Outside the 21st century. But, despite this, military conflicts do not subside, including with the participation of the Russian army. Courage and valor, courage and courage are qualities characteristic of Russian soldiers. Therefore, the exploits of Russian soldiers and officers require separate and detailed coverage.
How ours fought in Chechnya
The exploits of Russian soldiers these days do not leave anyone indifferent. The first example of unlimited courage is the tank crew, led by Yuri Sulimenko.
The exploits of the Russian soldiers of the tank battalion began in 1994. During the First Chechen War, Sulimenko acted as a crew commander. The team showed good results and in 1995 took an active part in the storming of Grozny. The tank battalion was defeated in 2/3 of the personnel. However, brave fighters led by Yuri did not run away from the battlefield, but went to the presidential palace.
Tank Sulimenko was surrounded by Dudaevites. The team of fighters did not surrender, on the contrary, began to conduct aimed fire at strategic targets. Despite the numerical superiority of the opponents, Yuri Sulimenko and his crew were able to inflict tremendous losses on the militants.
The commander received dangerous injuries to the legs, burns to the body and face. Victor Velichko with the rank of foreman was able to give him first aid in a burning tank, after which he carried himself to a safe place. These feats of Russian soldiers in Chechnya did not go unnoticed. The soldiers were awarded the titles of Heroes of the Russian Federation.
Yuri Sergeevich Igitov - the hero posthumously
Very often, the exploits of Russian soldiers and officers today become well-known after the death of heroes. This is exactly what happened in the case of Igitov Yuri. The rank and file was awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation posthumously for the performance of a duty and a special task.
Yuri Sergeyevich took part in the Chechen war. The private was 21 years old, but despite his youth, he showed courage and valor in the last seconds of his life. Igitov's platoon was surrounded by Dudaev fighters. Most of the comrades died under numerous enemy shots. The brave ordinary price of his life until the last bullet covered the departure of the surviving soldiers. When the enemy attacked, Yuri blew up a grenade without surrendering to the enemy.
Evgeny Rodionov - faith in God until the last breath
The feats of Russian soldiers these days cause boundless pride of fellow citizens, especially when it comes to young boys who have given their lives for a peaceful sky above their heads. Unlimited heroism and unshakable faith in God was shown by Evgeny Rodionov, who, under the threat of death, refused to remove the pectoral cross.
Young Eugene was called to serve in 1995. Permanent service took place in the North Caucasus, at the border point of Ingushetia and Chechnya. Together with comrades, he entered the guard on February 13. Performing their direct task, the soldiers stopped an ambulance in which weapons were transported. After that, the rank and file were captured.
For about 100 days, the soldiers were tortured, severely beaten and humiliated. Despite the unbearable pain, the threat of death, the soldiers did not remove the crosses. For this, Eugene was cut off his head, and the rest of his colleagues were shot on the spot. For the martyrdom of Rodionov, Eugene was awarded the Order of Courage posthumously.
Ioannina Irina - an example of heroism and courage
The exploits of Russian soldiers these days are not only the heroic deeds of men, but also the incredible prowess of Russian women. A sweet, fragile girl participated in two military operations as a nurse during the First Chechen War. 1999 was the third test in the life of Irina.
August 31, 1999 became fatal. Under threat to her own life, nurse Yanina saved more than 40 people by making three trips to an armored personnel carrier to the line of fire. The fourth trip of Irina ended tragically. During the counterattack of the enemy, Yanina not only organized lightning-fast loading of wounded soldiers, but also covered the retreat of her colleagues with automatic fire.
Unfortunately for the girl, two grenades got into the armored personnel carrier. The nurse rushed to the aid of the wounded commander and the 3rd private. Irina saved the young soldiers from certain death, but did not manage to get out of the burning car herself. Ammunition armored personnel carrier detonated.
For their valor and courage, Ianina Irina was awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation posthumously. Irina is the only woman who has been awarded this title for operations in the North Caucasus.
Krapovy takes posthumously
The feats of Russian soldiers these days are known not only in Russia. The story of Sergey Burnaev leaves no one indifferent. Brown - that is what the comrades in the service called the commander - was in Vityaz, a special division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In 2002, the detachment was sent to the city of Argun, where an arms clandestine warehouse with numerous tunnels was discovered.
Opponents could only be reached through an underground hole. The first went Sergey Burnaev. Opponents opened fire on a fighter who was able in the darkness to answer the challenge of militants. The comrades were in a hurry to help, it was at that moment that Brown saw a grenade that rolled towards the fighters. Without hesitation, Sergey Burnaev closed a grenade with his body, thereby saving his colleagues from certain death.
For a perfect feat Sergey Burnaev was awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation. A memorial plaque was opened at the school where he studied so that young people would remember the exploits of Russian soldiers and officers today. Parents were given a maroon beret in honor of the memory of the brave soldier.
Beslan: no one is forgotten
The exploits of Russian soldiers and officers these days are the best confirmation of the boundless courage of men in uniform. September 1, 2004 was a rainy day in the history of North Ossetia and all of Russia. The capture of the school in Beslan did not leave anyone indifferent. Andrei Turkin was no exception. The lieutenant took an active part in the operation to free the hostages.
Andrei Turkin was injured at the very beginning of the rescue operation, but did not leave school. Thanks to professional skills, the lieutenant took an advantageous position in the dining room, where about 250 hostages were placed. The militants were eliminated, which increased the chances of a successful outcome of the operation.
However, a militant with an active grenade came to the rescue of the terrorists. Turkin, without hesitation, rushed to the bandit, clutching the device between himself and the enemy. This action saved the lives of innocent children. The lieutenant posthumously became a Hero of the Russian Federation.
Combat Sun
In ordinary everyday life of military service, feats of Russian soldiers are also often performed. Sergei Solnechnikov, or battalion commander the Sun, in 2012 during a military exercise became a hostage to the situation, the way out of which was a real feat. Saving his soldiers from death, the battalion commander covered his own body with an activated grenade, which flew off the edge of the parapet. Thanks to Sergey’s dedication, tragedy was avoided. Posthumously, the battalion was awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation.
Whatever the feats of Russian soldiers these days, everyone should remember the valor and courage of the army. Only the memory of the actions of each of these heroes is an award for the courage that cost them their lives.
