The construction of the International Centre for Training Special Forces, located in the Chechen Republic’s town of Gudermes, is carried out at an accelerated pace, many facilities are almost ready for commissioning, head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov said.
“The construction of the International Centre for Training Special Forces is carried out at an accelerated pace. Many facilities are in the completion stage. Works on the runway have been started. The best instructors and high-class specialists will work here. The selection of candidates has already been started,” Kadyrov wrote on his Instagram after visiting the center.
According to him, all Russian power-wielding agencies and dozens of other countries show an interest to the abuilding center. Kadyrov noted that the center has not only military, but also sport value. He reminded that in the spring, Race of Heroes, a command military-sports game, would take place at the site of the new center, whose track with obstacles would be the longest in the world.
The International Centre for Training Special Forces in Gudermes occupies an area of more than 400 hectares. When completed, it will offer all kinds of combat training, as well as paramilitary and technical sports.
For the moment, residential buildings, including high buildings, with ground and underground infrastructures have been built in the tactical town. There the Special Forces will train their skills of industrial climbing, liberation of a house, captured by terrorists, hostage extraction, fighting in urban areas, climbing. The training of the Special Forces will be carried out by about 200 instructors.
Sounds like a nice tool for bonding with muslim (or requiring muslim-savvy security staff) states over common security interests. It’s about time we get some real ground back for partially regained Soviet influence. Also, gives a nice new ring to the weak spin of Chechnia as a tourism region =D
Ahhh … So … what is the moral of this idea?
So, Kadyrov has built himself a new amusement park. Is this the accurate interpretation?
…
Chechens have a distinct historical identity and a distinct language … from Russia.
So, instead of Moscow granting enhanced autonomy to Chechenya, which would de facto equivalate with independence, Moscow is playing along with all sorts of gimmick solutions to keep a distinct people (but with a divergent religion) within its borders: they’re building mosques upon mosques, they are not sending Chechen fighters to Syria unless they are perfectly certain they will not defect to the militants and Daesh … Every now and then, Kadyrov throws a party for himself, invites Jean Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal.
…
What about Dagestan?
You have to understand that Chechnya to Russia is like South Korea to the United States.
Don’t explain Russia to a guy with ukrainian/russian nickname, also the whole N.Caucasus is more like our Scotland.
