How to get to Patriot Park?

If you decide to go to Army 2016 in a personal car, you must purchase a car pass in advance to enter one of two paid parking lots located at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center and the Alabino training ground. You won’t be able to purchase a car pass on site; there are no intercepting parking lots.

By public transport:

Train from Belorussky railway station to Golitsyno or Kubinka-1 stations. Free bus No. 7 will run from Golitsyno station to Patriot Park, and free bus No. 8 from Kubinka-1 station. Bus schedule: from 09:00 before 19:00 . The movement interval is 3-5 minutes.

During the forum, the number of electric trains will be increased. In the Belarusian direction, four additional electric trains are assigned on September 9, and 22 electric trains are assigned on September 10 and 11.

Another option is to take the train from the Kievsky railway station to the Selyatino station, and then take the free bus No. 9 or 9A to the parking lot of the Alabino landfill. From the Alabino training ground to the land and water demonstration clusters and the Patriot exhibition center - by free bus No. 5.

In the Kiev direction, on September 9, additional stops are scheduled at the Selyatino stopping point for two electric trains, and four additional electric trains will also transport passengers on the Moscow-Selyatino-Moscow section. On September 10-11, additional stops are assigned at the Selyatino stopping point for two electric trains. 20 electric trains will be added on the Moscow-Selyatino-Moscow section.

Hello friends! This week, in the town of Alabino near Moscow, an international exhibition of military equipment with the simple name “Army-2015” (2016, 2017, 2018, etc.) was held. The exhibition is interesting primarily because there you can watch demonstration training battles using real shells, and not just tanks in the parking lot. Armored vehicles and helicopters fired at positions conditional enemy and simulated avoiding missiles.

In 2018, the exhibition of military equipment "Army-2018" will be held from August 21 to 26 in the city of Kubinka, Moscow Region.

Yesterday my friends and I attended this event. The Army 2015 exhibition is being held for the first time this year, apparently to demonstrate Western countries that the Russian army is now getting into good shape. Another goal of the event, it seemed to me, was to instill patriotism in the younger generation, as well as change the established negative image of the army.

Tank ballet

The so-called “tank ballet” did not impress me. Maybe we didn't have the best comfortable spot in the stands, or maybe I lack imagination, but I didn’t notice any resemblance to dancing. Four T-72 tanks (or T-80, I don’t know exactly who knows, write in the comments) slowly and somehow awkwardly spin on their heels to ballet music and cheerful, sparkling comments from the presenters. Of course, the skill of the tankers is top level, but a spectacle for an amateur or a World of tanks fan. Watch a short video:

Demonstration of military equipment

Passing along the stands different kinds modern army equipment. At the head of the column are our Russian Hammers - Tigers, new Armata tanks, howitzers, armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles, as well as air defense systems. Even the Iskanders were shown to the public.

Fight with a mock enemy

Now comes the fun part! The enemy's positions were marked at the training ground, and the army was given the task of destroying him. The first to approach the target are the helicopters - a pair of Mi-28 and Ka-52.

Here's another video for your attention, the recording didn't turn out very well, but you can appreciate the atmosphere of what was happening.

The system was also deployed on the field volley fire A tornado, but it did not participate in hostilities, Iskander raised his plump missiles, and in the distance an S-300 launcher was seen, for some reason only without a radar.

CEC "Patriot"

Having watched the performance and not waiting for the promised air show, we went to another part of the exhibition - to the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. The territory of Army 2015 is divided into several clusters, with free buses running between them. We got to the Patriot exhibition on a crowded bus No. 3.

We rode through the swamps in such an ancient Zil-157 as a child at the dacha

The Patriot Exhibition Center occupies quite a large territory, equipped with covered pavilions and parking for equipment. You must register upon entry. We did this in advance on the Internet through the official website. To the delight of children, you can climb on almost all the equipment, sit in the cockpit, and press buttons. There are a lot of people, it’s hard to catch a moment to take a photo.

What I didn't like

The Army 2015 exhibition is being held here for the first time, so we decided to attribute the problems with bus transportation to the inexperience of the organizers. As I already said, you can only travel between exhibition grounds by special buses; cars are all left in the parking lot. There are a lot of people, but for some reason the buses run very rarely. And so, a crowd of several hundred people accumulates, and there is no bus to the parking lot or to another site for 10-15 minutes. As soon as the bus approaches, people go wild, start pushing each other and crowding into the cabin. At such events, buses are usually released in a conveyor belt, but here one at a time, and even at 10-minute intervals.

It’s 6 pm, the forum is closed, everyone is asked to leave the territory. About 1,000 people gather at the stop, and buses arrive one at a time, also at 10-minute intervals. As a result, people are crushing and cramming hundreds of people into one bus, somehow, in a compressed state, we get to the parking lot, look, and at the final stop there are 5 empty buses. They just stand there, the drivers relax, smoke, and wipe the glass with a rag. What do the organizers think?

It is also logically unclear which bus goes where, either to the parking lot or to another exhibition. Was it really that difficult to make some signs at the bus stop or on the buses themselves? We also didn’t like that all the performances took place at the same time. There are tanks on the land cluster, on water boats, and an air show in Kubinka. It is physically impossible to see everything at once in one day. If the Army 2015 exhibition becomes an annual event, then I hope that by next year the organizers will take their shortcomings into account. Well, at least admission was free, unlike MAX.

MOSCOW, September 5 – RIA Novosti. The Second International Military-Technical Forum (IMTF) "Army-2016", which will be held in the Military-Patriotic Park of Culture and Recreation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation "Patriot" near Moscow and the military districts of the Russian Armed Forces from September 6 to 11, will gather at the largest exhibition site in the country over 1 thousand Russian enterprises and organizations, as well as more than 80 foreign delegations.

The largest platform

IMF "Army-2016" is Russia's largest platform for displaying modern weapons, military and special equipment, said Russian Defense Minister General of the Army Sergei Shoigu in an address to the forum participants and guests.

“The park will house exhibition pavilions and open exhibitions with a total area of ​​about 140 thousand square meters, and conditions will be created to demonstrate the running, flight and firing capabilities of weapons and military equipment,” Shoigu said.

In his opinion, Army 2016 will serve to consolidate the efforts of science and industry, the production and export of domestic high-tech military products, as well as strengthen international partnerships.

“Over a thousand Russian enterprises and organizations, more than 80 foreign delegations will take part in it (the forum). Our colleagues in the CSTO - Belarus, Kazakhstan and Armenia - will present their national expositions at the exhibition grounds,” the Minister of Defense said during a conference call at the Russian military department.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the current forum will be larger than last year. For example, the number of registration areas for participants and visitors of Army 2016 has been quadrupled, and the organizers have almost doubled the number of volunteers.

“More than 500 units of military and special equipment in service with the Russian Armed Forces will be involved in the dynamic display program and in static exhibition,” the Russian military department said.

In addition, the forum will feature exhibitions of military retro equipment from the Great Patriotic War. The Ministry of Defense clarified that an information stand will be located next to each exhibit; most vehicles will have full-time crews on duty who will tell visitors about the combat capabilities and operating features of the equipment.

The forum organizers took into account the consistently high interest of visitors to the spectacular displays of equipment at the Alabino training ground and the Kubinka airfield and therefore significantly diversified the dynamic display programs, and also increased the demonstration area of ​​the training ground.

“More than 1 thousand enterprises and organizations will take part in the forum. About 11 thousand exhibits will be demonstrated. For comparison: 828 enterprises and organizations took part in the Army-2015 forum, which presented about 7 thousand exhibits,” said the head of the main scientific department -research activities and technological support advanced technologies(GUNID) Russian Ministry of Defense Alexander Mironov at a meeting with foreign military attaches accredited in Moscow.

According to him, within the framework of the forum all the necessary conditions will be created to demonstrate the capabilities of products not only Russian production, but also foreign countries. At the same time, a “Business Contacts Exchange” zone is provided for conducting negotiations between specialists from leading industrial enterprises.

Visitors to the international military-technical forum "Army-2016" will be presented for the first time with an intercontinental transport and launch container ballistic missile RS-18 "Stiletto".

“The peculiarity of the Chelomeev “weaving,” as the RS-18 missile is called, is that it is located in a highly protected silo in a fueled state in a transport and launch container, which provides the necessary temperature regime. Once refueled, missiles do not require servicing with refueling equipment until they are removed from combat duty,” explained the Russian Ministry of Defense.

According to the military department, the exposition of the Missile Forces strategic purpose(Strategic Missile Forces) will include elements of the Strategic Missile Forces grouping, both stationary and mobile.

Along with an autonomous mobile ground launcher missile complex(PGRK) "Topol", visitors will be able to get a complete picture of the PGRK launch battery, including the combat control vehicle.

“We will demonstrate to the audience the flight of aviation groups on modern airplanes and helicopters. We will show an air show with the participation of aerobatics teams “Berkuts”, “Swifts”, “Russian Knights”, “Falcons of Russia,” said Colonel-General Viktor Bondarev, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Aerobatic Forces .

The Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces also said that more than 30 modern and promising models of weapons, military and special equipment of the Aerospace Forces will be presented at the forum.
