september 24, 2022 was an ordinary day for the crew of the su-34 fighter bomber pyotr kashtanov and dmitry koptilov, they came to work and received a task. needs to be worked out. everyone began to prepare for the flight to draw up a route to work out. in fact, the unloading went to accept the aircraft mission. on a combat mission. they raised their duckling, the sky is so

hatches. navigator dmitry smoked, nikolaevich addresses him respectfully. he is a little older than his commander, peter respects and trusts him. well, peter, he's just in his time, he he served an urgent service, that is , he already had experience in this regard, therefore, well, he quickly grasps everything while he grasps now. everything, that is, respectively.

what can i say? well, i'm already saying this. the weather was a million to a million, we had to cover our tongue in the kharkov direction. height works need. worked, walked along the route , bypassed the obstacles that were encountered on the street towers, there and so on. we reached the target

and worked for the specified time. completely unloaded. went on the return route they began to perform an uh maneuver at an extremely low altitude, well, at the moment when they began to retreat and felt the impact on the plane, then the time was very fleeting. that is , as if there were fractions of a second of the decision. with a negative g

whole on the parachute wanted to grab, the risers the feeling of the right hand presence at the risers was to pay attention to it. i see it hanging here. i immediately realized that i was getting without a hand already. landed assessed the situation threw off the us and ran.

the situation was oriented to the cardinal points, which way should we go? eh, and running up to the navigator helped him unfasten himself. i tried to get up with a suspension system, but i couldn’t get up. as if it turned out to be a compression fracture of the spine, that is, there, well, plus the hand is still mentally raising your hand, but in fact, it just hangs, said, peter, go away , leave me, here i say go away, drop it because i am visiting. it was just that the thought immediately appeared that together we could not just, but at least one would come out, see the territory, because i felt that it would be hard to walk and i i will be a burden to go. i took it all and dragged it.

eh, as he could with his hand. he no longer had to think in his head, there was no way to leave. he just lifted me up easily and we are together on our own benefits that the legs will be. legs put yourself on painkillers. well, just roughly speaking, they hid and hid in a matter of minutes. a group of headhunters arrived at the crash site of a special banderite detachment, tracking the fall of our dryer on pickup trucks,

pilots of the russian aerospace forces rushed for the prize - this is a tempting prey. in the same movie heard the sound people started shouting something there our guys imagined the place, so they lay and looked at each other. it will be even worse. hunters scattered sophia

rushed in search of our heroes. the moment when we realized that it was not our troops who came to pick us up, we realized that it was the soldiers of the armed forces who shouted the russians to come out to him, we will catch you, uh, and so on. we quieted down. uh, i took out a grenade and twisted the fuse. the grenade got a seagull. i squeezed her between us put my hand. they began to wait further and further in the hope that we would be frightened.

with a machine gun fully loaded about seven meters five from us. they prayed, they prayed, but thoughts did not pray. to live it was probably the most terrible moment. which is going through scrolls.

when the artillery began to work, ours in this place scared them away, scared the campaigners. they ran away and began to wool to look for us in other places, but also voices. we continued to hear at a distance of about 100-150 meters. they were about us, and nikolaevich said, probably, we'll live longer, and then the artillery put the wheel back in, probably worked for another hour, probably there, that is, such moments began shelling with small arms from some kind, that is, the same thing in the bushes . in our bushes in this swamp, the pilots lay for a long 5 hours and only when it got dark moved to both have their own path of damage

to the right hand. nikolayevich, yes, plus there is also a compression fracture of the spine. it began to get dark darkness and we went to the east it was warm, the sun shone all day, but by the evening it was cold, well, closer to 3:00 am it already went cold. there, in the fields with forests along the landings on the road, they tried, as if not to go out, plus, even after the rains, to fly. this one, and the land there is good fat, that is, there is still on the boots plus 5 kg to drink, i really wanted to. i don't know, maybe it's all emotional plus painkillers plus. this is what was all about knowing.

peter kashtanov an ordinary guy from the russian outback was born in khabarovsk but grew up in the tambov region, where his parents moved . a few years later, peter is the younger in the family, there are two more sisters and a brother from childhood, a boy,

dreamed of becoming a pilot and the dream was not born by chance near the village of zherdyovka, where they lived, there was a military airfield, they ran to look at these planes. here , strong beautiful fighter aircraft that explode into the sky perform aerobatics of incredible beauty and complexity . i want to be a pilot director, cosmonauts like that. the main thing is that there is a dream, and it happened to peter with an instrument.

peter stormed the reception room several times. the flight school commission, but the time came for army service, he got into the tank troops, on his return he again tried to enter the flying sky, beckoned, it did not work out, then there was the ordinary life of a young man from the provinces. i worked at a factory looking for myself, then another attempt at admission. the third , then again, and then there was a period of life so twisted that you suddenly found yourself in moscow at the bar. mixed cocktails and poured beer. it turned out. here it is, a bright life, the capital of different people skillfully, but there is a sky. the sky is like a dream that you follow all the way life. and stubbornly consistently achieve its incarnations, the krasnodar territory entered.

this is the best job in the world. i will recover and continue my flying activities. why fly there one's own life, everything is different there; there is one's own family, real people in this profession. frank people who will support you at any moment will help real people.

restless man nikolaevich although outwardly calm, laconic, a real navigator who loves the sky and his profession to pave the way. i myself am a village boy, and we especially and we have a special choice, then there, as well as my uncle is a military man. here he advised

saying, why not. let's try, okay so the opportunity was coming. we served in belarus and they came to visit us with my aunt, and i took him to the airfield and put him in the cockpit. he still remembers , he says, i say he was sitting in the cockpit and says a combat aircraft. and it was the yak 28. now it's rare now, years ago, he explained where the gas is and where the control knob is. there, of course, there are many devices of all kinds of switches. him eyes there lit up in their native village school. nikolaevich finished with good and excellent marks. at the family council, they decided that it would be good for dima to be a pilot. from the first time he entered the chelyabinsk higher military command school of navigators and studied well, usually. in appearance , there are many reliable and experienced people of our vks. i

have determined one thing in my life in the service, if a person is a good one, he is a good pilot. so , it happens, of course, people are not very good and they are not very good pilots, but for me, everything is all ice and the composition of any heroes, because i so i can imagine how to fly at such speeds to understand tasks and so on, i can’t imagine how all the heroes are for me as a terrestrial and they are actually traits they have such traits at any moment to be ready and it’s not all about awards. it's not about this very person to his work to his service, therefore yes, even not a single kashnik, not a single just guys are all cool, everyone who is in the armed forces.

after an 8-hour route , the pilots had almost no strength left to go further and decided to rest. at least an hour was very useful in this case the so-called saved blanket. big

words of gratitude to caring people who help aviation, for example, the same kits that warmed us, it happens to be found on fires, and so on, the film shows plastic bags, not bags. and how are they properly warming film. it took us about an hour to warm up. now we’ll get up, lie down, get warm and it’s already beginning to get light around 4:30. we also had a monocle with us, that is, we could still see the approach and identify our troops 3-4 km ahead. v first of all because we just like that. sacrifice yourself. well, just because he doesn’t do anything, roughly speaking, well, how would motivation

be, that the family motivation was peter ahead, he motivated the water he had , therefore, well, really. yes, as if they supported each other and wanted to return home in the first place. i just returned home at that time, the officers came, happiness, reassured my wife and said that so far there is no information that they died. three or four hours later , they only informed our families that such the situation, well, like to tune in, as if there is no point yet, because there is still no information confirmed what is where? alive alive perished not perished. that is, as if such

a situation, my mother, found out somewhere through the second day. i told her, well, shared that it happened. i got out a little bit. i fell off the plane and injured my hand. then the next day. she already learned from others, er already. became, but she said, immediately you cheat on something the hardest thing after sex. try to save by deceit. and they walked to our posts was more than 10 kilometers. they had to somehow get through with broken arms with a broken spine at the navigator . they walked and walked with their maximum covertly, without

betraying themselves. well, we understood that when we had already moved kilometers, and i understand that we had moved to our side, but it had already become mentally easier. in the morning, the pilots went to some farmhouse with several hangar houses. what are the parts here? whose side is unknown? we approached the village. nikolaevich remained waiting. uh. i came closer so that our troops are no longer our troops, and so on. and a tanker in a helmet, he looked at mine like that

side, but did not see. well, i went further to the hangar. it just kind of sank a little in my head, in my opinion, our tankers were in black overalls, and this one was in green, that is. well, something is wrong. maybe it seemed to me that i heard the equipment start up. well, it turned out to start to leave, so it was not sure that our identification marks were not. then when she turned around. i saw the other stern. well, as if my heart had already felt better, but still there was no certainty that it was ours, well, peter waited for this moment they saw in the distance a man who looked like

a pensioner, then he went to the house. hello father. hello, where are the russians here? yes, there are russian fathers everywhere. give me some water to drink. everyone drank some water and asked if there were any of our troops here in the village. he said yes there is an artist. we asked him to take our grandfather, he did not come in himself. he's so far away guys anyone. come out here, how many people were all out. they are. where are you from? we came from there. then they took us to the evacuation point. today is the worst for them already

behind. ahead of the week are months of treatment and rehabilitation. not the one nor the other, despite the experience, they do not want to part with the sky. only, probably, the attitude to life has changed after everything that happened next, you need to take advantage of it. i don’t know, change some stereotypes and somehow, maybe something. if there was something bad, remove it all and start a new clean life , i was raised by my parents, who nevertheless grew up in the soviet union, who saw it all, who survived it all, that's all , they experienced it, they told me how it was somehow maybe somehow the parents didn’t become in the first place because they are for the right

upbringing also at their school, where the teachers instilled in us to press the elders, listen to them , listen with such people are very interesting and accept their experience. i mean, what else can i say? i just asked him, not too early. maybe you'll still live? well, he says you have to do it. but nikolaevich now he is not just a navigator for you. this is my brother already the eldest

, first of all, thanks to him, then that 's really it. so it happened that we alive and well with him, it's thanks to him. he has already become like a brother to me, so there have always been relatives, because the team in aviation of people is always frankly complex.
