A selection point for contract service has opened at the Victory Parade in Tatarstan.

      Today at the Victory Parade, a mobile selection point for military service under contract was opened. Everyone interested can learn about military service under contract in the Special Military Operation (SMO), in the African Corps, and in unmanned systems troops. This was reported by the officer of the selection point for military service under contract in Kazan, Yegor Goryachev. In the autonomous tent, everyone interested can receive detailed information about military service under contract, submit an application, and undergo initial selection, including for unmanned systems troops. "Everyone interested can learn about military service under contract. We provide information about priority military units that are currently being staffed, as well as conduct initial selection activities. We have a model of the Kalashnikov assault rifle and the Makarov pistol that can be examined, touched, and even assembled and disassembled. In addition, we have prepared a shooting range and a drone control simulator. Anyone can try their hand," he said. The mobile selection point also features models of the equipment used by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. This year, among the special exhibits are an anti-personnel mine and an American-made helmet. These are trophies brought from the SMO zone. It should be noted that starting from January 1, payments to citizens wishing to sign a contract with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in Tatarstan have been increased to 2.9 million rubles – one of the highest payments in the country and the highest in the Volga Federal District. Additionally, more than three thousand municipal acts aimed at supporting participants of the SMO and their families have been adopted in Tatarstan to date. For those wishing to sign a contract for service in the unmanned systems troops in Tatarstan, a separate hotline has been opened, which can be accessed by calling 117 and pressing button "4". If a candidate meets the preliminary criteria for signing a contract in the unmanned systems troops, their contact details will be passed on to a specialist at the selection point. Fighters of the new troops will control everything that flies, swims, and moves on the ground without a pilot. This includes the famous "Geraniums," tracked drones "Strannik," and unmanned boats. The minimum contract term is one year. One of the main features of service in the unmanned systems troops is that the contract is signed for a term of one year and is not automatically extended. Additionally, military personnel will not be transferred to other troops, and training will take place for at least two months in regions neighboring Tatarstan. Gamers have a better chance of joining the unmanned systems troops, as they have developed fine motor skills, and the interface familiar to gamers accelerates learning.
