Ukrainian Frontier Russian Force Buildup Map, 2022 2/6/22 (Map 4)

This is a Non-Playable Scenario designed to map the relevant Russian forces around the Ukrainian Frontier in the midst of the Russian Force Buildup that began in late 2021. This Scenario shows forces as of February 3rd, 2022. It maps the maximum force structure available to the Russian Military along the Ukrainian frontier, including Ground Forces, VDV, RNI, VKS, and VKS-PVO elements. It should be noted that all of these forces may not be mobilized (such as elements assigned to Klintsy, which was apparently empty prior to reinforcement.) and thus this should be considered an 'Upper Bound' for Russian Forces.The equipment of some formations is notional where information on their specific composition was not forthcoming. Each unit marker on the map generally should be assumed to represent a Battalion or Battalion Tactical Group (BTG) strength element. (The exceptions are Airbases, Military Bases and Naval Vessels.) The Unit Markers are spaced for visibility and not placed in their specific locations. Specific unit location references should note the specified marshaling grounds and bases on the map, and consult the Russian Side briefing. The briefing contains a detailed Order of Battle for the Forces mapped, including their basing locations. If you have specific information on unit composition or specific units that aren't mobilized feel free to pass it and I'll update the map resultingly. Forces confirmed en route to Belarus but not yet observed arriving are marked with a Red Exclusion Zone in Noarthern Belarus. Only Russian Military (DoD) subordinated Regular units are marked; Rosguardia and MVD Internal Troops are not being mapped. Now specific Ukrainian Air Force, Air Defense, and Ground Facilities of importance have been mapped as well. In the absence of specific knowledge on Ukrainian AD Deployments they have been placed at their home bases. Those who download are encouraged to experiment with creating Air Defense Approaches for the Ukrainians. (Remember LOS, Elevation, and Terrain.)

So, in summary:

This is a NON-PLAYABLE scenario. It is a mapping project.
This Map represents the MAXIMUM AVAILABLE FORCE STRUCTURE to the Russians, some of which may not be mobilized. (Yet?)
Unit markers are spaced for visibility, except for base locations themselves, which are specific.
Generally unit markers indicate BTN/BTG strength formations.
Unit equipment compositions are notional where specific information was not available to the author.
The Russian Side Briefing contains a detailed Order of Battle, as well as sourcing information and should be consulted heavily.
Only Russian MoD Regular Military Formations are mapped; Rosguardia and MVD Internals will not be mapped in this effort.
