not only the infantry works, we also have tanks, artillery, working out, everything is working together, thousands of defenders of the fatherland are fighting at the front, thousands of heroes, among whom are they, fearless attack aircraft, infantry, a group in position, ready to move, weapons have been checked, assaults, they are the first to go into battle, they see the enemy is eye to eye, rushing into positions, repelling counterattacks. mariupol, severodonetsk, artyomovsk, behind each captured city there are stories of courage and heroism. on february 17, 2024, the town of avdeevka was liberated by attack aircraft. in february, avdeevka, a city, was taken which in 10 years the ssu turned into a strategically important fortified area. in april , novomikhailovka was completely liberated. where we are, there is victory. now we will fly the flag in the center of novamikhailovka. in may, assault detachments

of the north group of troops occupied more than twenty villages in the kharkov region. we need to push them back as far as possible, move forward and move towards victory. volchansk, chasov yar, ugledar, the most burning sections of the front, where our attack aircraft are pushing back the enemy. sometimes the distance to the enemy is less than a grenade throw, and shots hit at point blank range. a deadly duel takes place in narrow trenches. the winner is determined by luck, mutual assistance and personal courage, purely, come on, first, what kind of modern infantry is it, what distinguishes the attack aircraft from all other fighters, why they are called liberators, until the foot of the infantryman has set foot on enemy territory or is busy digging, it is considered not our support point, not our land, everyone understands...

rare footage taken by our reconnaissance drone, south donetsk direction, novomikhailovka, a detachment is working storm of the twenty-ninth army, the enemy doesn’t even suspect that he has our motorized rifles behind him, the sea is the sea, but there is the enemy, there is a hundred percent enemy, from there this shooting comes, reception, in the direction of the new mikhail. the task was set to take

the fortification of the enemy area, they walked in small groups, because there is a greater likelihood that you will pass, you will pass more quietly. for three days the attack aircraft held their positions and corrected the fire of our artillerymen. all information from the front line was immediately sent to the command post. there were unknown points machine guns, snipers, ags, riflemen were working, it was decided that it was necessary to go behind enemy lines, gain a foothold, and take up defensive positions. a fight, even a short one. meant failure of the mission, the sounds of gunfire would have given away our soldiers. now these negotiations are history, the history of a successful tactical operation. find four people in the opornik, according to the interception radio they are running out of ammunition, perhaps they have already left it. there was fog, we entered unnoticed, dispersed, gained a foothold, and took to the height from where it was convenient for us. to conduct

surveillance, we needed to figure out where our allies and our units may be attacked; after completing the mission, the group had to return. but the retreat was hampered by a hidden machine-gun crew of the ukrainian armed forces. thanks to our adjustments, the tank was hit and the gun crew destroyed the machine gun nests. in this battle, they managed to destroy a tank and several ukrainian armed forces firing points in their positions; they returned with the same composition, without losses. well done guys, well done, handsome guys. well done, in general! we get to the positions on front roads, broken country roads, impassable mud, this near the rear, it’s dangerous here, there are enemy drones in the sky, there is a risk of a missile strike, well

, so that you have at least some idea of ​​what happens on front-line roads, in the days of warming it will unravel, it’s just mud, we’re walking, we’re practically driving sideways along the road, i don’t know, only heavy equipment can move, not far from here, one of the most difficult sections of the front, we are at the combat positions of our stormtroopers, among whom there may be fighters from the storm detachment, hello everyone, good morning. the situation is not just close to real the front line, these are all the same sections of the front along which the line of combat contact previously passed, the trees are cut by shrapnel, the fields are plowed with craters, badger, badger,

badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, i'm russian, welcome. and here they are, the heroes of that very battle, call sign barsik, platoon commander, waiting for his return from the field, squad leader morton and squad leader with call sign black, so he personally destroyed a machine gun point during the retreat. we are already used to it, this is your combat work, but this, i don’t know, is something even more dangerous or scarier, can you figure out how you decide to do this over and over again? this is how we go back, we don’t have back, we only have forward, here everyone becomes related, makes friends, becomes one big family, so if i don’t go there, then my place will be empty, from this place my friend will no longer be there won't cover. for a three-day operation under the nose of

the enemy, the storm detachment was presented with state awards; the squad commander , cherny, is 25 years old, he comes from a family, a volunteer, and has already been awarded the order of courage and medals. behind courage, i imagined the war very differently, i thought there would be a lot of tanks, planes, but it turns out that the infantry is in first place, but the infantry is in first place, well , with tanks you won’t completely defeat the enemy with artillery, he can retreat back and dig in again, and they specifically go into the assault, look at every hole in general, every crack, a hole, so that it doesn’t turn out to be either a grenade, or you go and shoot something yourself, this won’t work with tanks. detachment commander morton, a career military man in the northern military district since the fall of 2022. previously, there was a performance of this as paratroopers, marines, there are 80 meters and above, they are all

athletes, in life this is almost not the case, ordinary guys, cores, some are tall, some are thin, some are long, everyone who has such a vein to walk.

storm us, support them with fire, here at the training grounds we practice all this and go out into action until we practice it automatically and then it’s easier, everyone already knows. i do, if you need to act quickly, assault units move towards enemy fortifications in infantry fighting vehicles, often under cover of tanks. as i understand it, everyone has already been awarded orders and medals, yes, for me , for bravery, for the last task, for completing, four crews, they drove, worked , as if the task was taken away, the task was completed, set. as far as i understand, you have an order and an order covering the infantry of the zops

, dismantling the fortification of the area and inflicting an exact defeat with the fortification, they contributed to the advancement of the infantry just forward, every trip is a combat mission and you never know whether you will return from it to the zaporozhye combat direction. the bmd 4m landing vehicle rushes towards the positions of the ukrainian armed forces. there is an open field around. stormtroopers under tank cover are approaching a forest plantation, where our reconnaissance had earlier discovered enemy infantry. rapid attack, the occupied positions were transferred to our units.

april twenty-fourth, in the center of novomikhailovka, the flag of the marine attack aircraft of the 155th separate brigade of the pacific fleet. this victory was not easy. over the past 10 years, conflicts of the ukrainian armed forces have turned the settlement into a powerful fortified area. this is probably about the same. eight strong points, that is, these are trenches it turns out that they were dug not by machines, but by hand, and a month later in may, our fighters thwarted all attempts of the kiev regime to hold the village of rabotino in the zaporozhye direction, enemy equipment, enemy manpower, grenade launchers, machine guns were destroyed, the napornik was taken away, the russian flag was hoisted by attack aircraft of the 42nd motorized rifle divisions. groupings of troops dnieper, sight 522,

shot, everything is the same as our grandfathers and great-grandfathers liberated ukraine, we are crossing the same seversky donetsk, all the same settlements, i met the war, i already graduated from the eighth grade, he me saved, his armor, thank you, savior, i continue the work of my grandfather, he went through the first and second world wars, he turned out to be... heroes over his head, time chose us today

, on the first day of this year, we celebrate the seventy- ninth anniversary of the great victory, let's talk about military songs years, i remember the infantry, for me the most heartfelt songs are those that were heard in our films, death is not terrible, the great song that alexander vasilyevich alexandrov wrote when...

we are going to the motorized rifle brigade of the 126th brigade in one of the most difficult areas of defense coastal front near kherson, where the frontline runs straight along the dnieper river. it feels approaching. to the line of combat contact, there are practically no random civilian vehicles, only military transport, the roads are damaged by mines and shells, we are met by the company commander, guard senior lieutenant oleg pivovarov, a hero of russia, together with him we go to

the positions. pivovarov took command in august 2022. oleg received the hero's gold star for a feat that could have cost him his life. we had two officers in the company, it was commander ota, one yakov is not a platoon. and when he died, he had to take command himself. it was especially difficult for them in those days. at one point, the young commander and twenty of his soldiers had to take up a perimeter defense. from the right to the left, we had earplugs coming up close to us, we thought what. there was no one left, that is , they calmly, voluntarily entered the forest belt, there was direct contact with the enemy , there was a shootout, aircraft flew in, helicopters were hammering, and he could not find any other solution but to bring his infantry through an open field and call fire on himself, he

saved his soldiers, lured the enemy into a trap, in a matter of seconds they hit the enemy...

they felt like they were in a small town, i saw nothing but military life, and the decision to become a military man kind of came from there, that is , from my father after all, because i didn’t see myself in civilian life at all, that is , constantly with my father, oleg put on the officer’s shoulder straps in the twenty-first year, after college and went to serve in the coastal defense brigade, as a platoon commander, then a special operation, we went through a lot, saw a lot and there's real carnage there, there's a tank battle the real one was seen in august last year, when i was still a platoon commander, when 19 tanks were destroyed there near novorentsovka, the thirtieth, the thirtieth, i am an atom, already as a company commander, he knocked out a tank and six enemy armored vehicles in only one battle. in the spring of 2023 , oleg pevavarov was awarded a gold star.

comrade minister of defense of the russian federation, senior officers. oleg informed his family about his award as soon as he arrived on vacation in the krasnoyarsk territory, but kept silent about the circumstances. he says: mom, you are there tomorrow are you resting? i say, no, work, he says, i’ll have to rest, i say, i mean, he says, i’m on my way, he got off with such a big box, i look, such a beautiful box, he opens it, and there’s a star, we’re in shock, this only later. everyone learned how he destroyed enemy armored vehicles, how he called fire on himself, how he pulled out his wounded comrade ilya from the battlefield, my friend, my best since abetura, we are always close to him, always together, he himself is in sevastopol, serving here together with me, still commanders, i’m there for the reception, senior, let him come to his left, right

now, oleg told us so much about his comrade in arms so that... we asked him to make such a small surprise, take a look at the nearby location of his friend , the company commander, let's hope that the surprise will be pleasant, great, greetings , alexey, very nice, ilya was born and raised in sevastopol in february 2014, when he was only 15, one of the first to join the militia. and i went as a volunteer to guard the state administration of the city of sevastopol, at that time i was 15 years old, i had the goal, i had a dream, was to do just that.

this is how guys make fun of themselves and their opponents. so that they know who is working in their direction, i always have, let’s say, they are working like a wheel, that is, they’re done, another one takes off, just like that, they just get out, let’s say there are some boats there, they’re coming, immediately everyone is on duty goals are aimed, that is , finding a foot, that’s who learns from whom, you from oleg or oleg from you, it’s like here we did everything together, we were in the same company together, we started together, also... in fact, yes, we can say that we complement each other, that is, he came up with something, i came up with something, their friendship was tested in a combat situation, once oleg carried out

a comrade during artillery shelling on one of the dnieper islands, we always pull each other out when we say, on the island i was shell-shocked, so he himself went after me, that is, on a boat to get me, together they are ready to move mountains, but only here on the northern military district they see each other... not as often as i would like to, they worry if someone alone doesn’t come out for a long time communication, we came here already as plant commanders , we constantly stayed together and seemed to constantly support each other, but here, of course , it’s important, because since he’s going somewhere, i’m not like him, don’t stop, or i’m going, that is, he also holds, supports in some places, helps in others, we constantly support each other. infantry, attack aircraft, they are always on the front line, they are the first to enter enemy positions and

know that the slightest mistake can cost their lives, here they practice the necessary skills and tactical actions. we have the next one, now two assault groups, with tank cover, will be on the tank. they are located sequentially, the task of a detachment consisting of a rifle, a company and two shawl groups, they will take these support units, here the infantry flies in, that’s it, come on, the commander from the place, come on, come on, come on. he can do everything like that on the side, i understand, yes, he needs a camera now, they move in combat twos,

threes, fives, now they are entering another forest clearing, also a combat one, they work in a combat style, that is, everything is like in real life. let's go, the assault squad is moving towards the enemy's strong point, sit down here, i went, sit down, here, wait for the next one, where else are the people, there is contact, i'm holding everything, i'm holding it, let's move on, air. air, air, unexpectedly an introductory message arrived, air, bird, look at it,

black, see it, that's it, gone, let's go forward, the guys came almost close to the support man, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, grenade, grenades are used, troika , the grenade launcher and... his assistant and the machine gunner are covering the attack aircraft, that's it, that's it, let's go, come here, come, come, what have it’s black for you, it’s clean like that, clean, come on, load a grenade, the first strong point has been taken, the attack aircraft are moving on, come on, come on, take up defense, for now, in short, the enemy of the tank, let’s destroy it, run, run, run, come on on the move, on the move, the fighters practice every action, there are no trifles, the training is observed by commanders, instructors, for an hour, in short, you have an enemy bmp, that’s it, leave, leave, don’t

idle and... you understand these moments, no, how you advanced , the left central flank came out, the right one was forgotten about him and just went further, where they went, left the right flank, that is, towards the enemy, opened, yes, dismounting, when it happens, our task is from the car, what to do first, we are running away from it, why are we running away, remember, she will just start spinning, they will smear you all there, you understand these moments, no, i accepted it, ran out from her and run away from her to the side, they brought you to

the support, everyone stood up and stood, waiting for... jumps back, run away before you fall this brusler, concentrate, don’t stand in a heap, don’t create a crowd of support workers than you closer to each other, the greater the chance of dying, a fight for every meter, it seems to be a figure of speech, but exactly until such footage appears, in the trench of ukrainian militants under the flint, our soldier makes his way alone, in a matter of seconds three are killed, two taken prisoner, well...

you can already show it in full as a training video for attack aircraft, it was march 10, 2023, 3 days later a new mission, which turned out to be the last, maltsev died, covering his own on the battlefield, while his guys pulled out, he diverted attention to himself, to give relief to the wounded, well, it actually reached him. my teacher, my commander, courage, speed, cool head, i’ll highlight this, may twenty of what, footage of a marine’s combat work in the pacific ocean in the southern donetsk direction, ukrainian militants settled in one of the hangars, the marines went out to storm a strong point at dawn when the command came, they walked through the former fence. and

reached the support man, after which they began to actively throw grenades, well , the assault phase began, one prisoner came out immediately with his hands raised, he began to say that he didn’t shoot, i asked them how many of you are here, they answered, well, there are five of us, they all came out with their hands raised, five of them, a unit of the ukrainian armed forces on the second line of defense brought down the full power of artillery on the hangar, as soon as it became clear that some of the ukrainian fighters had surrendered captured, scouts came out to us, said that a tank was coming towards us, well, they were coming at us, they took back all the points to fight back, they held the position for 5 days until the main forces arrived, but they defended the strong point and advanced further , in the occupied first hangar st. andrew's flag was unloaded. hooray!

i love you, varya, i’ll leave olga, your daughter is getting confused with the teddy bear again, he’ll kill you, he won’t kill you, he’s found someone else for himself, you’ve already come close to death twice for him, that means i love you to death. premiere from monday on the first. february 2024. kherson direction. to see the combat work of company ilya along the road, we had to go to him in the dark, because during daylight hours it is especially dangerous. to the command post, so we sneak in the night, i don’t know here, there are no landmarks, we dive into a hole almost in rabbit, oh, here the guys have an underground

fortification, they did everything themselves, they dug everything out, we saw this when they were just being built six months ago, that’s what the council did. a small kitchen, in general, come on in, at dawn we go to the position, the bank of the dnieper, craters, trenches, dilapidated houses. in the summer of 2023 , the ukrainian country destroyed the kokhovskaya gas station and the guys moved on boats, somewhere afloat. but we didn’t leave our positions, literally immediately the next day we went back into the water, that is, we were on the upper floors of the houses, all that, because the front, as it were, cannot be abandoned under

any circumstances, well, yes, yes, here, of course, it is already felt that there were serious battles and a flood, houses were damaged, destroyed by the flood. we reach the bank of the dnieper in a few minutes, look, here you can already see the water, here we are next to the river, the exit in the direction of the dnieper, here is the river, the dnieper is behind me somewhere, and there is already the enemy, everything is the very front line of defense here the guys have everything already equipped, here they don’t let anyone through, there’s a mine sign. they settled in this house fighters. from the outside it is not clear that anyone lives here, otherwise enemy artillery and drones would raze this place to the ground. life depends on proper camouflage on the front line. everyone

lives in basement dugouts. it’s safe here in the basement, it’s still good protection and you can sleep peacefully overnight from shelling.

he shoots the crew at the bird, now guys, you are trying to track the bird and extinguish it,

he shot it down, that’s it, he shot down the bird, the eyes of the enemy, that’s what reconnaissance drones are called in the northern military district, destroyed, we better get this place faster leave before it starts. september 2023 , south-donetsk direction, footage was taken by a reconnaissance copter of the village of urozhaynaya, the most complex. battle, five of our attack aircraft, two of them were wounded against twelve ukrainian armed forces fighters, some 10 meters from each other. the commander gave us the task of taking a place on the support, we took the support, everything, well, we had to hold him . at the enemy, the deputy platoon commander with the telling surname kalashnikov and the no less telling call sign bolshoi, fired aimed fire at full height. he's in any he could have died for a second, but continued to carry out his combat mission. i went out into the trench for the senior man to observe everything, i had to

just be in charge of everyone, two more of our shooters worked with the flank from the dugouts, everyone acted harmoniously, thanks to the clear commands of ivan kalashnikov, then the enemy began to throw grenades at our supporter, their senior had command he let them throw grenades, shoot, watched where i was, in my direction, directed them, the enemy never managed to take the strong point, an hour later the ukrainian armed forces unit was forced to simply run. all our attack aircraft who took part in this battle were awarded orders of courage, and ivan kalashnikov was awarded a gold hero star for his competent actions. our next stop is the unmanned airline bars, the know-how and main pride of the commander of a motorized rifle company or on the way. i’ve been commanding a company for a year now, and within a year they’ve already been tested.

bars airline, welcome on board, let's go, i'll show you where they live, it's also a basement, you see,

you repair everything yourself and there are guys, that is, everyone does their own thing, so to speak task, now here are the two-drones, these are them , so to speak, we have them captured, we put them in pp, the boys, they reflashed them, assemble them, that is, they completely repair them, so they send them back to them, oh, and this is the burnt one, what’s wrong him, we got right into the battery, you’re cool, what can i say, here is such a cozy room from which combat work is carried out, fp drones are also working constantly, that is, everything, but where is the enemy, where is he already sitting, where are you find it, here on the islands, but we are looking for the enemy, prowling, watching, constantly we fly there. constant aerial reconnaissance, we work on identified targets, we saw them,

defeated them, and accordingly, well, we have all this recorded. in conversation, ilya constantly remembers his friend oleg pevovavarov, with whom they often found themselves in the thick of it, but they always knew that there was someone nearby who would not let you down and would always support. only here you understand the price of life, the price of life and friendship, the friendship of camaraderie, here only this can be understood when you take risks. two young officers, both in the most difficult sectors of the front, we are even before special military operation, yes, we were friends, he and i studied side by side, constantly together, all problems were solved together, here this was more evident in battle, but this friendship, when we pulled each other out, when we... worried about each other , being there, even a kilometer away, they supported,

helped constantly, without envy, sincerely, well, it was like being best friends with him, he has two orders of courage, also for certain moments there, a good guy, seriously quite, and as a commander, he is a very responsible person, medal orders are good, but the most important thing is to return home to your family alive and healthy. during the six months that we did not see each other, oleg grew in rank and position, now he is a guard captain, deputy commander of an assault detachment. in that. since, unfortunately, it was not possible to meet, the hero of russia is again where he is needed most, on the front line, like thousands of our other guys, infantrymen, stormtroopers, beating the enemy, and this video, which was filmed by the assaults, speaks for itself. we completed all the tasks assigned by the detachment, to our great happiness we arrived without

two hundredths, all the boys were slightly wounded, so i'll be back in action quickly. stormtroopers, so who are they, superheroes without a doubt, at the same time they are ordinary people, men, defenders of different nationalities, religions , ages, drivers and businessmen, mechanics and teachers, handymen lawyers, who , when asked why you are here, calmly answer who then , if not us? taking this opportunity, we would like... to give warm greetings to our fellow countrymen, kazan, argask, novosibirs, omsk, cherepanova, tatarstan kazan, antomoseisk and krasnoyarsk. the russian flag was raised over the liberated avdeevka, there was a feeling of pride for the russian army, for our grandfathers, this is

a great victory that we took here. the liberation of ovdeevka made it possible to move the front line away from donetsk. now the same task faces us in the kharkov direction, to create a sanitary zone in the border areas, to push the enemy as far as possible from civilians. at the moment we are all on my land, i am a native of the belgorod region, when all my relatives and the father of two sons are behind me, how can i give up or... not finish my job, these are good guys , i ... them i respect you for this, it’s not a choice, the teamwork of the guys is excellent, everyone understands each other, everyone

stands for each other, everyone works well with each other, with a cool head, a warm heart, air.
