The August 1943 Mius Frontline Breakthrough was re-enacted on the closing day of ARMY-2022. Grounds for air-rifle shooting, paintball and simulator sessions were made available for the duration of the forum.

"The event is of great interest; it shows what determines the power of the Russian Armed Forces, their present and future. It was no accident that "Sambek Heights" were chosen as the venue of the forum. In 1941-1943, about 200000 soldiers of the Soviet Union died here. The museum is dedicated to the feat of our warriors, preserving the memory of how the Red Army defended the Don region from a terrible and cruel enemy", said Rostov Oblast Governor Vasily Golubev while the opening ceremony of ARMY-2022.
