As a part of the Selenga 2017 Russian-Mongolian exercise, which had started in the Zuunbayan range located in the Gobi Desert (Mongolia), Russian tank crews shared an experience of using modern methods of a maneuver combat. Particularly, Mongolian servicemen were taught how to eliminate a simulated illegal group using the ‘fire roundabout’ method.
The principle of the fire carousel tank combat is a circle-wise successive change of military vehicles, which move one after another eliminating a simulated enemy with flank fire. Only that constant maneuvers of that kind will help to win a fight in the Gobi Desert flatland.
In course of the exercise tankmen successively eliminated joint and separate targets using the fire carousel method. The cooperation was performed using previously arranged signs.
For the first time the Selenga 2017 joint exercise is taking place in harsh climate of the Gobi Desert. On the part of Russia a combined tactical group of the Eastern MD, located in the Republic of Buryatia, is taking part in the exercise. Servicemen are practicing joint actions in a fight with simulated illegal groups. More than 1,000 troops and 200 pieces of military hardware are involved in the exercise.
