decide to create a csto crisis response center. through it there is an interaction. during exercises and crisis situations, proposals are developed for the statutory bodies of the organization, monitoring is underway situation in the zone of responsibility of the csto and in the adjacent territories. collective security is not only military operations and negotiations between diplomats. this is a whole range of measures. when the decision was made to organize, literally immediately another very important institution, organizational councils, were created, which were purposefully engaged in , uh, the fight against drug trafficking. kov
