On Thursday the authorities of the unrecognized Transnistrian Moldovan Republic carried out staff-command exercises. Transnistrian President Igor Smirnov personally, Chairman of the Supreme Soviet Anatoly Kaminsky, Ministry of Defense Stanislav and villages, heads of the ministries and other institutions participated in these exercise. The exercises were conducted in a closed regime.
"The objective of the planned exercises was to train the execution of tasks on organizing the logistic and normative provision of Transnistria's capacity in emergency situations. The planned tasks were fulfilled in their full volume", Vice-Minister of Defense Vladimir Atamaniuc said.
He designated the coincidence of the time of the exercises with the CIS Summit in Chisinau as occasional and does not associate them with Moldova's political course concerning the PMR, which course, by the way, becomes more and more destructive,
"Our task is to provide the appropriate level of the state's defense capacity, in order not to allow a military aggression against Transnistria and in case of an aggression to defend Transnistria surely. Transnistria was always reinforcing its defense capacity irrespective of statements on the internal political situation in Moldova", the Vice-Minister said.
In Smirnov's words, who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Transnistrian Armed Forces, the defense issue remains always actual, in particular in the light of the last statements by new politicians, who came to power in Chisinau.
After the exercises their participants visited Military Institute of the Ministry of Defense, which trains motor shooters, artillerists, deputy commanders for educational work.
For the last time the military exercises were carried out in the middle of September. They took place in the vicinity of the military aerodrome of the Novosavitskaya railway station with the participation of regular units and reserve militaries. In the course of an imitated combat with the enemy, who attacked Transnistria, heavy artillery, aviation armored cars, and cannons were used.
