Russian military educational institutions have begun graduating officers earlier than usual.

On April 29, the 112th graduation of officers took place in the capital of the Amur Region, on the square of the Far Eastern Higher Combined Arms Command School.

Among the graduates were officers of the special faculty who completed training in several specialties, including the use of motorized rifle and tank units.

Graduates of the school gained practical experience during military internships, including the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, adjusting artillery fire, and the organization and work order of the unit commander on the battlefield.

Next, Russian officers will be sent to various military districts of the Russian Armed Forces.

In recent years, this military institution has been holding officers’ graduations at the end of July.

Officially, the reasons for early graduation from military educational institutions were not specified. In 2022, the graduation ceremony took place on July 23, in 2021 – on July 24.

On April 29, the early 142nd graduation of officers and the 16th graduation of ensigns took place at the Ryazan Higher Airborne Command School.

Usually, the graduation of Russian paratroopers from military educational institutions is held at the end of June.

It is reported that the first officers’ graduation of the lieutenants will be reduced by half – they are needed for the formation of new landing brigades for the war against Ukraine.

As previously reported, in April, Putin signed amendments to the law “On Military Duty and Military Service” introducing electronic summonses.

The law provides for a unified register of Russian conscripts, and also restricts the rights of Russian citizens who refuse to appear at the military commissariat upon receiving a summons.
