The RHM-5 is a sophisticated instrument complex, mounted on the chassis of the Russian airborne armoured fighting vehicle BMD-3. The use of the BMD-3 chassis is a logical choice to standardize maintenance and crew training, in fact, the BMD-3 is widely used in the Russian airborne troops.

An infrared searchlight is mounted to the left side of the turret. The RHM-5 is equipped with Glonass satellite position system and sophisticated computer technology. The GLONASS is a Global Navigation Satellite System, radio-based satellite navigation system operated for the Russian government by the Russian Aerospace Defence Forces.

The Russian servicemen also inspected the area concerning poisonous substances.

The training involves about 200 servicemen and more than 15 pieces of special and military equipment.

The Troops of Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defence (RChBD) of the Russian Land Force are special forces designed to conduct the most complex set of measures aimed at reducing the loss of associations and formations of the LF and ensuring their combat tasks assigned during operations in conditions of radioactive, chemical and biological contamination, as well as at enhancing their survivability and protection against high-precision and other weapons.
