37 Okrema air assault brigade. Airborne assault forces of the Soviet Socialist Republic. The idea makes its way

The appearance of the DShV is strictly connected with the appearance of helicopters, or more precisely, with the creation of government officials, which creates a necessary complex. This is how it was in military history, when technological progress introduced new types of armed forces into the battle arena. However, there was another forerunner that lies in the peculiarities of the forms of combat stagnation of the Airborne Forces, which was expressed in their stagnation as warehouse operations on an operational-tactical scale.

... Unfortunately, it is easy to know that the first airborne assault operations (actions) associated with the landing of quite small landings were carried out by the Germans during the hour of the Other World War. Their list of activities includes: Vordingborg Town (Denmark, 1940), Fort Eben-Emael (Belgium, 1940), bridges across the Albert Canal (Belgium, 1940), a complex of bridges across the Meuse (Holland, 1940), bridges across the West. Dvina and Berezina (SRSR, 1941). All stinks are completely eliminated by airborne assault operations, whether carried out by German airborne forces or special forces. All operations were carried out within the framework of the macrogoal - to ensure maximum penetration of our ground troops, to block (lock) the enemy’s troops from their positions, etc. Methods of landing in such a massacre: parachute, landing on gliders, landing on airplanes. However, in the coming years of war, such landings were not actually victorious. The warring parties began to engage in large-scale VDOs, which themselves would have an impact on the underlying operational-strategic situation at the front. In whose channel there was also a post-war development, zokrema. and the Radyansky theory of stagnation of the Airborne Forces.

There are reasons why the Radyan military command did not conduct tactical airborne landings during the offensive of 1944-45. didn’t understand. For everything, there are three main officials involved here.

According to Pershe, the failures of large-scale ADOs further supported the belief in the effectiveness of landings in the future (acknowledged for the obvious material and technical basis and the external level of the organization).

In a different way The very idea of airborne landings, of course, turned out to be incorrect; Their possible results were not valid (although such results were transferred to the “Instructions for combat standstill of the Airborne Forces” 1943).

In third, the command simply did not respect the need to stagnate them - that is. It was important that it was better to use ground-based methods that were practiced and trusted.

Ale tse is all the more deprived. Particularly to the author, it seems entirely possible to see from the hundreds already revealed before 1944 (in 1945, over 1000 units) of active military transport planes Li-2 and S-47, a few dozen vehicles and wikis date the parachute battalion on the same roads after postacannya or for the burial of river bridgeheads - this could, in a number of episodes, greatly ease the action of the ground troops. Ale, what happened, what happened.

For example, in the 1940s, unknown to everyone, helicopters simply appeared on the scene - a new class of lethal machines. Helicopters (which reach a level of technical excellence sufficient for combat) have successfully proven themselves in the Incheon Naval Landing Operation (AMO) and in further operations of the American military. ysk in Korea. Ukrainian designers imagine building a car in the distance - the Mi-4 - which began in 1953. Join the military en masse.
Already in 1954, the first great experimental landing was carried out with 36 helicopters armed with cars and artillery. It was also carried out with little evidence to begin with (including with the real stagnation of the nuclear armor) from the landing of helicopter landings on the enemy's front at the battalion and regimental scale... The protest stalled out. Thus, the usual organizational approaches were not implemented until the creation of specialized molds.
Reasons:

According to Pershe, The negative role of the Khrushchev-missile factor.

In a different way, oversize of the airborne forces - the stench of the first half of the 1950s. there are as many as 15 divisions; and the mother’s airborne units are already impudence, especially since the “Khrushchev-style” abrogation of the Armed Forces has begun.

In third, nuclear paranoia, which still affected the world until this hour, did not deprive the clean (without the protection of the armored personnel carrier) riflemen-infantry from a place in the battle formations; The helicopter is aligned with the armored personnel carrier vehicle.

On a quarter, The army of parachute-landing units of the Airborne Forces in Great Britain existed until 1957. And the rifle divisions, which were created by both these and others, could, once such a mission was staged, be parachuted from helicopters into the enemy’s rear.

Five, We rely on the power of tank armored fists for the Radian military leaders of uncatchable, powerful and weakly protected flying cuttlefish with a propeller on the top (with hundreds of “jet fluids” and fast licked aerodynamics ki!) did not seem to be like this, if it could have been done.

Among the capitalists

Zagalom had a similar situation with the VDO theory and among the Americans. A beautiful illustration can be found in the phrase of the General of the American Airborne Forces James Gavin from his book “Airborne War”: “... the military forces fight en masse, and not in separate groups. And even there, where their actions can ut in depth, and not in many points , these days you won’t be able to achieve any local tactical successes.” Prote, the stench of war is evident in what later began to be called “weak possession of the theater of operations,” then. on the Korean Peninsula, causing the American command to think and do something worse. The helicopter has shown itself to be a very promising means of transportation in the minds of the mountain-foliage locality and the presence of roads. The number of helicopters is greatly increasing - by the end of the war, there were already 1140 units in the army aviation warehouse, while there were only 56 units per cob. The American command is creating and completing the formation of the 11th Air Assault Division. On this basis and on the basis of two more units (the 10th air transport brigade and the 2nd infantry division) in Lipna 1965 is being created (more precisely, it is being reformed from the original one) 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) ). The most significant innovations were the first introduction of helicopters as transport and combat equipment with a total capacity of up to 434 (428 after other data). The division was transferred to Vietnam at the end of the same month. And without being surprised by the lack of proper theoretical analysis of airborne (helicopter-landing) operations, without even mentioning the everyday practical activities, it showed itself from the very side. It’s clear that this division is not small in helicopters. All American divisions in Vietnam have a small number of helicopters in their inventory. The same as in the series. 1967 r. bulo bl. 2000 units, then in 1968 their quantity reached 4200 units!

It seemed that in Korea only helicopters had announced their existence and their prospects were unfathomable, but the war in Vietnam brought the helicopter to the zenith of fame and popularity. Until that hour, the stench was still perceived as something exotic of some additional significance. The Americans began to quiver at the helicopter, as those hot heads began to talk about the approach of a parachute (with flying) landing like this.

In Russia

So active and so far away the stagnation of helicopters dealt with the enemy and at the Radyan command. The idea is being revived - in the course of the strategic beginnings of "Dnipro-67" mainly on the basis of the 51st river. An experimental formation of the 1st Airborne Brigade is being formed under the command of the Honorary Command. In the context of combat training, the Airborne Forces Directorate, Major General Kobzar, is working to establish a bridgehead across the Dnieper, as well as a motorized rifle battalion, which is transferred by helicopters equipped with self-propelled projectiles yami. A special working group under the General Staff carries out theoretical research and experiments. І axis, behind the pouches of these works, after the end of 1967. A decision is being made about the formation of completely new military formations for the Radyan Army - a number of air assault brigades. Behind the bags of the General Staff directive dated May 22, 1968. In early 1968, the formation of the 11th (ZBVO) and 13th (DVO) brigades began. Up to the middle of the lime tree, the brigades were already formed. (According to other data, the 13th brigade was still formed until the linden-sickle of 1970). In 1973, a third brigade was added to them - 21st in Kutais (ZKVO).

The brigades were formed, apparently, from a “clean slate”. It was staffed by officers and soldiers from the military districts, and officers from the Airborne Forces were assigned to the staff of the airborne service (VDS) and to the brigade commanders.

However, a number of subjective factors and peculiarities of the Radyansky Duma played a role here. Due to the lack of confidence in the Radyan military personnel to lust, underestimation of combat capabilities, especially on an operational scale, such brigades were considered insufficiently strong for operations in the European theater of operations. Therefore, they flared up on straightaways with less, equalized from the approaching, threat - it was recognized by their mothers to be able to act on an important passage for ground equipment of the girni-foliage (taiga) m The end of the battlefield was inevitable. The resentment of the distant brigades was not intended for carrying out landings near the enemy behind the primary scheme, but for covering the great plot of the Radian-Chinese cordon. (There was a poster of scientific propaganda with a somewhat surrealistic inscription: “Assault paratrooper – hourly cordon.”) The aviation depot of the leather brigade was represented by an air group at the depot of two full-time helicopter regiments. In this case, there is little difference in administrative order between the ground components: the ground component is the Headquarters of the Ground Forces, and the ground component is the Headquarters of the UPU; which inevitably created a minimum of serious problems by organizing mutual cooperation.

For the current operational-tactical and tactical landings at EuroTV, it was planned to obtain the initial parachute-landing and motorized rifle squads (companies and battalions) from the airborne landings and then Alnovian divisions.

Here we should say a little about terminology. Not quickly used by the terms created by capitalists and until 1971, the names and terminology were chosen; brigades and battalions; and also the methods of their combat stagnation were renamed to air assault. Thus, the American terms “survival-assault” and “airmobile” step-by-step ceased to stagnate in the Russian airborne units and began to appear in official documents of completely foreign formulations of this type.

Until the end of 1971 All brigades will be reorganized into air assault units with changes in the organizational and staffing structure (OSS).

In 1984, 83 squadrons and two adjacent regiments were formed - the 1318th and 1319th squadrons for regular Operational Maneuver Groups (OMG) - stink - t.z. Around the Army Corps (UAC). And in 1986, more brigades were formed - the 23rd, 128th and 130th.

Thus, at the end of 1986, there were 16 brigades, 2 regiments and 20 divisions in the Radyan Army. battalions. The regular staffing number of the air traffic controllers per hour was 65-70 thousand. chol. However, at the time of peace, the parts were located in a very shortened warehouse - in the middle block. 31-34 thousand. chol. In this case, there are a number of well-staffed brigades and battalions, who have plenty of personnel for mobilization of the throat.

Orderliness

Bagatioh tsikavit food - did the DShCh enter the Airborne Forces warehouse? If it was squeezed, they didn’t enter. DShCh entered the warehouse of the Headquarters of the SV (GK SV). What does it mean in this case that the military servicemen of the Airborne Forces are not airborne paratroopers? Doesn't mean. The organizational, administrative affiliation of the DShCh to the Central Committee of the North is simply a feature of the original Radyan military organization. Remaining in order, the SV DShCH DCs were closely aligned with the command of the leading military formations - corps, armies, fronts, military districts and military groups - in peace. Moreover, the same situation was repeated with them that with units of special significance - there were combat units, but there were no military units. There was a command of the commander of tank troops, motorized rifle troops, but there was no command of the commander of the airborne assault troops. Formally speaking, there were no such military forces themselves, as there were no military forces of special significance. This situation was considered an unpleasant situation at the DShV. The stench became the underside of two mothers - on one side of the Airborne Forces, on the other side of the SV GK. “Other-class” (especially in the early days of the founding) position in the secret internal army hierarchy led to obvious unacceptable inheritances: an overwhelming respect for problems that worsened Postachannyam, menshoy uvagoyu until completing and navchannya then. According to the information of officers and airborne forces and ground forces, their value in the airborne forces was most often valued at the “messages” (perhaps, in addition to parts among military groups - there all the places, understandably, were valued more).

In the operational plan (combat standstill), the DShV units were ordered by the command of the military formations - armies and fronts (districts, military groups). The detailed methods and forms of their combat training of airborne infantry units and their preparation - the combat training department of the DC SV was in charge of the Airborne Forces command jointly with the BP branch. The fundamental principles of combat stagnation of the DShV lay with the conscience of the General Staff of the Western Armed Forces of the USSR.

In infants born 1989 A decision is being made on the transfer of airborne units to the administrative and operational order of the Airborne Forces command.
This is not enough for the significance of the investigation.
On the one hand, it was positive in the sense that the DSH in such a manner found a “real father” in place of a suspected witch and an evil mother, and their status immediately advanced and gained a “legitimate” appearance.
On the other hand, the close relationship between the headquarters of the DShCh and the formerly, and now unknown, headquarters of the underground intelligence agencies has broken down. The DShV, recognized before the impact of the Zagalnovian obediences, stopped subordinating to their command, which, in my opinion, sharply reduced the effectiveness of their combat stagnation. Perhaps the best solutions would be the following ordering scheme: administratively - to the commander of the PDV (staffing, development of methods and forms of action, military equipment, uniforms and equipment), operationally (combat standstill) - command Why operational and operational-strategic communications in the interests of This molding is transferred to the vicinity.
Meanwhile, with the printed 1989 rub. The collapse of the Radian Zbroinyh Forces still plays little role. But that's another story.

Powers between Airborne Forces and DShV

For the Airborne Forces, obviously to a tired mind, they are typically concentrated in the form of large-scale (1-2 airborne divisions) airborne operations (VDO) for the purposes of operational and operational-strategic nature at great depths (up to 1 00-150 km and more ) , then the idea of staying the DShV lies in the area of swedishly beyond the purely tactical or, at most, operational-tactical. Since, for the Airborne Forces, the nutritional organization of interaction with the Ground Forces (SV) is not harsh - the stinks are thrown at the bottom of the lower front (group of fronts), or the direction of the Supreme High Command (SHC), then the DShV is right for us really. Vlasna, DSHCH navіt do not pursue their goals, but rather a pretense. (They act within the framework of the goal assigned to their senior commander - the commander of the Galalnovian army. This “macro goal” means the “micro goal” of the landing forces, which also means the task force, the warehouse of forces, the method of stagnation.) In this way, you can see the heads Well, the primordial peculiarity of the DShCh is their stasis It rotates consistently to the goals and orders of the ground military command authority, usually the army-corps level, or, in some cases, the division. The hierarchically younger command authority means, as a rule, the smaller scale of the forces that arise. While the Airborne Forces operate as divisions, the Airborne Forces operate as companies and battalions, and even more so as a brigade/regiment.

In the administration of the Airborne Forces, in which there was a great "Gaizhyunayskaya Pidruchka" - 44th Airborne Forces; The DShV were staffed by young commanders and fakhivs, who mostly graduated from the initial divisions of the Ground Forces and a smaller number of Gaizhyuna military forces.
^

Uniform and arrangement

Due to the fact that the DShV entered the warehouse of the Ground Forces in an organized manner, their uniforms, ordering and security standards were perhaps similar to those of the motorized rifle troops. The command did not want to lose respect for the inconsistency of the low elements of the military uniform and the disorganization of the landing specifics, and the moral official did not respect it. Zagalom until mid. 1983, the entire L/S DShV walked in the original form of motorized riflemen - however, due to the obvious inconsistency, the standard Sidori straps were replaced with RD-54 airborne backpacks. However, in this case, “non-statutory” approaches to this rule were also rejected. So, it was possible to wear military “birds” on red buttonholes, and those who left active service tried to get a “normal” paratrooper uniform - with a vest and a beret - and then go “for demobilization” in this look. For the production of parachute jets, so-called so-called "stribkov" airborne overalls.

Vlitku 1983, literally before the death of CPRS Secretary General L.I. Brezhnev, it was decided to normalize the situation and transfer the Airborne Forces to the norms of the post-graduate form of the Airborne Forces, which was broken down until the spring of the onset of fate may be everywhere. And soldiers and officers like to wear black berets and singlets, quickly avoiding the cold and unimportant “red color”.

For a combat situation, we can describe the standard appearance of a Radian paratrooper. The latest whiteness, incl. and a vest (a T-shirt with long sleeves and a vest with a double knit, so it’s insulated); t.sv. “Stribkovy” overalls in a greenish-olive color scheme; a tight-fitting cloth top (with insulation with a lining), with laces (or, sometimes, with belts); nareshti - camouflage KZS (suit of heavy duty) or a special masculine suit. In winter, you wear an insulated suit that consists of a short jacket and trousers; all colors are khaki. Order (ammunition) – dependent on duty. Obov'yazkovo for everyone - the paratrooper's backpack RD-54. In addition, there could be: additional magazine pouches for AK magazines, a pouch for SVD sniper rifle magazines, briefcases for transferring post-shootings to RPGs, etc. For parachute shavings, special hoods under the gunner's armor and a vantage container GK-30 were used.

Same with the series. 80-s, for the construction of the DShV, the dismantling of the transport and dismantling vest of the BVD, which is what the GeDeerivsky paratrooper vest structurally suggests. However, without ever having entered into general mass order.

ORGANIZATION AND ZBROYU

Speaking about the organizational and staffing structure (OSS) and the equipment and equipment (VVT) of sub-units and parts of the DShV, it is necessary to develop the steps of control. First of all, at the DShV, the same rules and features that govern the entire SA are being expanded, and the same functions in the ZShS and the configuration of the OVT are being expanded from part to part. In other words, change by the hour - ZShS and the equipment of the OVT was gradually changing. This was the case as the lower substructures and the underground structure of the elements. Thirdly, the author has not yet been able to establish the ZHS with 100% accuracy according to time periods and local features; This is due to the terrible secrecy regime in place in the Western Soviet Socialist Republic.
However, the problem of updating the historical ZShS DShV becomes problematic and requires further serious investigation. Below, I will introduce the structure of the ODShBR and ODSB without any principle.

It’s a pity, it’s clear that the initial organization of the air assault brigades is not known to me. He will only have to share a hidden structure. Structurally, the brigade consisted of: air groups at the warehouse of two helicopter regiments - combat (bvp) and transport-combat (tbvp), in total 80 Mi-8T, 20 Mi-6A and 20 Mi-24A; three parachute-landing (PDB standard for the Airborne Forces ZShS) and one air-assault battalion (VShB and the original ZShS reinforced in the same with the PDB) battalion. The brigades also include artillery, anti-tank, anti-aircraft and special forces. It is important that the brigades are unable to cope with a heavy warehouse, a fire not typical for the Radyansky units that were landing in that period. The brigade is small, the status of tactical reinforcement is that. was an equal division.

The members of the brigade form the structure visible in the presented area. Thus, the organizational structure of the 83rd brigade was revealed to consist of only two paratroopers (1st and 2nd) and one airborne assault (3rd) battalion. And the organizational structure of the 56th Guards. brigade that fought in 1980-89. in Afghanistan, three air assault (1st, 2nd, 3rd) and one parachute (4th) battalions were identified. The brigade is small, with a non-standard organization and organizational structure. odshp The brigades consisted of only two battalions: the 1st paratroopers (on foot) and the 2nd airborne assault (on BMD), as well as a smaller warehouse for the regimental units. The total number of regiments during the war, which was flared up by the states, reached 1.5-1.6 thousand. chol.

Organizational structure odshb in the European theater of war and the long-distance theater of war it was generally similar to the ZShS pdb brigades, and also small in its warehouse - the fourth company - air assault (on BMD) and a razved platoon (either with BMD, or on UAZ-469), and in the min. The current battery has increased to 8 od. The total strength of the battalion during the war, which was flared up by the states, reached 650-670 people.

In the winter and spring of 1988, organizational changes began and ended until the summer of 1990, then. at that time, when the brigade was renamed to the airborne and reorganized command of the Airborne Forces of the USSR. The brigade was significantly relieved, having collected all the armored vehicles and transferred the airborne assault battalion from its warehouse to BMD/BTRD.

BAGS

As it was predicted earlier, in 1989-90, great changes were made in connection with the transfer of airborne parts to the warehouse of the Airborne Forces. Most of the air assault brigades will be reorganized into a much lighter one according to the established airborne brigade (the process of lightening has started earlier); As a result, a number of brigades will be reorganized (57th and 58th), and 39th will be reorganized into the 224th Airborne Troops Training Center. Around the airborne assault battalions, they were about to reorganize everything. Vlitku 1990 rub. all major changes have already been made. The brigades have been re-formed, and most of the battalions have been re-formed. As the leaves fell this month, more than 5 battalions were lost.
The hidden picture of the creation can be quilted using the tables below.

Notes:

* Until that moment, it was called the same as the second parachute battalion.

In this manner, on the cob of 1991. The large number of airborne assault units at the Airborne Forces warehouse were represented by eleven surrounding airborne brigades.

Born in 1989 a decision was made to transfer the main part of the helicopters from the Airborne Forces to the Military Forces, thus significantly improving the capabilities of the airborne assault forces. Prote, therefore, in early 1989, an order was issued about the reordering of the Airborne Forces to the command of the Airborne Forces, thereby reducing, thereby, more positively for the Airborne Forces the establishment of the army aviation. Coordination between the airborne assault formations and the commands of the Galnovian bark formations, which reeked of small activities, appeared to be disrupted. The reasons for the transfer of the Airborne Forces to the administrative and operational subordination of the Airborne Forces are not clear. Without a doubt, the similarity between what was included and what was supplied does not explain everything. It is possible that the reason is to lie (as is often the case) in the military’s food supply. The lack of respect for the command of the Airborne Forces until the development of the doctrine of the stagnation of helicopter landings in the early and middle stages (60-80s) resulted in the “too late” to the “competitor”; Moreover, the successes of the “helicopter-landing” doctrine were obvious, both for us and for NATO. In principle, the logical (and theoretically correct) decision to concentrate all the airborne forces under one administrative command was unduly added to their operational capabilities. The command incorrectly assessed the availability of DShV in the helicopter security, which was very similar to the security of the airborne forces of the VTA pilots and did not show respect for the obligatory symbiosis of forces of the landing force with helicopters, without any effectiveness of the landing force. Falls rapidly.

In this article, the author tried to summarize his knowledge of the airborne assault units of the Radyan Army and, briefly formulated, presented them for a behind-the-scenes look at it. Let me point out immediately that this investigation is not residual. First of all, this is due to the fact that there is still no official open (but not secret) publication on the history of the DShV, its combat warehouse, not to mention their organizational and staffing structures. and, methods of combat stagnation, etc. Everything you read here has been compiled naturally from scratch, without any special elements - most importantly, the robot is based on the training of DShV veterans, people who interacted with them in the line of service, as well as low official documents c.
To that, I ask you to judge me harshly, but with justice, “...although in this book my rudeness is written down, but it is written in goodness, I bless you: do not despise my damnation, do not curse, or correct me, for what I wrote is not an angel of God, but a human sin.” and completely unknown..."

The author expresses his great gratitude to everyone who helped me by exercising his memory and spending an hour on the subject.
The author will always be able to express his thoughts about the article, even if there are inaccuracies, incorrectness, etc., but we can confirm the author’s analysis (which cannot be avoided).

ABOUT THE SUBSTANCE OF THE REVIEW LANDINGS

The moment of the emergence of the idea of airborne landings, like the seizure of military formations from the enemy forces, has never been seen. However, for a long time, a strictly fantastic character, and even during the rocks of the First World War, could create some kind of material basis for the appearance of the created military transport vehicle - the airplane pilot. And since initially, the idea was of a sabotage-reconnaissance nature, then, inevitably, in connection with the rapid development of aviation during the war, the creation of reliable and local fast-moving ships began to emerge Large-scale seemingly logical led to Mitchell's idea of landing German troops the beginning of the division, and then the entire “airborne” army. However, we can only guess whether this project would have been implemented, or whether there would have been a war on another river or not. Each time, after the end of the war, this idea, although it did not lose serious material influence, continued to float in the wind of turbulent minds. "Positional nightmare" of the closing front is respected by everyone, and many who have a passion for innovation, military theorists (or respect themselves as such) carefully searched for innovative ways to avoid such the situation is far away.

In this way, for the Airborne Forces (Airborne Forces), a headache immediately appeared, the initial meta - the unification of the groupings of ground forces, which is now coming. The entire history of the stagnation of airborne landings (VD) confirms this thesis*.

* There is a special position for occupying airborne forces on the islands. As a rule, they are carried out as part of a naval landing or as part of various scale combat operations at sea. So the role of the Ground Forces in this situation is played by the Navy.
The absolute culprit is the scandalous Cretan VD Operation (VDO), which has no small connection with the actions of neither ground nor naval forces; Such a rank of self-independent character is small. However, since connection with the Ground Forces was not possible for a number of reasonable and objective reasons, there was a weak connection with the navy.
Within the framework of such a goal, the Airborne Forces were faced with a task that lay, say, at the buried plot of locality (meaning - for the line of dots of sides) from the beginning of this morning for the next hour (for example - until the approach of ground forces, what to attack).

A specific combat task means the methods and methods of action of the Airborne Forces that are used in landing (Vikidans, Visadians), attacks (attacks, assaults) and defense.

This is to bring to the outer meaning of combat capabilities of VD molding, which is related to:

at the possibility of wanting a singing territory (a place of locality, an object), zokrema. attack and destroy (kill) the enemy, whatever is there;
it is possible to organize the active defense of the buried territory (object) for the next period;
Prote, everything is the same - with the clarity of the mind, the possibility will be spread to the winds.

I needed such a wide entry in order for the reader (perhaps a completely third-party reader, but not to waste food) to immediately grasp the essence of the combat stagnation of the airborne landings.

Now, brutally, to the power of those statistics.

BACKGROUND

The appearance of the DShV is strictly connected with the appearance of helicopters, or more precisely, with the creation of government officials, which creates a necessary complex. This is how it was in military history, when technological progress introduced new types of armed forces into the battle arena. However, there was another forerunner that lies in the peculiarities of the forms of combat stagnation of airborne forces, which was expressed in their stagnation as a warehouse operation on an operational-tactical scale.

In third, the command simply did not respect the need to stagnate them - that is. It was important that it was better to use ground-based methods that were practiced and trusted.

...In kin. In the 1940s, unknown to everyone, helicopters simply appeared on the stage - a new class of lethal vehicles. Helicopters (which reach a level of technical excellence sufficient for combat) have successfully proven themselves in the Incheon Naval Landing Operation (AMO) and in further operations of the American military. ysk in Korea. Ukrainian designers imagine building a car in the distance - the Mi-4 - which began in 1953. Join the military en masse.
Already in 1954, the first great experimental landing was carried out with 36 helicopters armed with cars and artillery. It was also carried out with little evidence to begin with (including with the real stagnation of the nuclear armor) from the landing of helicopter landings on the enemy's front at the battalion and regimental scale... The protest stalled out. In this case, the current organization of special moldings was not accepted.
The reasons for this concern are:

According to Pershe, The negative role of the Khrushchev-missile factor.

Well, let’s figure it out, five, We rely on the power of tank armored fists for the Radian military leaders of uncatchable, powerful and weakly protected flying cuttlefish with a propeller on the top (with hundreds of “jet fluids” and fast licked aerodynamics ki!) did not seem to be like this, if it could have been done.

TRIAL CROC

Among the capitalists

Zagalom had a similar situation with the VDO theory and among the Americans. A beautiful illustration can be found in the phrase of the American Airborne Forces General James Gavin from his book “Airborne War”: “...<воздушно-десантные>The military forces are vikorist in large numbers, and not in separate groups. And especially there, where their actions can be pushed in, and not in rich points, where they can achieve local tactical successes. That is, on the Korean Peninsula, forcing the American command to think and do more. Hertolit has shown himself to achieve a promising way of transporting in the minds of the Georgian-foliage locality and the presence of roads. So there were only 56 ods per cob. The American command has created and confirmed the formation of the 11th Air Assault Division, on its basis and on the basis of two more formations (10th Airborne Transport Brigade and 2nd yhotnaya division) at linya 1965 The 1st Cavalry (Airmobile) Division - Cavalry Division (Airmobile) is created (more precisely, reformed from the original one). koshti with a total number of up to 434 (428 according to other data) od. The division was transferred to Vietnam at the end of the same month. And without being surprised by the lack of proper theoretical analysis of airborne (helicopter-landing) operations, without even mentioning the everyday practical activities, it showed itself from the very side. It’s clear that this division is not small in helicopters. All American divisions in Vietnam have a small number of helicopters in their inventory. The same as in the series. 1967 r. bulo bl. 2000 units, then in 1968 their quantity reached 4200 units!

We have

So active and so far away the stagnation of helicopters dealt with the enemy and at the Radyan command. The idea is being revived - in the course of the strategic beginnings of "Dnipro-67" based on the 51st Guards. PDP is forming an experimental formation of the 1st airborne brigade under the command of the military. In the context of combat training, the Airborne Forces Directorate, Major General Kobzar, is working to establish a bridgehead across the Dnieper, as well as a motorized rifle battalion, which is transferred by helicopters equipped with self-propelled projectiles yami. A special working group under the General Staff carries out theoretical research and experiments. І axis, behind the pouches of these works, after the end of 1967. A decision is being made about the formation of completely new military formations for the Radyan Army - the adjacent air assault brigades (ovshbr). Behind the bags of the General Staff directive dated May 22, 1968. In early 1968, the formation of the 11th (ZBVO) and 13th (DVO) brigades began. Up to the middle of the lime tree, the brigades were already formed. (According to other data, the 13th brigade was still formed until the linden-sickle of 1970). In 1973, a third brigade was added to them - 21st in Kutais (ZKVO).

The brigades were formed, apparently, from a “clean slate”. At its staffing, officers and soldiers from the district warehouse were sent, and officers from the Airborne Forces were assigned to the landings of the airborne service (VDS) and to the landings of brigade commanders (for example, to the landing of the commander of the 11th Shbr was assigned to the 51st commander 1st Guards PDP Colonel Reznikov).

Until the end of 1971 All brigades will be reorganized into air assault units with changes in the organizational and staffing structure (OSS).

THE IDEA PAVES A WAY FOR ITSELF

"Omniki"

The 70s rock. behind the thick walls of the General Staff, the Ministry of Defense and the pre-investigative installations, a clearly unshakable discord flared up and a scientific discussion, extremely important for its heritage, was fought between the kilim and the incendiary struggle of thoughts, the development Hunks and ambitions...

Born in 1975, a working group under the supervision of Lieutenant General I. Yurkovsky came up with the idea of creating a new type of operation - the so-called. "Volume operation" is how they reinforced the old concept of "Deep operation". The point was not to “destroy” the enemy’s defenses, but to “redistribute” through them the remaining infection zones and defense nodes - in this way the pace of the advance was sharply increased. The idea was encouraged by some military leaders (Lieutenant General I. Dzhordzhadze and G. Demidkov) but was destroyed. There was a talk about a global change in the entire theory of operations; the creation of a fundamentally new “invaded echelon” from ground forces.

The implementation of such an idea entailed a radical change in the priorities of the military service and, in principle, squeezed the positions of the supporters of the armored armadas that were panicking the military service. However, instead of an objective assessment of the military prospects, instead of a reasonable dialectic of development, they gained a lot of attention and inflexibility, and the “volumeists” were defeated.

Nova hvilya

And yet, the “traditionalists” had a chance to squeeze in a little - it’s necessary that the evidence was presented by the “revolutionists”. In 1978 The new head of the General Staff of the Western Armed Forces of the SRSR, Marshal N.V. Ogarkov, decided to formulate in addition to the already existing three brigades (11th, 13th and 21st) and another number of airborne assault units of two types.
According to Pershe, eight separate air assault brigades of the district (group) subdivision:

Notes:

* Elements of the air groups of these brigades could be dislocated nearby.

** Literally blah. The brigade was initially called the 14th Guards, and only in 1980 it received the 35th number.

*** Formally, the 56th Guards. The brigade was formed in Chirchiku on the basis of the 351st Guards. pdp. However, de facto, the larynx for introduction into Afghanistan was carried out separately in several centers (Chirchik, Kapchagay, Fergana, Yolotan), and brought together before the introduction into Afghanistan at Termez. The brigade headquarters (and officer cadre), as a formal cadre, was initially stationed in Chirchik.

In a different way, twenty six infantry battalions:

Notes:

* Literally a few months after molding, 48 odshb (or, most likely, the 148th) units were poured into the warehouse of the 66th Ovbr (omsbr) in Afghanistan. Well, at the warehouse of the Joint Contingent of the Radyansky Army (OKSV) in Afghanistan there were two brigades of a special organization known "to the people" as the 66th and 70th motorized riflemen (and in fact they are called " Military brigade "- ovbr. ) . Each warehouse had one odshb.

The principle behind the numbering of brigades and regiments is unknown to me.

Distinctions in the numbering of odshb - through three consecutive punishments, after which the stinks were formed. However, my explanation seems insufficient.

Orderliness

Powers between Airborne Forces and DShV

Equipment

For the creation and staffing of the “other army” of the DShCh, the decision to reform the 105th Guards was praised. Airborne Division of the 80th Guards. PDP 104th Airborne Division. For additional staffing, officers and soldiers from military districts and groups of military forces were recruited. Thus, the 36th Guards Brigade was formed on the basis of the 237th Guards. PDP (in buv squadrons) which saw the officer's warehouse and parts of the Leningrad Military District; 38-a Videnska - on the basis of officers to the headquarters of the 105th Guards. Airborne Division, and to recruit officers and soldiers of the military unit of the Belarusian Military District.

In the Airborne Forces of the military districts, most of the officers were from the military districts: for some, more commanders were selected from the Airborne Forces, others from the districts; In one group of troops, they were promoted to the battalion commander and the deputy battalion commander, as well as privately and company commanders. For completing newly created elements, 1979 rub. Military schools train officers for the Airborne Forces, recruitment has increased, and since 1983-84. Already, most officers went to the Airborne Forces having been trained under the Airborne Forces program. They were mainly assigned to the odshbr of the military group, sometimes to the odshbr of the districts, and even less to the odshb. In 1984-85 There was a reshuffling of officers among military groups - perhaps all officers were replaced by the DShV. All this increased the number of airborne officers (plus replacements in Afghanistan). In the future, graduates of military schools and academies received the greatest training from the Airborne Forces. True, it could not do without patronage, but there was no more division into military groups - there was a war in Afghanistan, the Airborne Forces officers went there with another stake, and there was a great deal of time to sort out their servants.

As soon as the military service warehouse was completed, medical supplies and other selection rules for the Airborne Forces were also expanded at the Airborne Forces. The conscript contingent was seen to be the most healthy and physically unapologetic. High-level recruiters (height – no lower than 173 cm; physical development – no lower than average; light – no lower than average, number of medical conditions, etc.) were supposed to achieve high potential during combat training.

Vertoglioti - MAJOR PROBLEM

The domestic DShV has few problems, both internal and external. One of the third-party problems that had the greatest impact on the combat capability of the airborne aircraft was its aviation component, or simply put, helicopters.

The massively formed 1979 DShCH "other hvili" were formed entirely from the ground component - that is. In replacement of their older brothers - the brigades of the "first wave" - the helicopter police were in their warehouse on a daily basis. You can try to explain this situation with decal theses.

According to Pershe, This is the doctrine of stagnation of helicopters. The Radyan military command respected the fact that helicopter regiments were especially important for operational and operational-strategic integration (armies and fronts). And then, it is also organizationally responsible to stay at their warehouse for centralized management of them with concentration, so that they are always in the opposite direction. Theoretically, it is likely that the application of a helicopter force to the skin has led to the proliferation of helicopters beyond the already numerous ones in connection with the ignorant greatness of the SA. Here it was necessary to either liquidate the claims (or not the claims?), or to reduce a significant number of helicopters from them, or to force the production of helicopters in order to saturate the army with them to the maximum.

In a different way, The production of helicopters, as well as any other species, remains under the radar at the moment of doctrine. As has already been said above, the “volumeists” advocated for the rise of part of the ground forces in the world, and therefore, due to the sharp increase in the number of military and transport means required for this purpose, they recognized defeats in the fight against parasites. radiological doctrine. I want the release of helicopters and postage. The 80s were the result of a succession of objective changes of mind, the objective progress of the development of the territorial system, and not a doctrinal stage revolution.

On the third, The very fact of the tactful understanding of the airborne and ground components is likely to be noted by many military officials - both subjectively and entirely grounded. Being constantly at the warehouse of such a mold, the helicopters actually formed from the reserve of the operational commander's reserve, "attaching" up to and including the safe operation of the airborne unit. As it seems to the author of the article, the higher military command incorrectly assessed the availability of airborne assault forces for helicopter security, which is very similar to that of the Airborne Forces. To be in a richly dense and obligatory symbiosis without any effect, the effectiveness of the former decreases. More importantly, operational developments have revealed that nearly 70% of the transport helicopters' resource was transferred to any mission for the airborne forces. And what could have attracted the attention of vikorysts and helicopters, since they do not take the same fate from the DShO/DSH?

Zreshta, in a quarter, As is usually the case, the number of helicopters themselves was insufficient in order for, for example, the Americans, to equip all units with which they could be useful, and also a reserve. However, here, as on me, there is a lot of stupidity. And yourself. Let's take a look at the production of Mi-8 helicopters in the USSR. According to official data from the period from 1962 to 1997. 11,000 units were prepared. Moreover, the absolute majority (up to 90%) is in the period 1966-91. According to the author's explanations, this means that the ZS has delivered at least 5,500 helicopters during this period, except for important transport and transport-combat modifications. There is no official information about the Mi-8 fleet. The authoritative magazine "Military Balance" for 1991 year gives a number of transport and transport-combat modifications of the Mi-8 for 1990/91 year. daily 1000 and 640 units. Let’s not spend in Afghanistan and in disasters they saved 400 units, let’s say 1000 cars were put out of service, which recovered the resource, and then they shared 2500 units? By the way, as it seems, the topic is looking to its successor.

Also, air assault brigades, theoretically, being an ideal unit, with the mid-range (non-linear) nature of combat operations due to the presence of an aviation component in their warehouse, which provides maneuverability, sharply reduced their potential without possiblity, remaining, in essence, with parts of light lust. An important way out of this situation is the creation of special operational-tactical units - air assault corps of a brigade-regimental depot - subordinated to front-line departments. This connection included a ground component (airborne aircraft from the SV or Airborne warehouse) and a helicopter component (from the DIA warehouse). Such a scheme would make it possible to achieve high combat effectiveness and in this case all the responsible departments would be “lost with their sheep.”

I marveled at the butt, as it was transferred to the distribution of the helicopter for the DShV. As is generally accepted over the weekend, a front-line offensive operation is underway for four armies. The warehouse has one transport and combat helicopter regiment (VIDBVP), six combat helicopter regiments (OBVP), as well as one division. air assault brigade (3 battalions) and three types. air assault battalions. In addition, each of the main divisions has one motorized rifle battalion assigned to operations at the TakVS warehouse. An analysis of the possible replacement of the operation and the tasks characteristic of the airborne landings during its course shows that within the framework of the DSD for 10 days, you may need to plant one or more of the TDVD and up to ten TACVD at the warehouse of the odshb and force. they are SMEs.
The average standards for the sighting of transport-landing helicopters are set as follows: TDVD - up to four regimental villiots (p/v) airborne forces *; TakVD at the warehouse odshb - one p/v vidbvp; reinforced SME - one p/v otbvp without squadron (ve). In addition, it is necessary to select combat helicopters for support.
Rozrakhunkovy warehouse: vdbvp - 40 Mi-8T/MT, 20 Mi-6A; obvp – 40 Mi-24V/P and 20 Mi-8T/MT.

* Here it is necessary to show respect to those that the discovery of one of the battalions on armored vehicles sharply increased the necessary number of helicopters for transporting and transporting the important Mi-6A. Transported approx. 60 od. The BTT occupied the left part in the back of the fleet of Mi-6A helicopters and in reality the Mi-6 squadrons needed to develop more villots. Only the mass production of Mi-26 helicopters will be taken on board 2 units. BTT class BMD/BTRD (for Mi-6A less than 1 unit) changed the situation for the better. The author is doubtful about the possibility of transferring all the armored vehicles to the Mi-6A helicopters.

It is necessary to convey that the disembarkation of three flights, without even pretending to be anything, is tantamount to self-destruction. It is necessary to ensure the transfer of no more than two flights (trains). And here it is impossible to do without supplying transport and combat helicopters from the military warehouse for the period of 2018 (in total by 1-2 p/v), so that they may be deprived without the weight of Mi-8T/MT.

The landing time for two flights is usually 12-16 years. With the further preparation of helicopters, only the heifers can be insured through the supply for their repeated operations (in addition, Afghan helicopters worked and significantly more ceremonies, and in addition, rozrahunki worked beyond two in ilyotiv na dobu). Over the course of the designated hour, the air defense forces will be deprived of all Mi-8 forces and will support the military forces without participation. If, along the way, you still need to land one or two TakVS at the warehouse for the battalion, then practically all airborne forces will be lost without transport-landing helicopters. Due to the complexity of the operation and the renewal of the operational efficiency of the equipment, re-landing of the OTTV is practically not practical.
At the time of nine other operations, it is possible to land another eight to nine TakVS at the warehouse of odshb/us.s.sb. Just a quick reminder: up to 30% of the total resource of transport helicopters will be spent on high-level missions, not related to landings. Well, vikorist landing forces can defeat the army directly in a head attack. This was respected by the pleasant norm of the decentralized stagnation of TakVD.
Although not at all. Still, it was possible to obtain for landing DShV as well as transport aircraft of the VTA VPS - mainly An-12. This created additional incompetence. Thus, the BTT had to independently direct itself to such an exit landing area, so that the airfields would ensure the landing of the aircraft and the landing forces on board.

Yakiness

The main problem was the suitability of commercial helicopters of the Mi-8 and Mi-6 families for airborne assault operations and, more broadly, for airborne landings. In the future, this article will be dedicated to this article.

The airborne troops have been restored. History of the Russian landing Alokhin Roman Viktorovich

STORM TROOPERS

In the mid-60s, through the active development of helicopters (with their exciting ability to land and fly practically in any place), the idea of creating special military aircraft arose, completely prehistorically iv, which could be landed by helicopters into the enemy’s tactical zone in order to harmonize the ground forces. During the administration of the Airborne Forces, new units were forced to land only by landing, and during the administration of the SPN GRU, they were forced to carry out operations with great forces, including from the stagnation of armored vehicles and other important ozbroєnnya.

To confirm (or clarify) the theoretical concepts, it was necessary to carry out large-scale practical experiments, as if everything would be put in place.

In 1967, under the hour of the strategic beginnings of “Dnipro-67” on the basis of the 51st Guards Infantry Division, the experimental 1st Air Assault Brigade was formed. The head of the combat training department of the Airborne Forces Directorate, Major General Kobzar, was the head of the brigade. The brigade was deployed by helicopter to the bridgehead on the Dnieper and placed at the viconal headquarters. As a result, the formation of the first air assault brigades in the Far East and Transbaikal military districts began in 1968 at the ground forces depot.

In response to the directive of the General Staff from May 22, 1968 to September 1970, the 13th brigade was formed in the settlements of Mykolayivna and Zavitinskaya Amur region, and the 11th air assault brigade was formed in the village of Mogocha, Chita region. .

I repeat, as in the first airborne unit (the airborne unit of the Leningrad military district), the “land” unit took away from its subordinate aviation - the control of the brigades was transferred to two helicopters regiments with an aviation base, which included an airfield security battalion and a division connection and radio engineering security.

The structure of the air assault brigades of the first formation was as follows:

Management of the brigade;

Three air assault battalions;

Artillery division;

Anti-aircraft artillery division;

Combat helicopter regiment with an aviation base;

Transport helicopter regiment from an aviation base;

Til brigade.

Air-assault birds, landing on helicopters, were hanging out in front of the landing force in any area of the operational-tactical theater of military operations and were deciding on the task of self-propulsion for the fire. models of combat helicopters. With these brigades, further research was carried out to develop the tactics for eliminating airborne assault forces. Based on the findings, the General Staff made recommendations to thoroughly improve the organizational and staffing structure of such units.

It was reported that the air assault brigades would remain in the tactical balance of the enemy’s defense. The range at which the battalions of the air assault brigades were deployed did not exceed 70-100 km. Zokrema, as a confirmation, is to verify the range of the robots of the connections that were found on the armored air assault units. However, if we look at the specific theater of military operations, in the area in which the brigades were stationed, we can assume that the purpose of the 11th and 13th Brigades was to quickly close the area of the cordon with China, which is weakly defended, since the Chinese military invasion. On helicopters, the brigades could have landed in any place, so the motorized rifle regiments of the 67th motorized rifle division, which were located in that area (from Mogochi to Magdagachi), could transfer only on their own, along a single road, which was quite enough. However, after helicopter police were assigned to the brigade warehouse (like the 1980s), the assignment of the brigades did not change, and the helicopter police were always stationed in close proximity.

At the beginning of the 70s, a new name for the brigades was adopted. Now the stench began to be called “airborne assault.”

On November 5, 1972, by directive to the General Staff, and on November 16, 1972, by order of the commander of the Transcaucasian military district, until December 19, 1973, it was decided to form an airborne assault brigade on the Caucasian operational front. The 21st airborne assault brigade was formed near the town of Kutais.

Thus, until the mid-70s, there were three brigades at the warehouse of the so-called Airborne Forces of the ground forces:

11th airborne brigade (military unit 21460), ZabVO (n.p. Mogocha, Chita region), at the warehouse: 617th, 618th, 619th airborne brigade, 329th and 307th airborne brigade;

13th airborne brigade (military unit 21463), Far Eastern Military District (n. Magdagachi, Amur region), at the warehouse: 620th, 621st (Amazar), 622nd airborne battalion, 825th and 398th airborne brigade ;

21st separate brigade (military unit 31571), ZakVO (m. Kutaisi, Georgia), at the warehouse: 802nd (military unit 36685, Tsulukidze), 803rd (military unit 55055), 804th (in /h 57351) odshb, 1059th oadn, 325th and 292nd ovp, 1863rd one SIRTO, 303rd obo.

Let us take into account the fact that the battalions in these semi-regiments were in small parts, just as in the Airborne Forces the regiment was in small parts. From the moment of their formation until 1983, parachute training was not transferred to these brigades and was not included in the combat training plans, due to which a special warehouse of air assault brigades wore the uniform of motorized rifle troops with special insignia. The shape of the Airborne Airborne Assault Units emerged as a result of the introduction of combat training for parachute fighters.

In 1973, the divisions of the air assault brigades included:

Management (staff 326 employees);

Three separate airborne assault battalions (each with 349 individual battalions);

Okremy artillery division (171 personnel on staff);

Aviation group (employing a total of 805 people);

Around the division of communications and radio-technical security (staffing 190 people);

Regional airfield technical security battalion (410 special forces staff).

The new union began an active battle. There were some accidents and catastrophes. In 1976, at the hour of great beginnings, the 21st Brigade suffered a tragedy: two Mi-8 helicopters hit the wind and fell to the ground. As a result of the disaster, 36 people died. Similar tragedies occurred hour after hour in all brigades - perhaps there was that terrible debt that was required to pay for water with such high-mobile military units.

Evidence that the accumulation of new brigades turned out to be positive, and by the end of the 70s, the General Staff praises the decision to form a few more air assault brigades of the front (district) subdivision, as well as a few surrounding air assault battles they are in the army order. A large number of newly created units were assembled, for their staffing the General Staff of the Forces was formed to form one airborne division.

On the basis of directives to the General Staff from April 3, 1979 No. 314/3/00746 to April 1, 1979, the 105th Guards Airborne Videnska Chervonoprapornaya Division (111th, 345th, 351st, 383rd Guards, dislocated near Fergana Uzbetskaya RSR, was remolded. 345 regiment of remolding into a separate parachute regiment and surpluses for the current operational line. A special warehouse for reformed regiments and other parts for molding airborne assault units and ednan.

On the basis of the 111th Guards Infantry Division near the town of Osh, the Kyrgyz RSR, the 14th Guards Division of the Western Group was formed with redeployment to the town of Cottbus of the German Democratic Republic. In early 1979, the brigade was renamed the 35th Guards Brigade. From 1979 to the fall of leaves in 1982, the special warehouse of the brigade wore the uniform of motorized rifle troops. In 1982, the brigade was awarded the Boyovy Prapor. Until then, the small brigade of Boyovy Prapor of the 111th Guards Infantry Division.

On the basis of the 351st Guards PDP, the 56th Guards Division of TurkVO was formed with a deployment in the village of Azadbash (Chirchik area) of the Uzbek RSR. On the basis of the officer depot of the 105th Guards Airborne Division, the 38th Guards Videnska Chervonoprapornaya Airborne Assault Brigade was formed in the Belarusian military district in the town of Brest. The brigade was transferred to the Battle Ensign of the reorganized 105th Guards Videnska Chervonopraporny Airborne Division.

On the basis of the 383rd Guards Division near the village of Aktogay, Taldi-Kurgan region of the Kazakh Russian Socialist Republic, the 57th airborne assault brigade was formed for the Central Asian military district, and for the Kiev military district in Kremenchutsi there was formed molded 58-a near the framed part).

For the Leningrad Military District in the village of Garbolov, Vsevolozhsk District, Leningrad Region, with the participation of the special warehouse of the 234th and 237th Guards Parachute Regiments of the 76th Guards Airborne Regiment division, the 36th Airborne District was formed near the town of Chernyakhivsk, Kaliningrad region The 37th airborne assault brigade was formed.

On September 3, 1979, the 80th Parachute Airborne Regiment of the Order of the Chervona Zirka of the 104th Guards Airborne Division near Baku was reorganized. A special warehouse, which was formed, was started for the formation of new brigades - near the town of Khiriv, Staro-Sambirsk district of the Lviv region for the Carpathian military district, the 39th branch of the Order of the Red Star of airborne assaults was formed brigade, and in the town of Mykolayiv for the Odessa military district was formed 40th air assault brigade.

In this way, in 1979, nine separate air assault brigades were formed, which were assigned to the western and Asian military districts. Until 1980, twelve air assault brigades were in charge of the ground forces:

11th airborne brigade (military unit 32364), ZabVO, Mogocha;

13th airborne brigade (military unit 21463), Far Eastern Military District, Magdagachi, Amazar;

21st Airborne Brigade (military unit 31571), ZakVO, Kutaisi;

35-a airborne brigade (military unit 16407), DSVG, Cottbus;

36th airborne brigade (military unit 74980), Leningrad Military District, Garbolovo;

37th airborne brigade (military unit 75193), PribVO, Chernyakhivsk;

38-a airborne brigade (military unit 92616), BelVO, Brest;

39th airborne brigade (military unit 32351), Prikvo, Khirov;

40-a odshbr (military unit 32461), OdVO, Mykolayiv;

56th airborne brigade (military unit 74507), TurkVO, Azadbash, Chirchik;

57-a airborne brigade (military unit 92618), SAVO, Aktogay, Kazakhstan;

58-a odshbr cadre KVO, Kremenchuk.

The new brigades were formed as lightweights, 3-battalion warehouses, without helicopter regiments. Now there are primary “infantry” units, like their own aircraft. In fact, there were tactical units, so until now the three first brigades (11th, 13th and 21st airborne brigades) were tactical units. From the beginning of the 80s, the battalions of the 11th, 13th and 21st brigades ceased to be united and lost their numbers - the brigades of these brigades became units. These helicopter regiments were lost from the subordinate brigades until 1988, after which the management of the brigades was separated from the subordinated districts.

The structure of the new brigades was as follows:

Management (headquarters) of the brigade;

Two parachute battalions;

One air assault battalion;

Howitzer artillery division;

Anti-tank battery;

Anti-aircraft artillery battery;

Company team;

Airborne reconnaissance company;

RKhBZ company;

Engineer-sapper company;

Company of material security;

Medical company;

Airborne security company.

The number of people in the special warehouse of the brigades was close to 2800 people.

Beginning in 1982–1983, air assault brigades began airborne training, which resulted in some organizational changes in the formation structure.

The brigades in the early 1979s were formed around the airborne assault battalions, which are small activities in the army and tactical tasks near the enemy's side. In the 80s, additional formation of many more battalions took place. In total, twenty such battalions were formed, the final transfer of which has not yet been revealed to me - there were a handful of squadroned battalions, the numbers of which are not visible at the press. Until the mid-80s, the Ukrainian and tank armies of the Armed Forces of the USSR were small in their warehouse:

899th separate battalion (military unit 61139), 20th Guards OA, DSVG, Burg;

900th separate battalion (military unit 60370), 8th Guards OA, DSVG, Leipzig;

901st airborne battalion (military unit 49138), TsGV, Riečki, then PribVO, Aluksne;

1605th separate battalion of the 5th OA, Far Eastern Military District, Spask-Dalekiy;

1609th separate battalion, 39th OA, ZabVO, Kyakhta.

Also in 1982, their own airborne assault battalions were created by the Marine Corps of the USSR Navy. Zokrema, in the Pacific Fleet there is such a battalion of creatures based on the 1st Marine Battalion, 165th Marine Regiment, 55th Division. Then similar battalions were created in other regiments of the division and adjacent brigades in other fleets. These airborne assault battalions of the Marine Corps underwent airborne landing training and completed their parachute landing strips. That’s why I inserted them into this conversation. The airborne assault battalions, which belong to the 55th Division, are not small in number and were named according to their specific numbering within their regiment. Battalions in brigades, as well as units, lost their names:

876th airborne battalion (military unit 81285) 61st infantry regiment, UV, Suputnik village;

879th airborne battalion (military unit 81280) 336th guards infantry regiment, Baltic Fleet, Baltiysk;

881st airborne infantry battalion, 810th brigade infantry regiment, PF, Sevastopol;

1st infantry battalion, 165th infantry infantry regiment, 55th airborne infantry regiment, Pacific Fleet, Vladivostok;

1st infantry battalion, 390th infantry fighting infantry regiment, 55th airborne infantry regiment, Pacific Fleet, Slovyanka.

Coming from the armored warehouse, the airborne assault battalions were divided into “light” ones, such as small armored vehicles, and “important” ones, such as small ones armed with up to 30 combat vehicles for the infantry and landing forces. The two types of battalions are also small and equipped with 6 mortars of 120 mm caliber, six AGS-17s and a number of ATGMs.

The brigades have at their warehouse three parachute battalions on infantry fighting vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles or GAZ-66 vehicles, an artillery division (18 D-30 howitzers), an anti-tank battery, an anti-aircraft missile battery, a mortar battery ( there is a 120 mm min) company, a team company, a sapper company, an airborne security company, a chemical defense company, a material security company, a repair company, an automobile company and a medical station. The brigade's parachute battalion consists of three parachute companies, a mortar battery (4–6 82-mm mortars), a grenade launcher platoon (6 AGS-17 grenade launchers), a team platoon, an anti-tank platoon (4 SPG-9) and the platoon is safe.

During the hour of airborne training, the parachute service of the airborne assault battalions and brigades was certified with documents of the Airborne Forces PDS.

In addition to the brigades and battalions, the General Staff tried a different organization of airborne assault squadrons. Until the mid-80s, the USSR formed two army corps of the new organization. These corps were created using the method of their evaporation during the expansion of the operational breach (to break through). The new corps had a small brigade structure and consisted of mechanized and tank brigades, and in addition, the airborne assault police of the two-battalion warehouse increased to the corps warehouse. The police of Mala became an instrument of “vertical suppression”, and in the corps they fought closely with the helicopter regiment.

In the Belarusian military district, on the basis of the 120th Guards Motorized Infantry Division, the 5th Guards Military District was formed in Kyakht and on the basis of the 5th Guards Tank Division the 48th Guards Galalian Army was formed.

The 5th Guards AK took the 1318th Airborne Regiment (military unit 33508) and the 276th Helicopter Regiment to its warehouse, and the 48th Guards AK took the 1319th Airborne Regiment (military unit) to its warehouse 33518) and the 373rd helicopter regiment. However, these parts did not wake up for long. Already in 1989, the Guards Army Corps were again burned at the division, and the airborne assault regiments were reorganized.

In 1986, in connection with the Headquarters Headquarters of the direct commands, another round of formation of airborne assault brigades took place. In addition, to the fullest extent, four more brigades were formed - in a number of straight lines. In this manner, the following was formed at the operational directives subordinated to the reserve until the end of 1986:

23rd airborne brigade (military unit 51170), Civil Command Pivdenno-Zakhidny direct, Kremenchuk;

83rd Airborne Brigade (military unit 54009), Civil Command Zahidnogo direct, Bialogard;

128-a one frame to the personnel of the Pivdenny Civil Code directly, Stavropol;

130-a one frame (military unit 79715), Dalekoshidny Civil Command directly, Abakan.

In total, in the Western Western SSR until the end of the 1980s, there were sixteen air assault brigades, of which three (58th, 128th and 130th airborne brigades) were managed with a shortened staff or personnel. In case of any emergency, there were many additions to the Airborne Forces and semi-special functions of the GRU. No one in the world has such a number of airborne troops.

In 1986, large-scale airborne assault operations were carried out on the Dalekom Skhod, which involved the special warehouse of the 13th Airborne Assault Brigade. Serpna has an air assault battalion on 32 Mi-8 and Mi-6 helicopters using methods to strengthen landings at the Burevisnik airfield on the Iturup island of the Kuril ridge. There, the brigade's reconnaissance company also made a parachute landing from the An-12 pilots. The visages were expanded throughout the visualization of their assignments. Those who came from Kuril to the SRSR warehouse could sleep peacefully.

In 1989, the General Staff decided to reorganize outside the airborne assault battalions of the Zagalnovsky and tank armies, and outside the airborne assault brigades of the district suborder to reform within the airborne forces. And the brigade is transferred from the subordination to the commander of the Airborne Forces.

Until the end of 1991, all around the airborne assault battalions (behind the 901st Airborne Battalion) were reorganized.

During this period, in connection with the collapse of the USSR, strong changes occurred in all airborne assault forces. Some of the brigades were transferred to the Protective Forces of Ukraine and Kazakhstan, and some were simply reorganized.

The 39th Airborne Brigade (at that time already named the 224th Airborne Forces Command Center), the 58th Airborne Brigade and the 40th Airborne Brigade were transferred to Ukraine, the 35th Airborne Brigade was withdrawn from Nimechchyn to Kazakhstan, where it went to the warehouse of the republic's armored forces iki . The 38th brigade was transferred to Belarus.

The 83rd brigade was withdrawn from Poland and transferred across the entire country to a new point of permanent deployment - the town of Ussuriysk, Primorsky Krai. With this, the 13th brigade, which was part of the warehouse of the Dalekoshidny military district, was transferred to Orenburg - again across the entire country, only in the same direct way (purely economical food - is that the way?).

The 21st brigade was transferred to Stavropol, and the 128th brigade, which was there, was reorganized. The 57th and 130th brigades were also remolded.

Jumping ahead a little, I will say that during the “Russian hour” until the end of 1994, the following parts were important at the warehouse of the Russian Armed Forces:

11th Infantry Brigade of the Transbaikal Military District (Ulan-Ude);

13th Infantry Brigade of the Ural Military District (Orenburg);

21st Infantry Brigade of the Pivnichno-Caucasian Military District (Stavropol);

36th Infantry Brigade of the Leningrad Military District (Garbolovo);

37th Regiment of the Pivnichno-Zakhidny Grouped Army (Chernyakhivsk);

The first paratroopers since 1929 have become parachutes due to the intensive efforts of pilots and sailors. It was necessary to organize a parachute service in the region, recruit paratroopers, and build the wall of the dead into a seam dome. One of the first to spread this work in our country

SA. Were the stormtroopers good people? Well, what should I tell you, my friend? There are contrasts in life: There are so many girls together, And with you we are homosexuals. Suvora really lives with Josip Raskin’s account - Comrade commander, he showed up at our company

Airborne Forces (Airborne Forces) - a range of troops intended for combat operations against the enemy. Order to enter the warehouse of the ground forces, and at least - to the warehouse of the military-insurgent forces (fleet), or you can be an independent force at the warehouse of the armored forces.

Intended for landing from behind the scenes in enemy lines or for rapid assault in geographically remote areas. The main method of delivery of airborne forces is parachute landing, which can also be delivered by helicopter; during the Other World War, delivery by gliders was practiced.

For example, in 1930, near Leningrad, a Radyansky airborne unit was created - an airborne paratroop unit. Born in 1932 It was raised to the 3rd Special Purpose Aviation Brigade since 1938. became known as the 201st Airborne Brigade.

The first military landing in the history of military affairs began in the spring of 1929. In the town of Garm, which was surrounded by Basmachi, a group of reinforced Red Army soldiers was sent out from the wind, who, with the support of the town residents, defeated a gang that had invaded the territory of Tajikistan from behind the cordon. However, on Airborne Forces Day in Russia and other countries there are 2 sickles, in honor of the parachute landing on the military operation of the Moscow military district near Voronezh, 2 sickles in 1930.

In 1931, on the basis of the directive of the 18th century, an emergency was formed in the 1st air brigade of the Leningrad military district, after testing the aviation motorized landing force (airborne landing force). Intended for the purpose of monitoring the supply of operational-tactical deployment and the most prominent organizational forms of airborne landing (airborne) units, parts and units. Zagin having 164 individuals of special stock and consisting of:

one rifle company;
several platoons: sapper, a team of light vehicles;
important bomber aircraft squadron (air squadrons) (12 aircraft - TB-1);
one hull aviation corral (aviazagon) (10 aircraft - R-5).

Registration of mav on the selected ones:

two 76-mm dynamoreactive Kurchevsky harmonics (DRP);
two wedges - T-27;
4 grenade launchers;
3 light armored vehicles (armored vehicles);
14 manual and 4 easel guns;
10 private and 16 passenger cars;
4 motorcycles and one scooter (perhaps a bicycle).

The commander of the pen was assigned to Є. D. Lukin. Then the same air brigade formed a routine parachute-landing mission.

In 1932, the Revolutionary Party of the USSR adopted a decree about the dismantling of pens in aviation battalions of special significance (BOSNAZ). By the end of 1933, there were already 29 airborne battalions and brigades that had reached the UPS warehouse. The Leningrad Military District was tasked with training airborne instructors and developing operational-tactical standards. Behind the scenes at that time, airborne units were an effective means of disrupting enemy command and control. They were at fault there, where other military branches (infantry, artillery, cinema, armored forces) could not immediately remain in the task, and were assigned to higher commands in mutual relations with each other. with the troops that were advancing from the front, the airborne landings were to be taken seriously and defeating the enemy directly.

The front-line history saw a lot of effort and progress in the development of airborne troops, the development of the theory of combat combat and practical preparation. In 1934, 600 paratroopers were recruited for the Red Army. In 1935, during the maneuvers of the Kiev Military District, 1,188 paratroopers were parachuted and a landing force landed at a warehouse of 2,500 personnel with combat equipment. In 1936, 3000 parachutists were landed in the Belarusian military district, 8200 troops were landed using artillery and other combat equipment. Requests from foreign military delegations, who were present at these events, were impressed by the size of the landings and the mastery of the landing.

31. Parachute units, as a new breed of lost lust, and especially disorganization of the enemy’s command and control. The stench of vikorists is with the nastiest commanders.

In the interaction with the troops that are advancing from the front, the spirit of the infantry fuels the urgency of defeating the enemy directly.

The rise of windy lust may be strictly suited to the environment and will require reliable security and continued access to secrecy and raptness.

Another section "Organization of the Red Army" 1. The origins of the military and their combat stagnation, Polish Statute of the Red Army (PU-39)

The paratroopers were in anticipation of real battles. In 1939, the 212th Airborne Brigade took part in the defeat of the Japanese at Khalkhin Gol. For displaying courage and heroism, 352 paratroopers were awarded orders and medals. In 1939-1940, during the Finnish-Finnish War, the 201st, 202nd and 214th airborne brigades fought together with rifle units.

On the basis of the 1940 revolution, new brigade staffs were established at the warehouse of three combat groups: parachute, glider and landing.

In the hour of preparation for the operation from the annexation of Bessarabia to the USSR, occupied by Romania, as well as Pivnichna Bukovina, the command of the Red Army included 201, 204 and 214 airborne troops to the warehouse of the Pivden Front no brigades. During the operation, the combat forces captured the 204th and 201st ADBR and launched the landing forces into the area of Bolgrad and Izmail, and after closing the cordon for the organization of government authorities in the population centers.

At the beginning of 1941, on the basis of the airborne brigades, there were armed airborne corps numbering over 10 thousand people. 4th spring 1941 r. By order of the People's Commissar, the Directorate of the Airborne Forces was reorganized into the Directorate of the Commander of the Airborne Forces of the Red Army, and the united units of the Airborne Forces were removed from the order of command of the active fronts and transferred to the middle order. Commander of the Airborne Forces. Apparently, before this order, the formation of ten airborne corps, five maneuver airborne brigades, five reserve airborne regiments and an airborne school (m. Kuybishev) was formed. At the beginning of the Great German War, the Airborne Forces became an independent rank of forces (military) of the UPS RSCHA.

At the counterattack near Moscow, the minds of a wide stagnation of the Airborne Forces were created. Collection 1942 r. The Vyazemsky airborne operation was carried out with the participation of the 4th airborne corps. At the spring of 1943 A new landing force was stationed at the warehouse of two brigades to harmonize the troops of the Voronezh Front at the forked Dnieper River. The Manchurian strategic operation at the scythe 1945 r. 4 thousand people were dispatched for landing operations by the landing method in a special warehouse of riflemen, which successfully completed the task.

U zhovtni born 1944 The Airborne Forces were transformed into the surrounding Guards Airborne Army, which became a long-range aviation warehouse. Breast born 1944 This army was reorganized, the Airborne Forces control was created under the orders of the commander of the Airborne Forces. The Airborne Forces depot lost three airborne brigades, the initial airborne regiment, an advanced training course for officers and an airborne division.

In 1946 it was transferred to the warehouse of the ground forces of the Armed Forces of the SRSR, which were directly subordinated to the Minister of Defense of the SRSR, being a reserve of the Supreme Commander.

Born in 1956 two airborne divisions took part in the Ugric campaigns. Born in 1968 After the burial of two airfields near Prague and Bratislava, the 7th and 103rd Guards Airborne Divisions were dispatched, which ensured the successful conquest of the united forces and units of the United Armed Forces One of the forces of the country is a participant in the Warsaw Pact Organization under the hour of the Czech Republic.

Paratroopers near the vantage cockpit of the An-12.

In the post-war period, the Airborne Forces developed a great work to increase the firepower and flexibility of the special warehouse. Numerous armored vehicles were created for airborne landings (BMD, BTR-D), automotive vehicles (TPK, GAZ-66), artillery systems (ASU-57, ASU-85, 2S9 “Nona”, 107-mm armorless armored vehicle B -11 ). Collapsible parachute systems were developed for the landing of all types of equipment - “Centaur”, “Reaktavr” and others. The fleet of military transport aircraft was also increased, calling for the massive transfer of airborne units during large-scale combat operations. Large-body transport aircraft were created to carry out parachute landings of military equipment (An-12, An-22, Il-76).

The USSR first developed airborne troops, including small armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery. In the great military endeavors (for example, “Shield-82” or “Friendship-82”), the practice was to land a special warehouse with standard equipment numbering no more than two parachute regiments. The military transport aviation station of the Western Soviet Socialist Republic at the end of the 80s allowed the production by parachute method of 75% of the special warehouse and standard combat equipment of one airborne division in one field day. ilit.

Organizational and personnel structure of the 105th Guards Airborne Division, as of 1979.

Until the fall of 1979 The 105th Guards Videnska Chervonoprapornaya airborne division was reorganized, specialized for conducting combat operations in the desert area. Parts of the 105th Guards. The Airborne Division was stationed near the towns of Fergana, Namangan and Chirchik of the Uzbek Republic Republic and near the city of Osh in the Kyrgyz Republic. Through the war, the 105th Guards was re-formed. The Airborne Forces formed three separate air assault brigades (35th, 38th and 56th) and the 345th Guards Parachute Regiment.

After the remolding of the 105th Guards. VDD in 1979 the introduction of the Radyan troops to Afghanistan showed the profound lenience of the decision adopted by the military forces of the Western Soviet Socialist Republic - an airborne unit, specially adapted for conducting combat operations in the desert-desert locality of the region. thought and hastily was re-formed, and to Afghanistan in the end pouch of the 103rd Guards. Airborne Forces, a special warehouse that is not necessary for preparation for conducting combat operations in a similar theater of combat operations:

“... In 1986, the Commander of the Airborne Forces, General of the Army D.F. Sukhorukov, arrived, saying that we were fools, having formed the 105th Airborne Division, even if it was assigned to conduct combat operations in Girnicho-Pus bodily locality. And we were worried about spending huge sums of money for delivery to Kabul across the air to the 103rd Airborne Division..."

In the mid-80s. at the warehouse of the airborne troops of the Western SSR SRSR there were 7 airborne divisions and three surrounding regiments with the offensive names and places of deployment:

Organizational and staffing structure of the 351st Guards Parachute Regiment, 105th Guards Airborne Division in 1979.

7th Guards Chervonopraporna Order of Kutuzov II level airborne division. Stationed near Kaunas, Lithuanian RSR, Baltic Military District.
76th Guards Chervonoprapornaya Order of Kutuzov, 2nd stage Chernihiv Airborne Division. She was stationed in the city of Pskov, Russian Russian Federal Socialist Republic, Leningrad Military District.
98th Guards Chervonoprapornaya Order of Kutuzov II stage Svirsky Airborne Division. It was stationed near the city of Bolgrad, Ukrainian RSR, KODVO, and near the city of Chisinau, Moldavian RSR, KODVO.
103rd Guards Chervonoprapornaya Order of Lenin Order of Kutuzov 2nd stage airborne division named after the 60th SRSR. It was stationed near Kabul (Afghanistan) near the OKSVA warehouse. Until 1979, and after 1989, it was stationed near Vitebsk Belarusian RSR, Belarusian Military District.
104th Guards Chervonopraporna Order of Kutuzov II stage airborne division, specialized for conducting combat operations in the Georgian locality. Stationed near Kirovabad, Azerbaijan RSR, Transcaucasian Military District.
106th Guards Chervonopraporna Order of Kutuzov, 2nd stage airborne division. Dislocated near Tula and the river. Ryazan RRFSR, Moscow Military District.
44th primary Chervonopraporna of the Order of Suvorov, 2nd stage and Bogdan Khmelnytsky, 2nd stage of the Ovrutsk Airborne Division. Dislocated near the villages. Gaizhunai Lithuanian RSR, Baltic Military District.
345th Guards Vidensky Chervonopraporny Order of Suvorov III degree parachute regiment named after the 70th Lenin Komsomol. Dislocated near Bagram metro station (Afghanistan) near the OKSVA warehouse. Until 1979, it was stationed near the city of Fergana, Uzbek RSR, after 1989 - near the city of Kirovabad, Azerbaijan RSR, Transcaucasia VO.
387th Commandant of the Parachute Regiment. Until 1982, entering the warehouse of the 104th Guards. VDD. At the 80th headquarters of the 387th initial ODDP, young reinforcements were being trained for deployment to the airborne and airborne assault units at the OKSVA warehouse. In cinematography, in the film “9 Company”, under the initial part there is a respect for 387 OUPDP itself. Dislocated near Fergana metro station, Uzbek Russian Socialist Republic, Turkestan Military District.
196th Regiment of the Airborne Forces. Dislocated near the villages. Vedmezhi Lakes, Moscow Region, RRFSR.

Each of the designated divisions is small in its composition: a directorate (headquarters), three parachute regiments, one artillery self-propelled regiment and a branch of combat security and fuel security.

In addition to the parachute airborne units, the airborne troops also had airborne assault units, and they were subordinated to the commanders of the military districts (military groups), the army and the corps iv. The stinks were not affected by anything except the order, orderliness and ZShS. The methods of combat training, the combat training program in a special warehouse, the production and uniform of military servicemen were the same as the parachute airborne units and the formation of the Airborne Forces (central suborder). The air assault formation is represented by several air assault brigades (ADSB), several air assault police (ADSP) and several air assault battalions (ADSB).

The development of airborne assault formations was driven by the developments of the 1960s, which served as a rethink of tactical techniques for fighting the enemy in the event of a full-scale war. Headquarters was inspired by the concept of deploying large-scale landings against the enemy’s nearby forces to disorganize the defense. The technical capability for such a landing has been provided by the fleet of transport helicopters in the army aviation, which has increased dramatically to this day.

Until the mid-80s, 14 brigades, two regiments and about 20 battalions were stationed at the warehouse of the SR SRSR. The brigades were located on the territory of the SRSR according to the principle - one brigade per military district, which allows a land exit to the Sovereign cordon of the SRSR, one brigade in the inner Kiev Military district (23 separate airborne assault brigades near Cape Kremenchuk, ordered by Golov to the new command of the Pivdenno-Zhidny direct line) and two brigades for a group of Radyansky troops behind the cordon (35 ODShBR near DSVG near Cape Cottbus and 83 ODShBR near SGV near Cape Bialogard). 56th Guards ODSBR in OKSVA, stationed in the city of Gardez of the Republic of Afghanistan, located in the Turkestan Military District, where it was formed.

Alongside the airborne assault regiments, they were subordinated to the commanders of the adjacent army corps.

The difference between parachute and airborne assault formations of the Airborne Forces lay in the offensive:

Obviously, there are standard armored vehicles that are being parachuted (BMD, BTR-D, self-propelled guns “Nona”, etc.). In airborne assault units, only a quarter of all units were equipped with it - compared to 100% of the airborne units.
There is order in the military. Airborne assault units were promptly ordered by the command of military districts (military groups), armies, and corps. The paratrooper units were ordered by the command of the Airborne Forces, whose headquarters were near Moscow.
At the assigned jobs. It was announced that the airborne assault units, at the beginning of large-scale combat operations, would be equipped for landing in the enemy’s nearby areas, most importantly by landing with helicopters. The paratrooper units were transferred to the enemy's deepest ground with a parachute landing from VTA pilots. In this case, airborne landing preparation with planned initial landings by parachute method of a special warehouse and combat equipment was required for both types of airborne formations.
At the time of the replacement of the Guards paratroop units of the Airborne Forces, activated at full strength, the airborne assault brigades were squadroned (special staff) and were not Guards. The blame was placed on three brigades that were renamed the Guards, created on the basis of the 105th Vidensky Chervonopraporny Guards Airborne Division formed in 1979 - 35th, 38th and 5th 6-a.

In the mid-80s, the following brigades and regiments were located at the warehouse of the Airborne Forces of the SV SV SRSR:

1319 ODShP near the Trans-Baikal Military District (Chita region, metro station Kyakhta) subordinate to the 48th Army Corps (48 UAC)

The designated brigades are small in their command center, with 3 or 4 air assault battalions, one artillery division and a combat and logistics department. A special warehouse for fire-up brigades containing 2,500 military servicemen. For example, the number of staff in the special warehouse is 56 Guards. ODSHBR for 1 breast 1986 r. formed 2,452 military service members (261 officers, 109 warrant officers, 416 sergeants, 1,666 soldiers).

The police were divided into brigades with only two battalions: one parachute and one air assault (on BMD), as well as a smaller stock of parachute units of the regimental set.

Organizational and staffing structure of the 345th Guards Parachute Regiment, for the summer of 1988.

In the Afghan War, one airborne division (103rd Guards Airborne Division), one airborne assault brigade (56th Guards Airborne Assault Brigade), and one parachute took part in the airborne and air assault formations of the Western Soviet Socialist Republic. no-des4 OPDP) i two air assault battalions at the warehouse of the adjacent motorized rifle brigades (66 Motorized Rifle Brigade and 70 Motorized Rifle Brigade). In 1987, there were 18 “line” battalions (13 parachute and 5 air assault), which made up one fifth of the total number of all “line” OKSVA battalions ( included another 18 tank and 43 motorized rifle battalions). .

In almost the entire history of the Afghan war, there has never been a situation where a parachute landing would actually have been abandoned for transfer to a special warehouse. The main reasons for this were the complexity of the Georgian terrain and the unjustified material costs of similar methods in partisan warfare. The transfer of airborne and airborne assault units to a special warehouse near the Girsky districts of combat operations, impassable for armored vehicles, was carried out including the landing method from helicopters. Like all motorized rifle, tank and artillery units at the OKSVA warehouse, up to half of all airborne and air assault units were divided into guard duty behind outposts, so allowed to control roads, Girsky passes and a vast territory. dii of the enemy. For example, the 2nd parachute battalion is located in the warehouse of 345 Guards. The OPDP was stationed behind 20 outposts in the Panjshir Gorge near the village of Anava. The 2 PDB 345 OPDP themselves (along with the 682nd motorized rifle regiment of the 108th MSD, stationed in the village of Ruhu) blocked the exit from the gorge, which was the main transport artery of the enemy from Pakistan to the strategically important Charikar valley ska.

The largest combat airborne operation in the Western Soviet Socialist Republic, during the period after the Great German War, followed by the 5th Panjshir operation in the herbal-cherry of 1982, just before The mass landing of troops in Afghanistan was completed: after just the first three days, the landing More than 4 thousand people were landed using the helicopter method. This operation involved approximately 12 thousand military servicemen of various military clans. The operation took place in one hour for the entire 120 km. near the glen gorge. As a result, most of the Panjshir gorge was taken under control.

In the period from 1982 to 1986, all OKSVA airborne paratroopers underwent a systematic replacement of standard airborne armored vehicles (BMD-1, BTR-D) with armored vehicles standard for motorized rifle paratroopers iv (BMP-2D, BTR-70). For us, this was due to the low armor and low motor life of the structurally lightweight armored vehicles of the Airborne Forces, as well as the nature of the combat operations, such as the missions that the paratroopers carried out, little in the way of the tasks assigned to the motorized infantry.

Also, in order to increase the firepower of the landing squadrons, additional artillery and tank squadrons were introduced into their warehouse. For example, the 345 ODDP behind the motorized rifle regiment was supplemented with an artillery howitzer division and a tank company, in the 56 ADSB the artillery division was expanded to 5 fire batteries (replacing 3 batteries), and the 103rd. The airborne division will add strength to the 62nd tank battalion, which was beyond the control of the organizational and staffing structure of the Airborne Forces of the USSR.

Preparation of an officer's warehouse for the Airborne Forces

Officers were trained for the following military-regional specialties:

Ryazansky Airborne Command School - commander of a parachute landing (air assault) platoon, commander of a reconnaissance platoon.
Airborne Faculty of the Ryazan Military Automotive Engineering School - commander of an automobile/transport platoon.
Airborne Faculty of the Ryazan Military Command School - platoon commander.
The airborne faculty of the Novosibirsk Military-Political Military School is the protector of the company commander from the political unit (military robot).
Airborne Faculty of the Kolomna Higher Artillery Command School - commander of an artillery platoon.
Airborne Faculty of the Leningrad High Anti-Aircraft Missile Command School - commander of an anti-aircraft missile platoon.
Airborne Faculty of the Kamyantsy-Podilsky Military-Engineering Command School - commander of the engineer-sapper platoon.

In addition to the graduates of the initial positions, the Airborne Forces often appointed graduates of the higher military schools (VOKU) and military departments as platoon commanders, who were trained to become the commander of a motorized rifle platoon. This is due to the fact that the specialized Ryazan Airborne Command School, which produced about 300 lieutenants on average, was not able to completely meet the needs of the PDV (at the end of the 80s they There were close to 60,000 special warehouse) platoon commanders. For example, the greatest commander of the 247th Guards. PDP (7th Guards Airborne Forces), Hero of the Russian Federation Yuri Pavlovich, who began his service with the Airborne Forces as a platoon commander in the 111th Guards. PDP 105 Guards Airborne Forces, having graduated from the Alma-Ata Higher Command School.

For a long time, the military service members of the paratroopers and units of the SPN (so-called army special forces) were politely and humbly called paratroopers. This is due to the fact that the Radian period, as well as the Western Soviet Union of Russia, did not have any special significance, but it did and did develop those units of the Special Purpose (SNN) of the GRU of the General Staff of the Western Soviet Socialist Republic. The press and ZMI came up with the phrases “military special purpose” and “commando”, or even a powerful enemy (“Green Berets”, “Rangers”, “Commando”).

From these parts, from the 1950s until the end of the 1980s, the Soviet Socialist Republic began to notice the existence of similar substructures and elements. Even before the establishment of the military service, the terminology service was recognized only for acceptance from a special warehouse of these parts and parts. Officially in the Radian press and on the television station, units of the SPN GRU of the General Staff of the Western Soviet Socialist Republic were declaring either units of the Airborne Forces - as part of the GSVG (officially in the NDR there were no parts of the SPN), or as part of the OKSVA - surrounded by motorized rifle battalions (OMSB). For example, the 173rd Special Purpose Regiment (173 OOSpN), which was stationed in Kandahar, was called the 3rd Motorized Rifle Battalion (3rd Motorized Rifle Battalion).

At the everyday life of the VISKOVOVOKOVSKY, the Parton of the SPN wore the front to the Polov form of the Priynat at the Airborne Forces, I wanted it to Piddorokavannya, the Zavdani Rosvіdavali-dive-dive-dialsti did not take up to the Airborne Forces. The only thing that united the Airborne Forces and developed those parts of the SPN - this is a large part of the officer warehouse - graduates of the RVVDKU, airborne training and possible combat stagnation in the enemy's forces.

Goodbye, shanovni!

Please don’t judge me for the text, I’m not a writer - I’m a reader.

In due course, for the USSR, and beyond Ukraine..., it is my honor to serve as an officer in military unit A0224 (40th Air Assault Brigade). The brigade was directly subordinate to the Ministry of Defense of the USSR, but I don’t understand what this means. For the USSR, the brigade was completely protected, everyone knows. Beginning in 1992-93, security, to put it mildly, began to accumulate...it is impossible to describe all the moments. It got to the point where they hung a sign on the officers’ doors saying “kuren commander” (platoon commander). After walking around the brigade commander..., marveling at this and at the black wound separation on the parade ground, he said:

Turn over the old signs on the site, we don’t breed chickens, we steal Batkivshchyna!

U 1995 r. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine decided to create an elite unit - the National Guard of Ukraine and place one of these units on the basis of our unit. Before speaking: on the territory there was absolutely everything that was necessary for airborne training (airborne training), including repair facilities for servicing domes.

And the entire warehouse of the airborne unit was transferred to Solyany (m. Mikolaiv) to the base of the military unit..., that is. I realized that neither the Airborne Forces, nor the Airborne Forces (airborne complex) existed on the territory of the Svyazkivtsi, and neither of them will be there...

After the 40th Special Airborne Brigade, they were assigned to the 79th Airborne Regiment (Khmelnitsky) and that’s how my unit gave up its life.

Let's turn to the national Guards of Ukraine, which began to form in 1995 on the basis of paratroopers at B. Korenikhu. It didn’t take long for her to wake up, because I don’t have mercy on the river, and then.........

As luck would have it, yesterday, April 28, 2017, I was on the territory of my landing unit, or rather on the place that was lost from it.

I'll start with the order of my walkthrough:

There is a wide range of equipment here (shishariks, urals, BMD-shki, D-30 etc.), a PMM warehouse. Apparently, all the boxes were capital Viconn.

Checkpoint part (central entrance/exit)

right-handed at the checkpoint there was a 2-surface alert, on the 1st version there was an officer’s quarters (including those where we made holy visits), on the other side there was an officer’s quarters, and I am still alive.

On this site there were capital barracks, which housed a parachute battalion, and also a division of artillerymen on the D-30 and mortarmen.

This is how the barracks looked from the side of the parade ground.

the parade ground itself......

as it was (in the background there is a soldier’s quarters), preparation for being on the parade ground, separation from the ranks.

This is what the left side entrance to the soldiers' quarter looks like (for securing food)

and the axis is the power shooting range, for shooting with automatic armor and pistols, equipped with two steel long-lasting turrets, and an automatic target control point. In the remaining photo - sing-song, God doesn’t know how much lead there is in someone’s chest.

what was lost at the site of the All-Russian Children's Conservatory.

as it was... (in the background there are repair workshops for servicing domes, on the right there is a sports complex and further behind it, on the right, there is an airborne complex)

A place for tactical training, which had concrete trenches and trenches for throwing live grenades.

Central checkpoint (taking an angle, look for a road sign)

Opposite the checkpoint is the field where Kherson turntables (six and all) came before us for parachute striping.
