However, Russia has many powerful departments, one of which is called the Russian Federal Border Service. This department has its own armed forces, namely the Russian border guards. They are the real border guards, and their troops are not the regular army of 654.38+0.2 million.
The easiest way to judge the Russian regular army and border guards is to look at the epaulettes, whose background color is green. In addition, the weapons of the border guards are not weak, and the frontline troops are also equipped with heavy equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles.
In addition, although Russia has a vast territory and a long border defense, a large part of its territory is no man's land, so there is no need to arrange a large number of troops there to waste resources. Therefore, it only needs to selectively station troops in some important border cities and transportation hubs, and at the same time learn the lessons of national defense in World War II, and no longer concentrate a large number of troops near the border.
