When on a working visit to the Republic of Dagestan, Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov inspected the infrastructure being developed at the Caspian Flotilla.

During the meeting, Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov received reports from the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Aleksandr Moiseyev, and the Commander of the Caspian Flotilla, Rear Admiral Oleg Zverev, on the organisation of combat training for the Flotilla's military personnel, the development of the naval base's infrastructure, and the activation of new port facilities.

At present, a system of new hydraulic structures including northern and southern moles of more than two kilometres, piers and coastal infrastructure is being constructed in Kaspiysk to effectively support the berthing and maintenance of ships, boats, and watercraft in general.

The Russian Minister of Defence was also informed that special attention is paid to resolving social maintenance issues of servicemen and their families, including the service-provided accommodation.

The head of the Russian Defence Ministry pointed out to representatives of the Russian Defence Ministry's military construction complex the need to bring the facilities into operation as soon as possible, taking into account the urgency of the Flotilla's tasks.

'We are about to take this facility under special control so that everything is organised at its best. This facility is to be completed,' said the Russian Defence Minister during the inspection of the construction of a new building of the Caspian Flotilla's Headquarters.

A representative of the Military Construction Complex briefed the Russian Minister of Defence on the the construction progress of main facilities of the base and also noted that a 150-bed garrison hospital was currently being completed and is scheduled to be commissioned as early as May 2025.

At the training facility of the anti-submarine sabotage unit, Andrei Belousov was informed on the organisation of combat diver training, training methods, and equipping the Centre with the necessary means for special sea- and ground-based missions.

At the end of the visit, Andrei Belousov presented servicemen who had distinguished themselves in the zone of the special military operation with state awards.
