with arkady mamontov’s documentary from the series and there was an incident in the war, today it hero, tank battalion commander, major ivan dadosov, who ensured a breakthrough in the defense. opponents will be saved in february 2022 . the hero of our story today is the commander of a tank battalion, ivan dadosov, he managed to carry out a brilliant tactical operation,

commanding only three tanks, destroyed 10, was able to force the enemy to leave their positions and retreat, thereby winning time in the battle, giving the opportunity to... the troops to go forward, in in february of the twenty-second year, his tank battalion received the task of taking the city of popasnoe, but ran into serious enemy resistance. on february 23, the task was received; at that time i was the commander of a tank battalion; the task was received to break through the enemy’s defenses. was located in the ugan direction, near the settlement of popasno, at that time it was the largest settlement that was occupied by the enemy, and of course, the liberation of this settlement was very significant in all matters, there was a prepared defense

that had been prepared for more than one year , it took about 8 years to prepare, and there was a buffer the so-called zone, which was between our units, was 5 km. these 5 km were sown over these many years with all kinds of rubble, minefields, the best road that connected us with the enemy, it was an asphalt road, it was the only road that was not washed out and passable for any type of equipment, including tanks, and there was no how could there be any way to go other than this asphalt road? look, guys, we’re moving out of this initial area.

after they opened fire on him, accordingly, the enemy withdrew all his firing points, a decision was immediately made, not as quietly as we wanted, but with a full fire move, to make, let’s say, a corridor to simply demolish everything that is in its path, including this checkpoint, this is called a tank we have a breakthrough, for which the command was received to make a tank carousel with the remaining 14 pairs. according to the concept of a tank carousel, when some vehicles are working their shift, others are already approaching their shift in order to continue and not stop this fire - shooting, shooting does not stop for a minute, without giving the enemy the opportunity to catch his breath, for about 2.5 hours they carried out targeted fire,

destroying and exposing all the firing points on this line, then the enemy used everything he had at that moment... opening fire and artillery, this was all done with the goal of preventing us from breaking through in this sector, while each of the crew not only carried out their task clearly and quickly, coherence, ingenuity, yekaterburg, i kazan, reception, and also observation of where they were hitting from were important. where they’re shooting from, where the enemy is, where the ambush is, commands were transmitted down the chain instantly, everything was accepted, let’s quickly work on the enemy, the crew comes out and is already marking somewhere around here like this, well, they were firing at me, well, about there is a large machine gun , approximately here, from

the same pocket , a grenade launcher was constantly firing, although more than once we... got there, well, we didn’t understand, there was something immortal there or something, why fire was always coming from there, although getting into this from our side - was in this pocket, on the first day, but we didn’t... it didn’t work out, we didn’t understand, just why the fire didn’t stop, just imagine, 15 pairs are firing in the area up to 500 m along the line, there for every meter literally a shell lands, someone else shoots from there in response, well, it’s just to give it its due, no matter how strong it is. personally, i had no explanation to myself as to what was

happening there, that they didn’t stop shooting from there, it was a shock, of course, they hit us too. at that time , out of thirty machines that were in perfect working order, only well, about 12, 10-12, everything else, unfortunately, was knocked out for us, somewhere we still needed time to recover, the only thing is that i am of course glad that every single one of the personnel remained intact. the commander, making a decision, proceeds from the fact that he needs to complete the task, while saving people, but also not being left without equipment and ammunition. already in the evening, when we gathered, we began to weigh our forces and means, let’s call

it what to do next, the enemy does not give the opportunity to pass, yes, what to do, and there was such a decision. how to get to it, at least to it, which the maps allowed, it will no longer be the front line, but somewhere there will already be a path from the left flank, at that moment it will be easier to get out. on the enemy, that is, on the flank, than on a frontal attack, you know, they say, you can’t go into the water twice, we, too, in

principle, learn from the same tricks, textbooks, that once it worked the first time, the second time there is no point in sticking there, here the same opinion, the enemy will think the same thing, it won’t stop us that we didn’t succeed the first time, so the decision was made that let's distract, stretch out the process of a frontal attack as long as possible. already with three cars, which were prepared for this task, to try to make this path in the forest belt, they managed to make the path, but they overdid it a little. we didn’t go to this intersection, but a little further, because well, there are few landmarks in the forest, it turned out

that we went a little bit not to the flank, but a little bit, where three of our tanks worked almost at the tank level, which was unexpected for the enemy, it was that we left at three cars, also for us, and we didn’t even understand at that time how many cars there were, such a, let’s say, tank began.

doesn’t understand how many enemies lose their bearings and panic. so ivan dadosov managed to unwind an entire tank company with three tanks using a carousel. and these are 10 enemy combat vehicles. you know, the enemy not only cannot understand, he does not understand how many machines are working. and when for you without stopping again. that it was luck or an exact cold calculation, probably all together? professionalism tank battalion commander ivan dodosov helped the unit solve the assigned task and even exceed it, as they will later write in the combat report of that day. it’s all so fast, it all happens suddenly, when you’re completely out of the fight, only then the realization begins to come that

it really worked out. the so-called bait played its role, it’s just that no one there even cared about what was happening on... the enemy’s flank in the forest, dexterity, it’s cunning, it’s like a card game, after the battle, when they began to count the losses, it turned out that our tankers were all alive, we came out without losses, all three vehicles, that is , it’s worth a lot, but after we had already completely penetrated this defense we went to the first street, well there the guys no longer needed motivation, comrade officers, you were faced with a difficult task, it was a difficult battle for all of us. “well, you coped with it, thank you, this is not the merit of one person, it is the merit of everyone, everyone who made a small contribution there gave one huge the result was that the enemy’s defense could not stand it and cracked, which subsequently made it possible to liberate the popasny settlement, and a couple of months later the city of lesnechansk was liberated, we also participated in the liberation of this

city, we reached the historical borders of the luganda people’s republic at that ..." often asked at events, even in schools by children, i say, imagine, you just got up for school, woke up, your mother made breakfast for you there, you ate, so you go to school and sit down, everything is fine here, here you are sit, study, i say, and now imagine that now you are sitting, it will fly here, fly there, while you are walking to school, something somewhere will explode, this is this,

that’s when it dawns on them that god forbid we will have it, right here because of this we started there so that... it wouldn’t happen here. ivan dadosov graduated from the kazan higher tank command order of zhukov school. this educational institution is today called the forge of officer personnel. the traditions of russian and then soviet military science have been preserved here. the school remembers and is proud of ivan dodosov your graduate. we not only remember, we give an example about our heroes of the russian federation. and i must tell you that it’s not so easy to learn from us, look at the hardware, this hardware, he studied it, mastered it, he didn’t just master it, he studied its combat use, he studied the tactics of use, this knowledge that we give them we give here, allows them to gain victory over the enemy, over the enemy. today he is a student

at the army academy, this higher educational institution graduates commanders. those who must truly be able to lead, many of the academy's students are officers with combat experience; this obliges the students themselves and their mentors to do a lot. there are no ordinary people here, everyone studies here, well, probably 95% who passed through the hot spots, i remember how now, when i first came to him, he is a major, he is a hero with a star, in his group there are all military officers , many people there have an order of masculinity and so on, well, i just had the perception that a hero is something... someone, you know, with whom you just can’t talk, it turns out here, that the heroes are the same as us, you see, ivan is a very open, calm person, reasonable, ivan alekseevich and i talked about how he feels, how he feels being the commander of a tank battalion there, ivan alekseevich looked at so, well, he said to me that i know my crew, i know my tank, i

know my neighbors from right to left, i know what i’m doing, fear and anxiety goes away. and you are dedicated to completing your task, the more he told me about some life examples and how he acted there and it is clear that the man is a professional, a professional, this is a high title, and ivan bedosov deserved it, he knows everything about the disadvantages and advantages of his favorite t-72 tank, how to maneuver, how to load, how to repair, how to leave -under fire, the tank is absolutely simple, why is it... my favorite, very simple, namely in repair and maintenance, plus ease of control, namely the control system, both for the gunner operator and... a tank is a complex combat vehicle, its you must love and respect, then he will not let you down critical situation. i always answered like this:

there is nothing more terrible than a russian crew sitting in any car, of any brand, but of our production. after ivan dodosov was awarded the gold medal of the hero of russia at the kazan airport, he was met by hundreds of fellow countrymen, he did not expect this. everyone was there, there were people from kazansky, and representatives of the president’s office, and the head of the district in which i grew up, relatives, all the brothers, cousins, second cousins, for about an hour and a half we could not leave the airport because we were congratulating the orchestra from kazan tank, well, this is actually my native school, i didn’t expect it here. why has the military always been and is revered in russia, why do we call them the elite of our fatherland. during

ceremonial parades on red square in soviet times, a special feeling is now evoked by the even, ruler-like formation of ceremonial boxes, marching officers in gold shoulder straps. these shots were taken on red square 40 years ago. students of military academies. are marching in ceremonial parade, and this is already the 21st century, the parade is may 9, 2023, in what families did these guys grow up, who are they raised, gave the right instructions and a compass for the path of life, from ivan dodosov... this is the father of alexei anatolyevich and the mother of tatyana nikolaevna, he was short all his life , from kindergarten, we bought him a uniform, in the first grade, he was in the fifth grade he went to them,

he graduated from school, he was short, he was , well, a real tanker, in school he stood tall, girls carried him under their arms, and he still has one girl, well, classmate marina, they are still friends, she has been all her life she took him by the neck like that and... dragged him everywhere around the school, he was very small, but everyone at school loved him, if he sets a goal, he will achieve it, and for him, if he sat here, like people sit for three, five hours, doing homework, he would probably be some kind of scientist , and he was 5 minutes, he heard, he saw, he had everything done, and ivan was constantly involved in sports at school, running, skiing, football, and not only because... to grow up, but simply because the desire winning and leadership qualities are cultivated in a person along with his attitude towards everyone around him, towards the world, the decision to enter

tank was not spontaneous, rather family, collegial, well, somehow we discussed it, decided to offer the whole family, he says, okay, let's go, the jackpot is 400 people, he recruits 600, well, just for survival, they give a week so that a person realizes examined. a teacher from god, and ivan alekseevich, he

is apparently a warrior from god, he is apparently precisely god who sent him to this earth, to protect russia, family, people, no matter who vanya becomes, regardless of who he is today , he will always remain a younger brother to me. and i always want to protect him, you know, although sometimes it’s probably stupid on my part, he can make decisions himself and make decisions not only for himself, but for quite a large number of people, there are different professions, there is such a profession, not everyone can wear shoulder straps to defend their homeland, but if a person wears shoulder straps consciously, does that mean the person already has an aspiration, a desire? with all the ensuing consequences, those close to ivan dodosov, like himself, today often have to answer the question: what are they fighting for? our guys, for what values, mother’s answer.

the hero is simple and understandable, and i pray to god all the time and say, lord, help them guys, everyone, they say, a mother’s prayer goes to the mallet, although in our youth we were not taught about god and everything else, you come to this with time, life it forces me, let’s say, when there was a stink there, well, they were afraid of something, or something, i woke up at exactly 2 o’clock, i don’t know why. i started praying, and then i found out that they were going into battle or something, well, they weren’t on a walk, they weren’t on vacation, they were fighting every minute, but i i felt when vanya was having a hard time, i felt it, well, yes, i have such a dream, you know, that the svo ends quickly, that there are no such warriors and that everyone, everyone, all

men, hero of russia and professional, officer of the russian army, ivan alekseevich dodosov. it's easy to get caught up in the facts when you only see part of the big picture. chasing views changes entire locations, it's easy to do.

russian units liberated the village of semeonovka in the dpr. our troops continue to occupy more advantageous positions and are pushing the enemy from the position. burnt and the line of combat contact is literally littered with damaged enemy equipment. some valuable examples of nato production are being evacuated to replenish the exhibition on poklonnaya hill in moscow. the first abrams tank was delivered.
