FAR EASTERN TROOPS WITHOUT MODERN WEAPONS.

A deputy commander of the Far Eastern Military District complained yesterday that the district had not received a single new weapons system in 1995. Lt. Gen. Yuri Yakubov said that only the efforts of maintenance personnel in repairing broken-down equipment had allowed any training at all to take place. He warned that even these efforts would not be enough this year. (Interfax-Eurasia, January 22)
