The Polytechnic University held a comprehensive training session on anti-terrorist protection of facilities and the territory “Polytechnic Dome-2025”. Similar training sessions are held at the university regularly, their goal is to practice actions in emergency situations, test the functionality of warning systems, improve interaction with law enforcement agencies, municipal, district and city services, security and law enforcement agencies.
The training was attended by employees of the Civil Security Department, cadets of the Military Training Center and employees of the security organization “U-Piter”, the student fire and rescue squad “Pyotr Velikiy”, representatives of the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Kalininsky District, the demining group of the OMON “Bastion” of the Russian Guard for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, the non-departmental security department for the Kalininsky District, representatives of Legion LLC, the rescue corps of the St. Petersburg University of the GPS EMERCOM of Russia named after E. N. Zinichev.
The training consisted of five stages. The first stage involved a simulated armed attack on the university campus. Suddenly, two people appeared on the platform in front of the NIC – one with a backpack, and the other with a machine gun (their roles were played by activists of the Military History Club “Our Polytechnic”. Then the events developed so quickly that at some point it seemed that this was no longer a training session. The armed criminal fired a burst at a peacefully standing group of students. They rushed into the building. The security guards barricaded the door and reported the attack to the University Security Center. There, the duty officer already knew about what had happened (one of the Polytechnic employees called after noticing the armed men), he pressed the panic button, passed the information to the chairman of the commission for the prevention and elimination of emergency situations and fire safety (KChS and OPB) of the Polytechnic, the vice-rector for security, the head of the Civil Security Department, the head of the civil defense department. The duty unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, the UFSB of Russia for St. Petersburg and Leningrad region and other emergency services.
While the criminals were unsuccessfully tugging at the door handle, a Rosgvardia car appeared in the distance. Noticing it, one of the guys dropped his backpack and ran away. The second, left alone, started shooting back – only the cartridges flew off to the sides. But the patrol group of the Kalininsky District Rosgvardia Non-Departmental Security Department managed to twist him quite harshly, search him and disarm him. Then the hypothetical terrorist was put in the car and driven away.
But the abandoned backpack remained and aroused suspicion. The National Guard assumed that it contained a homemade explosive device. The OMON Bastion group was called in to defuse the mines, and the dangerous area was cordoned off.
A mobile device for localizing explosive objects, “FONTAN-2”, was taken out of the NIK and installed to prevent fragments from flying apart. At this time, employees of the engineering and technical department of the OMON “Bastion” arrived with a dog handler and a mine-detection dog Chiba. To prevent a possible remote detonation, the group deployed a “Pelena-12” radio jammer. Based on the dog’s behavior, the dog handler realized that there really was an explosive device in the backpack. It was detonated using the ETsV-14 destroyer installed on the MRK-15 mobile robotic complex.
For reliability, the explosion site was also examined by a specialist in a special protective suit “Kupol”, which can withstand an explosion of up to 1.5 kg in TNT equivalent. After that, forensic experts could begin the case.
The second and third stages of the training involved practicing actions in the event of a drone threat and attack. FPV drones suddenly appeared over the heads of the training participants and spectators. The duty administrator of the CBU turned on the alert: “Attention! Threat of attack by an unmanned aerial vehicle!” A siren wailed over the campus. But the signal about the attack had already been conveyed to law enforcement agencies.
The police squad that arrived managed to suppress one of the drones with an electronic warfare system – an anti-drone gun, and the second one managed to drop a grenade on a specially parked old passenger car before being destroyed. An explosion was heard, and a fire started, and with it the fourth stage of the training.
A combat fire brigade arrived to put out the fire – two units of the 34th fire and rescue unit. Soon only foam remained from the flames and smoke.
At the final stage of the exercise, representatives of the rescue corps of the E. N. Zinichev University of the Russian Emergencies Ministry in St. Petersburg showed off their skills. Before the ambulance arrived, they treated wounds and applied bandages to victims of gunshot and high-explosive shrapnel wounds.
At the end of the training, SPbPU Vice-Rector for Security Alexander Airapetyan thanked all the participants, noted the high organizational level of the event and emphasized the importance of practical preparation for emergency situations.
