Border guard units are poorly equipped and without sufficient digital communications systems, drones, and medical supplies, a top think tank has said.
"These are guys who are caring and committed to fighting the enemy, who stand in the borderlands. And who are ready not only to repel attacks, but also to permanently terrorize the enemy," he wrote.
"But they just don't have enough resources for this. Here we are not talking about training camps, but about the systemic discrepancy between the equipment and armament of the combat operations units and the modern realities of combat operations." "[Kots] noted that border service units formed task forces to participate in the Soviet war in Afghanistan and were equipped with artillery, aviation, and armored vehicles, implying modern FSB border guard units need similar capabilities," the ISW said.
The think tank added that Kots claimed these border guard units only receive anti-tank missiles and mortars from personal connections withunits, and advocated for Russian authorities to provide better equipment—including self-propelled artillery systems and electronic warfare systems—to current border guards, especially those in Bryansk, Kursk, and Belgorod oblasts, which border Ukraine.
"[Kots]' reference to the Soviet border guards' participation in the war in Afghanistan and call for the provision of more complex systems suggest that Russian border guards continue to be concerned about the threat of possible Ukrainian cross-border raids into Russia and Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian territory," the ISW added.should be covering?
