Report to the project:

Any country needs a strong and combat-ready army to protect its own borders and sovereignty, so that all citizens live in peace and tranquility.

Our army is one of the largest in the world, with more than 900 thousand people serving in it and about 2.5 million more people in reserve.

Russian Armed Forces

The Russian Army is divided into three main types of troops: ground forces, navy and military space forces.

• Russian ground forces are designed to operate on land.

They are capable of protecting our borders, repelling enemy attacks, and conducting defensive and offensive operations in any region. The main branches of the ground forces are infantry, artillery, and tank forces.

• The Russian Navy ensures our security at sea.

It includes various ships and submarines. Our military personnel serve in the Baltic, Black Seas, Arctic and Pacific oceans. They guard the country's maritime borders.

• The Russian military space forces protect the sky above our heads.

They include both airplanes and other aviation, as well as spacecraft. They protect the peace of our Motherland in the air and are capable of repelling any attack involving missiles and aircraft.

Armed Forces Command

At the head of our country's army is the president. He is the supreme commander. Currently it is Vladimir Putin.

The Minister of Defense directly supervises all branches of the military. Now this is Sergei Shoigu.

Today our army is one of the most highly equipped and powerful in the world. She is capable of solving any tasks that the command puts before her.

But her main task is to protect us, ordinary citizens. Give us the opportunity to live peacefully and not fear for our lives.

Holidays

The Russian army has long traditions. Although it was formed directly as a Russian one on May 7, 1992.

We are proud of its glorious history and honor the memory of all the heroes who defended our country at different times.

The main holiday of the Russian Army is Defender of the Fatherland Day, which is celebrated annually on February 23.

Also important holidays of the Armed Forces are:

• May 7 is the day of the creation of the Armed Forces.
• April 12 - Aviation and Cosmonautics Day
• May 28 - Border Guard Day
• August 2 - Airborne Forces Day
• November 15 is All-Russian Conscript Day

Conclusion:

Our army is the stronghold and guarantor of the security of our country. She protects us, and we are proud of our protectors. Knowing that our soldiers are always on duty at the borders of the Motherland, we can study and work calmly.

Presentation “Our army is the strongest”

OUR ARMY
IS THE STRONGEST

Our country Russia occupies a very large territory, has land, air and sea borders.

Flag of Russia

Therefore, our army has different types of troops that guard these borders. Border guards, missile troops, infantrymen, tank crews guard land borders.

Border guards.

Rocketeers.

Infantrymen.

Border guards walk around the territory entrusted to them several times a day and, if necessary, engage in combat with border violators.

Infantry soldiers do physical training and exercise every day. To be always ready to repel the enemy, every soldier needs to become strong, courageous, and resilient.

But the most formidable are those that are hidden on land, deep underground. Near them are the military rocket men on combat watch. Missiles launched from the ground can travel a thousand kilometers in a matter of minutes to hit the target accurately. There are also vehicles with rocket launchers, they are also called anti-aircraft guns.

Physical education minute: “We are military”

We will all become soldiers,
Walking in place.
Big, hefty.
Stretch your arms up, lower them through
We will serve in the Army,
sides.
Let's love our homeland.
The movements are repeated.
Protect your garden and house,
Lean forward, look through binoculars.
We will defend the world!
They walk in place.

Tankers serve in tanks that can overcome small rivers and steep climbs.

The Airborne Forces are included in a special group. Those who serve in these troops are physically strong and athletic; They undergo special training and master the rules of close combat. Paratroopers must be resilient, dexterous, and strong.

Who guards our air borders?

Military aircraft are small aircraft flown by one or two pilots. Such machines are called fighters, reconnaissance aircraft, bombers. Airplanes conduct reconnaissance over enemy territory, attack an aircraft that has violated state borders, or destroy enemy ground and sea forces from the air.

Those who serve in the Air Force must have excellent health, courage, determination, and the ability to instantly assess the situation and make a decision.

Who protects our maritime borders? .

Military personnel who serve in the navy are called sailors. Patrol ships ensure that ships of foreign countries do not cross the maritime borders of our state. Military vessels include an aircraft carrier, which has a very wide deck. On the deck there are military planes and helicopters awaiting the order to take off.

Russia has a submarine fleet - nuclear submarines. They hit enemy ships with large torpedo shells. Most of the time the submarine is underwater. The submarine's task is to quietly approach an enemy warship and destroy it.

Military service is both dangerous and difficult. Military personnel often risk life and limb to protect peace and tranquility on earth. They love their homeland, their people, have great knowledge, health, strength, and readiness to carry out any order..

— What does the air force protect?

—What do the navies protect?

— What do the ground forces protect?

—Who spends most of the time underwater?

February 23 is Defender of the Fatherland Day. On this day we feel all those who defended their Motherland in difficult years, who today stand guard over the world. Your relatives served in the army. And our boys, when they become adults, will go to serve.

“SPACE EQUIPMENT of the Russian Aerospace Forces” Popov Dmitry Aleksandrovich, 17 years old GBPOU VO “Rossoshansky College of Agricultural and Construction Transport”

Space Forces Space Forces are a branch of the military within the Russian Aerospace Forces (Russian Aerospace Forces). The Space Forces are designed to ensure Russia's security in the space sector. It existed as a separate branch of the military in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (Russian Armed Forces) from 2001 to 2011. On December 1, 2011, they were transformed into aerospace defense troops. On August 1, 2015, they were recreated as a branch of the military as part of the Aerospace Forces. Flag Small, medium, large emblem of the Russian Space Forces

monitoring space objects and identifying threats to Russia in space and from space, and, if necessary, countering such threats; providing senior management levels with reliable information about the detection of ballistic missile launches and warning about a missile attack; launching spacecraft into orbit, controlling military and dual-purpose (military and civil) satellite systems in flight and using individual of them in the interests of providing the troops (forces) of the Russian Federation with the necessary information; The main tasks of the space forces are to maintain the established composition and readiness for use of military and dual-use satellite systems, means of launching and controlling them, and a number of other tasks.

Historical background The first military formations for space purposes were formed in the second half of the 1950s as part of the Strategic Missile Forces in connection with preparations for the launch of the first artificial Earth satellite. By the end of the 1950s, the organizational structure of space units included a test department, separate engineering test units and a range measuring complex at the Baikonur test site, scientific testing departments and separate scientific measuring points of the Command and Measuring Complex Center. On October 4, 1957, the launch and control units of spacecraft carried out the launch of the first artificial Earth satellite, PS-1, and on April 12, 1961, the launch and control of the flight of the world’s first manned spacecraft, Vostok, with cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin on board. Subsequently, all domestic and international space programs were carried out with the participation of military units for launching and controlling spacecraft. To centralize work on the creation of new assets, as well as to quickly resolve issues of the development and use of space assets, the Central Directorate of Space Assets of the Ministry of Defense (TsUKOS MO) was created in 1964 as part of the Strategic Missile Forces. In 1970, TsUKOS MO was reorganized into the Main Directorate of Space Facilities of the Moscow Region (GUKOS MO). Due to the increased volume of tasks being solved, in 1982 the GUKOS MO and the units subordinate to it were withdrawn from the Strategic Missile Forces and subordinated directly to the USSR Minister of Defense. GUKOS MO as the central control body for space units functioned until August 1992, when the Military Space Forces (VKS) were formed. In 1998, the Aerospace Forces were included in the Strategic Missile Forces with the status of space assets management. In 2001, in connection with the increasing role of space assets in the military and national security system of Russia, the Space Forces were created on the basis of military units for launching and controlling spacecraft and military formations of missile and space defense. They included all military formations that were previously part of the Aerospace Forces, as well as the missile and space defense association. On December 1, 2011, the Space Forces became part of the created new branch of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - the Aerospace Defense Forces (VKO). With the introduction of the Aerospace Defense Forces in Russia, the Space Forces, as an independent branch of the military, ceased to exist, but from August 1, 2015, they were recreated as a branch of the military within the Aerospace Forces, formed from the Air Force and Aerospace Defense Forces. The creation of a new branch of the Armed Forces was due to a shift in the center of gravity of the armed struggle to the aerospace sphere.

On December 24, 2012, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant General Alexander Golovko was appointed commander of the Aerospace Defense Forces

All about Defender of the Fatherland Day History of the holiday Artinsk Central Library

In Russia there is a holiday called Defender of the Fatherland Day, which is celebrated on February 23. This holiday has its origins in the post-revolutionary period, when the young Russian state was just beginning its formation. Later, during the existence of the Soviet Union, this date was called the Day of the Soviet Army and Navy. The Soviet state collapsed in 1991, but the memorable day continues to exist and is celebrated by Russian people every year. This day has a special meaning for everyone who remembers their history and is a patriot of their Motherland.

History of origin Historically, in Russia it is now difficult to find a family whose relatives did not participate in bloody battles defending their native land. In every century, domestic history preserves the memory of wars, battles, battles, including modern military campaigns that are already taking place in our century. The strength and combat effectiveness of our army has worldwide fame and respect; military power has become an integral part of the Russian state. During his reign, Alexander III expressed the idea that our country has only 2 reliable allies, and they are the navy and the army, there are no others.

Russian history has forever preserved in memory many examples when the army united with the Russian people and made its victorious march. Therefore, the appearance of the holiday celebrated on February 23 is associated with historical events, and this date has become important and understandable for all the people.

Previously, after the revolution, the holiday was called Red Army Day; at the suggestion of Nikolai Podvoisky and the resolution of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, it was planned to be held on January 28, 1919, coinciding with the 1st anniversary of the creation of the Soviet army. But for a number of reasons, preparations for the celebration were delayed, and the holiday itself was moved to February 23, and its real date was forgotten over time.

The next celebration was organized only in 1922, and from then on it began to be celebrated annually, despite the fact that the actual date of the founding of the Soviet army was different. They tried to link the origin of the memorable date with the military actions of 1918, when the Red Army entered into a military conflict with German troops, and there was also an attempt to combine this event with the beginning of general mobilization, but these versions did not stand the test of time and ceased to exist. Since those time immemorial, the day February 23 appeared in Russia, which in its modern version is called Defender of the Fatherland Day and is considered a non-working day.

At all times since the formation of our state, the army and navy have been of great importance; it was thanks to the high degree of combat capability that our fatherland could withstand enemy attacks. Soviet Russia was surrounded on all sides by unfriendly neighbors, so supporting the Red Army was the primary task of the young state. The main army consisted of young people who were builders of a new socialist society and unconditionally believed in the country's leading leaders. Therefore, the appearance of such a holiday became a natural phenomenon for the entire Soviet society.

After the war, in 1946, they decided to rename the memorable day, as a result of which it received a new name - the Day of the Soviet Army and Navy. Under this name, the holiday existed until the collapse of the Soviet state, but it is worth clarifying that according to the calendar, February 23 was never a non-working day in the USSR. On this day, the country remembered its heroes, defenders of the Motherland and encouraged the younger generation to be patriotic. Gradually, among adults and even in school groups, a tradition began to develop to give memorable gifts and souvenirs to adult men and young boys, so the holiday on February 23 was often called “men’s day.” After the war, in 1946, they decided to rename the memorable day, as a result of which it received a new name - the Day of the Soviet Army and Navy.
