today, russia returned 115 soldiers from ukrainian captivity, in return the ukrainian side received so much...

i'm alive and healthy, mom, everything, everything, everything is fine, too, i'm still in russia. the russian army is developing an offensive on several sections of the front at once: soldiers from the central group of troops destroyed about 600 ukrainian armed forces militants in 24 hours, the defense ministry reported. in addition, our soldiers managed to improve their tactical situation. details of the advance into the enemy's defense in the report by alexey baranov. this is the only house standing in a small grove at the intersection of several country roads, the sappers enter with extreme caution. according to intelligence working in the northern direction, it was here that ukrainian troops were recently based. the first spot has been discovered. the data received by the scouts is confirmed: mines and a cache have been discovered. sappers from the southern group of troops report more and more finds. also , the form can find. having analyzed

what has been discovered, conclusions are made right on the spot. apparently, there used to be an anti-tank crew here; during the retreat, the enemy could mine traps to set, and in order not to risk personnel, we will destroy them on the spot, with a surface charge. and so, having retreated to a truly safe distance, a large number of anti-tank mines and other weapons found in the house are destroyed. of course, tankers also take part in displacing the enemy. this unit of the central military district continues to operate in the ovdeevsky direction. they replace each other, tankers work both with direct fire directly from the line of combat contact, and from equipped camouflaged closed firing positions. you don't see the target, you are adjusted with the help of drones. similar to the work of artillery, and the exit directly, you just see the enemy. the closest distance was. and the work differs

in time, if at the zop you can stand there for a day or two, wait, then directly you roll out, you are given a task, you work out as quickly as possible, more precisely and roll back to yourself, and such combat work, of course, is the most dangerous, therefore, performing it, tankers always act in groups that replace each other after the crew working on the front line has completely used up its supply of shells, the ammunition is always replenished in a matter of minutes, if the task has already been received, then the tankers are immediately sent to carry it out, in the neighboring krasnolimansk direction , the batteries of the multiple launch rocket systems of the western group of troops are working around the clock, combat vehicles, in order not to fall under the response...

fire constantly change firing lines, always being in full readiness, begin work in a matter of minutes after receiving the coordinates of the targets: counter-battery warfare - these are the enemy's artillery guns , mortars, self-propelled guns, enemy infantry, we destroy various mobile assets such as a pickup truck in strongholds, suppress the uav control center, fpv drone takeoff points, mavic drone takeoff points, baba iga, we must complete the task at any time. alexey baranov, yuriy marchenko, khalit tankiev, donetsk and lugansk people's republics, the line of combat contact. the ministry of defense also published footage from the nikolaev region. the iskander m missile system struck a breached enemy position. thanks to the precise hit , important targets were eliminated: a command post, an american launcher, a transport and loading vehicle, several vehicles with ammunition, and a warehouse with ammunition. and this is footage of the work

of the 122-mm d-30 howitzer crews. they disrupted the landing of ukrainian infantry on the islands in the dnieper delta. during aerial reconnaissance , an enemy motorboat was discovered. in one of the command posts of the ministry defense vladimir putin held a meeting with the leadership of the joint group of troops. the president received reports from the chief of the general staff of the russian armed forces valery gerasimov and the chief of the main operations directorate of the general staff sergei rutskov. in addition, vladimir putin heard reports from the commanders of the troop groups on the operational situation in the areas entrusted to them via telephone. deputy prime minister marat khusnulin today assessed the implementation of national projects in the bryansk region. together with the head of the region alexander bagamaz,

he took part in the opening of the highway. it will connect the old part of bryansk with the new quarters. residents of novostroiki received another gift today. by the beginning of the school year, the builders handed over a new building. with local residents, the city, which suffered from shelling by the ukrainian military, is now being actively restored with the help of the federal center. housing is being built in full, roads are being repaired even with an excess, all planned objects are being built on time, that is there is a region living its normal life, i believe that the work has a lot to do with it.

the beginning of 1943, the whole world is holding its breath, watching the news from russia, near stalingrad the red army captured tens of thousands of german soldiers, but germany was still very strong, the furious hitler demands to destroy the soviet troops in the kursk area.

in early 1942. in the battle of moscow, the troops of nazi germany suffered their first serious defeat in world war ii. the germans came very close to the soviet capital, but they were unable to take it. thanks to the reserves that arrived in time, the red army

launched a powerful counterattack and pushed the wehrmacht away from moscow. the blitzkrieg plan failed. at that time, german engineers were hastily developing a new formidable weapon, a heavy tank, which, according to hitler's plan, was supposed to change the course of the entire war. the design of such a tank was presented to the fuhrer in the spring of 1942. the new vehicle was called the tiger. the tank had ten-centimeter frontal armor and an eighty-eight-millimeter cannon. according to calculations, the new tank was almost invulnerable. each tiger cost 800,000 reichsmarks to produce. this was significantly more expensive than any tank of the time.

the first tigers were sent to leningrad in august 1942. in many ways, the germans envied our t-34 tank, when they first encountered our t-34 en masse in the battle of moscow in 1941, they were shocked. they said that our tanks attacked a battery and crushed it. if the massive use of these tanks begins , the t-34, we can endure, as they said, local defeat, well in fact it was strategic, then defeated, the germans at that time they developed tiger-panther tanks, which were not, maybe maneuverable, than the t-34, no, they were heavy tanks, very well armored in terms of frontal armor and most importantly had an 88 mm gun, which was very effective against the medium tank 334. the soviet medium tank t-34 was inferior to the german innovations in firepower

and armor thickness, but was the most maneuverable tank in its class. in one campaign, the t-34 could overcome more than 400 km make up to 100 shots. enemy shells often simply bounced off the tank's sloping armor without causing any harm. v. in 1942, mass production of t-34 tanks was established at machine-building plants in the urals and siberia. in 1942, it must be said that we supplied the troops with 24,500 tanks, that is, we managed to mobilize our industry in 1942 in such a way that we were able to finally turn the war around and win under steel. surrendered and we began a wide

offensive, we liberated the northern caucasus, kuban, stavropol, reached the east of ukraine, approached donbass, liberated kurdsk, liberated belgorod, liberated kharkov. in march 1943, the red army's offensive in ukraine was stopped. the germans transferred reserves here from france and launched a surprise counterattack. they again occupied kharkov, belgorod and the adjacent territories. at the end of march, when the spring thaw began, wehrmacht units received orders to go on the defensive. the front froze in anticipation of summer. both the parties were preparing for a new battle, the main role in which... was to be played by tank troops, at that moment

this kursk salient was just formed, it was more than 300 km long along the front, it penetrated the german defense by 150 km, that is , it seemed to be self-evident for the german command to cut off this salient, to encircle our more than a million-strong group there as early as the spring of forty-third, and... then to advance either to moscow to again resolve the issue of war, or to the southwest, that is , again towards ukraine, perhaps to caucasus. in april 1943, hitler ordered the development of a plan to encircle soviet troops in the kursk area. he proposed cutting off the kursk salient with two attacks by tank armies in converging directions. northern.

said that luck should be on our side here, so from its strategic point of view, there was an absolutely well-thought-out plan here, but this, in fact, let the germans down, because the soviet command was not asleep, it understood perfectly well that an attack was possible here, then this was confirmed by intelligence data. on march 18, 1943 , a secret cipher was received in moscow from geneva, in which soviet intelligence officers from the dora group warned stalin that the germans were gathering large forces on the kursk bulge. this information was confirmed by british intelligence reports. the soviet side was expecting an offensive and information leaked through intelligence , primarily through the cambridge five, when german radiograms were read, and

this data turned out to be quite sufficient to build a german plan, that is, how it... on three fronts: in the north, central rakosovsky's front, in the south - vatutin's voronezh front. konev's steppe front stood at the base of the kursk salient. the generals argued about what to do, defend or attack. vatutin proposed not to wait for the germans to accumulate forces near kursk and to go on the attack first. stalin had the final say. he

decided to prepare for defense. there were arguments, hesitations, what if the germans break through our defense, there were such thoughts, it will turn out like in 1941, it's good when the decision was made to build defense so much rigid, so that they would not break through. in total, 1,3000 soviet soldiers were concentrated near kursk. the frontline zone was turned into a huge fortress. the defense line consisted of three strips of trenches, anti-tank ditches, and antitank obstacles. in some areas, the depth of the fortification line reached tens of kilometers. the main problem of our defense was the lack of heavy artillery. soviet light guns were useless against

the new german tanks, and new heavy guns had only just entered production at the beginning of battles clearly did not have time, then it was decided to use new defense tactics. if earlier anti-tank guns were built in one line along the front, now they were combined into anti-tank strong points, ptops. each point included up to twenty guns. the guns could fire in all directions. the distance between the strong points...

hitler's main hope was the new german tanks. in addition to the tigers, the ferdinand self-propelled gun

and the panther medium tank were brought here for the first time. these armored vehicles were almost invulnerable to our guns and tanks. by the beginning of july , 134 tigers, 190 panthers and 90 ferdinand guns had entered the german army near kursk. at that moment, the german army strained all its forces and capabilities, and the number of german troops on the soviet-german front rose even slightly above the level of june 22, 1941, that is, the germans raised everyone they could to arms. the stake was still on the newest models of weapons. if the tiger tank had already managed to visit the soviet-german...

the goal was to psychologically deal a serious blow to red army, because no one had ever seen such tanks, they were very powerful, so fresh and very well armed in this sense. tiger t6, what is it? this is 100 mm frontal armor, which our gun could not penetrate, even at close range with frontal armor, we could our t-34 and 76 mm, our gun, only either from the side, or with the power of this tank. and he tiger 88 mm guns our tank destroyed the t-34 kv at a distance of 2 km. this was a significant advantage. on july 10

, the command of the red army sucked up a special order to all fronts to fight the german tanks. it contained detailed instructions on how to destroy enemy armored vehicles. there were already such brochures then. either leaflets were made, where the new german tanks were already shown, and how they should be hit? certainly, if with an anti-tank load, either in the viewing slit, or from behind it, yes, or the side armor, because it is difficult to penetrate the frontal armor, how to throw grenades there, yes, what about in a minefield, if they are blown up, how to destroy it with molotov cocktails, anti-tank artillery, when the german tanks went, many fighters, well, thank god, yes, here we go, well , now we will do them there, that is , there was such courage too. from the first minutes of the offensive , german tanks began to be massively blown up by soviet mines. the germans tried to clear.

it did not help. soviet sappers made their way through the minefields with radio-controlled tankettes, but they installed mines right in the line of fire on the path of enemy equipment. anti-tank mines tore the tracks and turned combat vehicles into a motionless pile of scrap metal. the main enemy of the heavy tiger tanks were mines. the kurdish space the protrusion was intensive. nominated, the count was in the tens of thousands of mines, as a result of this, what happened, what with the tigers, what with the panthers? explosions on mines are not an irretrievable loss, this is only damage to the chassis, but the tank does not go further, does not participate in the battle, this is a conveyor, when german sappers are forbidden to work, with machine gun fire and artillery they force tanks to break through minefields they are blown up, and after, again, when someone broke through, they tried

to shoot at the side. having suffered heavy losses in the first hours of the battle, the germans decided to attack the most vulnerable areas of the soviet defense. model sent all available reserves to the area of ​​the village of alkhavatka and the panyri station. near alkhavatka, the german column was met by soviet tanks hidden in trenches. the german offensive was stopped. all the remaining tigers and ferdinands were thrown into breaking through the soviet defense at the panyri railway station. this village changed hands several times. here, the german tanks were surrounded by soviet artillery regiments and were forced to begin regrouping. at this time , soviet guns were shooting at them in their most

vulnerable spots. the main support in the north was artillery, a typical tactic based, among other things, on the active use of radio communications, this is such a bordering of the head of the advancing german tank group from two sides, so to take it in a pincer of artillery from the flanks, that is, there were so-called flirting guns that fired from afar, drew fire on themselves, the enemy turned and moved towards them. so that is called, to get closer, to shoot, crush. at that moment other guns fired from the flanks, and from about 300-400 m, soviet guns sisters, especially since they went already in the summer of forty-three en masse, accumulative subcaliber shells, and it was possible to hit the tigers in the side, and here under the pantry on the northern face, where the arkasovsky team knocked out this striking power in just a few days, 200 tanks remained to

the mountain. there on the northern face of the newest tanks, and the germans began to go over to the defense, i am a traveler, an aeronaut, and so we are coming out ties, what a fairy tale without ...

no longer where you, fool, want, where you need to go, i can’t live without traveling, flint, he who has flint in his pocket doesn’t need a pen, soon!
