The Operational Group of Russian Forces in Transnistria…is a sizable overseas military
task force of the
Russian Armed Forces. It serves as part of the tri-lateral
Joint Control Commission (JCC) in the region with around 350 soldiers provided to the JCC.
1,500 soldiers of the military force are based at the former decommissioned
Soviet-era
ammunition depot at
Cobasna, where it guards around 22,000 tons of military equipment and ammunition.
The core of the OGRT consists of 70 to 100 Russian officers who normally rotate every six months, with the rest being Transnistrian locals employed as soldiers.
Blimey........just looked at where that place is on the map.......a mere 2km from the border with Ukraine..........and very remote.
I'm surprised Ukraine SF haven't paid that place a visit by now.
