We were present at the training ground of the 375th Division when the combat crews of the S-125M air defense missile engineering battalion were practicing assembling missile shells on the assembly line. Immediately after receiving the mission, the battalion practiced moving forces from the basic battlefield to the reserve battlefield. The forces quickly returned to their positions to carry out the technical procedures at the assembly sites.

Despite the dark and harsh weather conditions, the operations of the combat crews were not affected, and they carried out their tasks quickly and accurately. The steps such as: removing ammunition from the storage box, connecting components, lifting ammunition onto the transport vehicle; checking the electrical and radio systems; filling compressed air; installing detonators, clearing circuits, and practicing tactical formations and force mobilization were carried out by the soldiers according to strict and unified technical procedures.

These two yards have high training intensity, playing a decisive and key role in the quality of the ammunition after the practice is completed. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure a synchronous equipment system, improve the level and practical operation ability of the troops as well as the ability to coordinate between the numbers in the yard and the yards in the line to ensure quick and technically correct ammunition assembly. Along with that, the unit strengthens physical training, ensuring that the troops have good health and endurance to meet the requirements and tasks".
