Oct 5

Vesti-Irkutsk's complete report shows a five-team tactical-medicine tournament for a Russian National Guard regiment guarding an important state facility at the Steklyanka training ground in Angarsk Urban District, marking the Guard's tenth anniversary. Teams face simulated explosions, gunfire, drone attacks and grenade tripwires while finding, assessing, splinting and evacuating a simulated casualty. The report follows the red-zone evacuation through stabilization and loading into a medical vehicle. Scoring covers quality, speed and communication with headquarters. An unnamed participant compares the skills with real needs in the war referred to as the special military operation; organizers hope to expand the competition to regional level. The injuries and attacks shown are exercise scenarios.
