i was promoted and given the position of commander of a howitzer artillery battery, now i am the commander of a howitzer artillery battery, modern howitzers, high-precision weapons, a cannon shot is akin to a jewelry cut from a scalpel, and the actions of an artillery crew are like a microsurgeon, when you work in hail and they tell you 20 fire, 30 fire , that is, after the first three sightings you expect a continuation, here is a shot and silence and that’s it. how to understand everything, well , it seems that he transferred a sniper rifle from a machine gun, this is confirmed by the fact that recently, let’s say the calculations of our battery destroyed an enemy tank with the third shell, and we fired not with guided ammunition, but with conventional ammunition, for rocket fire systems the target is still large-scale, voluminous, these are enemy columns, platoon company strongholds , concentration area, and here... the howitzer works exactly like

a sniper rifle. three of my great-grandfathers took part in the great patriotic war, respectively, one of them was an artilleryman. this is vasily ivanovich, he division artillery commander, there was such a position before. accordingly, he participated in the battles under raisins and liberated ukraine. he reached berlin with his division as an artillery commander, was awarded the order of the red star and accordingly liberated berlin, another great-grandfather was the commander of a reconnaissance unit, was also awarded the order of the red star, was wounded and accordingly jumped off immediately after the war. my third great-grandfather, he accordingly started the great patriotic war in '41 year as a volunteer in the very first years of the war... went missing, was later

declared dead, accordingly, i can say i continue their path. an officer in the war zone from the first days of a special operation, he commanded a howitzer artillery battery for 33 years, during his esvo he experienced a lot, served with volunteers and mobilized people and realized that history is made by thousands of ordinary people from all over the country. who is fighting? people are fighting, ordinary people, perhaps. with rare exceptions , sometimes you come across actors, perhaps singers, but this is more an exception than a rule , look at our singers, where did they all go, all these aly pugachevs and so on and so forth, they all ran away as soon as they smelled kerosene, ordinary people stood up to defend our homeland, that’s all, so i decided to become part of a big country, to participate in its life by defending this country, in almost 2 years at the front the battalion combatant rethought life values, and now he understands exactly what

is really important and what is secondary. this helps the officer make decisions easily in stressful situations. if something is important to in your life, for survival, this is worth paying attention to. if it doesn't affect your survival, then you shouldn't even bother. this is probably the most important change. when a friend or acquaintance dies, you try not to show it and you just realize that there is something inside you.

just one shell arrived, and it so happened that at that moment it fell behind our combat vehicle, there were two people on the combat vehicle at that moment, only the commander of the combat vehicle was involved, his legs were cut, so they started him with this combat vehicle pull up the cars , we must immediately say thank you to the guys, the artillerymen, who immediately drove up the ural car, our path just ran through a settlement that was constantly under fire, so we passed through this settlement, instead of... for him to talk to me , he was talking at first, then he just started tapping me on the shoulder, we brought him right on time, we just wouldn’t have made it a little longer, the driver was great, the driver got us there quickly, if he hadn’t got us there, it seems to me nothing would have happened it wouldn't have worked.

a few months ago, the battalion commander received an order to open fire on a target that was only about 60 km away. there were means of objective control, this is a drone. for the defeat of the enemy column, the commander was awarded the zhukov medal, and accordingly, he was encouraged for completing combat missions, well, among other things, there was just this task, after all, our great-grandfathers, they essentially fought in these same places, they reached berlin,

they they fought, by the way, almost completely peacefully, that is, nazi germany included not only germany, but also various. precisely at work, and as if in everyday life, he is also a very educated person, very good, demanding, strict, when you are physically tired and mentally tired, he supports us by making fun, telling

various anecdotes, incidents from life, he plays the guitar very well, he has wonderful singing and more than once in the evenings we get it when he’s... on duty, we sit down together, have tea, coffee, drink and sing songs, we should have fallen asleep a long time ago, but for some reason we can’t sleep, again now you see, now something if you play, it’s dangerous, what if this song is somehow different, what if someone once performed it, who is now no longer ours, the most relevant songs for us that exist are songs about the great patriotic war, the very in fact, for some reason it seems to me that they fit very well. very suitable, because they were written during the war, by people who fought, they knew what they were writing about, it seems to me, i haven’t played such a song, i want to play it for you, maybe you will appreciate it, death is not scary, we met her more than once in the steppe,

and now she is above me. i’m spinning, you ’re waiting for me, you’re not sleeping by the baby’s crib, so i know nothing will happen to me, there are songs like that, just to suit my mood. and so you listen to this song, you understand, as if they were painting, you understand, right here even now, but the steppe is, there is, the wind, the bullets are all there, now this song has left an imprint, definitely, definitely, but they don’t may not leave an imprint if the song is good, the fastest artilleryman

with the call sign physical education teacher, professional athlete, marathon runner, trained as a child kudo and army hand-to-hand combat... i’ve been serving in the armed forces for nine years and continue to serve, that’s how it began , i came here right away too, my brother came, and my father and uncle came , my mother’s brother, they also participate here everything, well, in different areas, only we communicate like this, communicate periodically, that is, you get the whole family with needs. yes, but my sister should do the same in the near future, she plans like a doctor, she has a medical education, she says, it’s also impossible to stand on the sidelines when this happens psychologically, it’s somehow hard to say how your mother reacted to this, well , your mother is worried, of course, any mother will be

worried, nervous, well, no matter how much she swears, go if this is the case, brother, dad, they are also artillerymen, brother artillery ? my father carries the wounded, when they called him up, the last time he said that even seeing a red cross on the car, here they are firing, it’s as if they have nothing sacred at all. my brother left with an injury, now he is performing other tasks in russia, and my uncle is also an artilleryman, he also a gunner, only on other guns, the physical education teacher remembers his first guard duty with a smile, although at that moment there was no time for laughter, he walked every 10 m, sat down, listened and looked closely in such complete darkness. i hear, well, i’m moving , i hear two steps so distinct, i take her turn

, and it turned out to be our cat, i didn’t know about him at all, in the morning the guys tell me that he almost hit volodya, every day after this incident this the cat began to come to the position, he first meows then comes and what does this mean? mine, yes, that it didn’t fly anymore. and what prompted , most importantly, your whole family to voluntarily go to their place to stand on the sidelines and look at all this, it’s also somehow impossible to run away, there were options to quit, leave the contract, move to another place, well, none of us, we were born in the caucasus, we are somehow not accepted run away somewhere, well, that’s all at once, we’ll come to participate, dad, of course, was against

my brother coming here, they are one son, he says, at least stay, i say, no, we’ll all carry out tasks together, it helps that you here everything is together morally, even though you are not in the same department in different areas, it’s psychologically difficult, we all worry about each other, it doesn’t matter, so my mother sends us parcels - different ones, that is, they come from afar, of course, but people understand, they help . something homemade sends something like this, our mountain honey, well , these are the delicious things that are here, even their smell reminds me of home, you remember your native land there, a serviceman with the call sign groot is a friend of the vizruk, the soldier says, the military unit is a very complex team, and here it’s like nowhere it is important to be able to avoid conflict and adapt to each other.

moreover, we are all almost all different individuals, because all people are different, nationalities, different cultures, some are smart, some are mathematicians, some are knowledgeable in something else, but this cannot be put into words, this is probably , you need to feel , be in a team, i remember one case when...

we built a homemade mini-gym, we try to keep ourselves in some kind of shape, those who lift heavy weights, they lift like this, someone here i am running, i used to do kudo, army hand-to-hand combat, then i competed for the regiment, then i started running. i ran a lot , at least 100 km a week, i started with a coach, european champion natalya popkova, i realized that running was for me after all, and fizruk achieved impressive results in professional long-distance running, he participated in republican all-russian marathons, among thousands... athletes almost always came to the finish line first, his record in dagestan has not yet been broken. i

i ran the first 42 km marathon competition, it was a series of moscow races, a two-time champion of these starts, plus i ran the record of the republic of dagestan, 225 km, that’s 33 hours without stopping, that’s all. it was extremely difficult for a year, these trainings were grueling, they were more psychologically somehow pressing the same thing, every day , at least 15-20 km, with a nutritionist you keep a tight rein on yourself, you don’t even allow yourself to drink an extra glass of water, that’s how it was, every gram of food was weighed, it

was really, really hard. through for some time i ran a personal best in 34 minutes 45 seconds, i ran konstantin khabensky’s charity race, it was extremely difficult for me, despite the fact that i won another start in a week, it was such a control race, but i won there , the guys fought until the last meters let's give them a round of applause, of course. diplomas gifts from our partners and organizers. the weight of each projectile is about 50 kg, and thanks to the fact that i am a professional athlete, here at the front it helps me to easily carry such heavy shells. while svo is going on, it’s easy

to stay in shape here, at least to work out at such venues. jogging in the morning, periodically. somehow i have to find time for sports, but i think that when i finish my time, i also plan to continue to engage professionally, return to sports, update the republic’s records somehow, i need to round it up to 300 , it can be, but again this is big the amount of time needed, this is in running, somehow everything is much more complicated, they say in athletics, but i don’t agree with this at all in other words, it’s not easy at all. is now being sent on a combat mission, the combat vehicle is loaded with high-explosive fragmentation

shells and a multiple launch rocket system. the city is run by a volunteer from the vologda region, in civilian life he worked as a driver of a timber truck, and in the military service he served as a sniper in the border troops. at first, the north military district understood that its place was here at the front. colleagues noticed his resemblance to the hero of yevgeny leonov from the film gentleman of fortune, and gave him the call sign associate professor. well, i never thought that i would be an artilleryman. and then fate connected. to me like. well, look at the guys, they are there. what is he doing here, sitting on the sofa, as if , despite his age, as if, in principle, it’s normal, who , if not you, will protect them, that’s right, two brothers fought at the front with the assistant professor, unfortunately, both recently died in battle, here’s a brother , he

left 5 months before me, so he was supposed to come on vacation in may and... and we are already like brother and brother together, it’s still easier, it’s like everything, but it didn’t work out, they brought him on the first of may home to bury, so in may i tried to sign at the end of may go, there was no set, i came to the vinkomat , they told me to wait for a call, in the month of september, i was just there with another cousin, a 23-year-old boy was also brought, he was in... how would you think about it all first of all, whether i need it or not, in the end i came to the conclusion that it is necessary, 3 weeks ago my brother was awarded the order of judgment, although this is all posthumous, it’s a pity, of course.

and the wife, here’s what your relatives told you, your parents support you, your wife, like, your little son is still in the garden, he doesn’t understand this, but misses, parents, of course, positively, what he says, you did it, guys, you are already a hero saying that this is all, but you need to recognize this, it was not spontaneous. the decision was made, it was a few sleepless nights, yes, well, i think i did the right thing. like a watch, it works great, everything is well maintained , a good car, at first he ended up in an assault

unit, and this service is one of the most difficult at the front, it is especially difficult when you are over 45, but the assistant professor easily adapted and was already ready to participate v contact shooting battles on the front line, a month passed in storms, it was like training, it was fun there.

yes, the assistant professor has shown himself to be a very good driver, he always helps, helps out , sometimes advises, because he is twice my age, but he shares his experience because he has lived longer than me, he always helps to say something when we we do something with him, he always helps with advice, says the right thing.

a year before the war, 5 years of war and after the war he served for another year, and took the oath twice, he was in captivity so that he would not attack the germans to work, he burned his damn leg with a burning iron , it’s just that one of his legs was normal, the other was just like with a liver, that’s all, so as not to work, he was almost punished there for this, well, the allies released him, he took the oath again, you’re going grandma the machine is coming and baptizing it... that means i’m doing everything right, that means it’s correct, what kind of implement would you

like to work on? well, as for artillery, in general, for everyone, in order to fully understand and feel what it is, it’s also not bad, but on the tori i would like to shoot with cannons, like, well, for me there is still time, i think the hail will not be limited until it all ends, it was visible further there. do you have any awards? no yet, yes , i’m not looking for awards, they will be, so they will be, no, so no, it’s okay, you’re up to victory, in any case, even my contract ends next september, but i ’m here anyway, for now it won't end.

in the lpr there is a day of mourning in memory of the

ukrainian victims. strikes on lesechansk in vsoo shelled the city the day before, used the hymers system, destroyed the building with the bakery. according to the ministry of emergency situations, 28 people died, among them child. 10 were saved. according to the regional ministry of health, five of them are in serious condition. the rubble at the scene of the tragedy was cleared all night, more than half of the work has already been completed. the crew of the russian bukm1 complexes destroyed two hymarс missiles in the south donetsk direction of the special operation. a subdivision of the group operates in this area. our anti-aircraft missile systems can immediately accompany 300 objects at different altitudes, including at an altitude of up to 18 km, including drones, airplanes and helicopters, missiles of various types. class. hungarian prime minister viktor orban admitted that he was forced to make concessions to brussels on the allocation of aid to ukraine. according to him , if he had continued to resist,

the money would still have been sent to kiev. and... which were originally intended for hungary. on the night between saturday and sunday, the us would transfer funds to the ukrainian country, and the uk would again fire at houthid targets in yemen. strikes were carried out from the sea and air using tamagaw missiles. it is reported that about 40 were affected facilities in 13 localities, including the capital sana'a. next on air is the program. the kiev regime is savoring a small seven-minute victory in order to hide behind it the scale of a gigantic attack, once again hitting the honors of russian missiles, hiding the remarkable fact that its own reserves have been destroyed. we will tell you more about the new schemes of ukrainian lies right now in the stopfake program on russia-24. so, the ukrainian armed forces have another

reason to report a slightly grandiose triumph on the front line. as stated national guard militants shot down an entire landset. a single copy allegedly collapsed to the ground under kalashnikov fire. in the photo from the pages of the heavy-duty media, what really catches your eye is something like fragments of our loitering ammunition; one of the boys, out of excess of joy, did not hesitate to pose with it. and here is a visual guide in the form of headlines that are indistinguishable from each other. did the impossible, or at worst almost impossible, it is this phrase that now wanders from one publication to another, downright striking in its pathos, but how there are always nuances, and by inflating this informational occasion, they are trying to shift attention, trying to make noise about the information about thousands of dead, that the armed forces of ukraine is now suffering huge losses in manpower, but...
