Interesting moments from the professional life of the military.

Our legendary commander prompted me to create this topic .. Alexander Vasilyevich ... I hope you do not need to give his name, so it’s clear that Suvorov. Therefore, I’ll start with him.
So,

November 24, 1730 Alexander was born
Vasilievich Suvorov (1730—
1800) - the national hero of Russia,
the great Russian commander, not
injured not a single defeat in his
military career (over 60 battles), one
from the founders of Russian military art. Prince of Italy (1799), Count of Rymnik
(1789), Count of the Holy Roman Empire,
generalissimo of Russian land and
naval forces, field marshal
Austrian and Sardinian troops, grand
Sardinian kingdom and prince of royal blood (with the title "cousin
King "), holder of all Russian orders
of their time, presented to men, and
also many foreign military
orders. (However, A.V. treated the awards very calmly, he undoubtedly deserved the best that was at that time and this is a fact)

Alexander Vasilievich was a man of great intelligence and humor, which cannot go unnoticed: After the first few battles, as commander of the Austrian troops, Suvorov in German turned to Prince Esterhazy:
“I ask you to inform the emperor that I am pleased with the troops of His Majesty. They fight almost as good as the Russians. ”
The Austrians must have been skewed by such a recall. In a word, we have someone to be proud of!

Well, and a few more interesting related stories:
The secret to the success of the Russian Wars When analyzing the Second World War,
american military historians
discovered a very interesting fact. AND
namely: in a sudden collision with
by Japanese forces Americans tend to
made decisions much faster and, as a result, even superior ones won
enemy forces. Having examined this
pattern, scientists concluded
what's the average word length in Americans
is 5.2 characters, while the Japanese
10.8 and, therefore, it takes 56% less time to issue orders, which in
short battle plays an important role.
For the sake of interest, they analyzed
Russian speech, and it turned out that the word length
in Russian is 7.2 characters per
the word (on average), however, in critical situations, the Russian-language command
composition goes to non-normative
vocabulary and word length is reduced to ... 3.2
characters in the word. This is due to the fact that
some phrases and even phrases
are replaced by ONE word. For example, the phrase “32nd! fuck ... not for that
h..yu ", which meant -" 32nd order
destroy an enemy tank immediately
firing at our positions "

You never know, someone will come in handy.
How to behave in a combat zone (from a conversation with commandos taking part in hostilities in Chechnya):
- Survival in a duel is when you are alive
at the exit". If possible intact and
unharmed. Injury or injury reduces
chances of survival. Minimize
degree of defeat of oneself beloved by all
affordable means. Of two evils choose the less.
- Survival is achieved not only
timely defeat of the enemy, but also
leaving from under his fire (not to be confused with
flight). Sometimes it’s more important to protect yourself,
how to hit the enemy. - Heroism alone - often payback for
gouging others. Farther from
gouging - less likely to become a hero ...
posthumously. (God bless those whose work -
risking life, raking someone else's ...)
- Do not point your weapon at a person if you are not going to shoot him. Suddenly he
upset, but not afraid. Must
shoot, but you're not ready. Uncomfortable may
get it ...
- Do not confuse readiness for shooting with
the desire to shoot at a live target. - Do not forget about standard measures
security - they are also not out of the finger
sucked out.
- In case of a real threat - crouch and
shift to one side before reaching for
weapons, or do it at the same time. Better to be alive and without weapons than
full of holes with a trunk.
- Whenever possible, try to control
situation around (rear and flanks). Not
know how many of your opponents and where
they, especially if you entered the shootout unexpectedly.
- "Neutral" present at
a shootout can also be
dangerous. Stressful attack of heroism and
the same stressful definition of "own-
stranger "- and you can become another lucky person who has experienced
the effect of receiving the "spring from the tractor
"Belarus"…
- If you think you hit the target, it’s not
means that it is so. And the great
are mistaken ... - If you still got it - this does not mean that
the goal is no longer able to act.
You didn’t shoot from a howitzer, did you?
- Know the human anatomy in volume,
necessary for understanding the reaction
for injuries. You cannot shoot too much, and it’s more difficult to deceive you ...
- Know the places of guaranteed defeat
goals for the entire range of tasks - from stopping
movement to destruction. And do not confuse
them…
- Approach the defeated target carefully and from the side, which in case of malicious intent
"unfinished" will make him do
some preliminary movements,
before he can see you and
point a weapon at you. Make him
hold out ... - Do not let the enemy be
between you and your partner. Vrazhina
unlimited in shooting, and you
can fly from his own sidekick. “Don’t go out on the partner’s line of fire.”
The extra hole in the ass from constipation is not
cure ...
- Control the space in front and behind
the adversary. Remember: the bullet doesn't pick
the victim - the shooter is aiming a weapon ... The shooter is also responsible for the actions.
- In most cases, valid
rule: I do not see - I do not shoot. Behind the door
may be ours, but behind the enemy -
innocent ...
- In order not to be bored in the shootout - count the shots, yours and the adversary. Suddenly at
he will run out of ammunition, and he ask
shy. And about your ammunition
you may be surprised: I kind of fired twice
and they don’t exist ... Consider: how much I charged,
how many shot. - Remember the "7 + 9" rule. Cartridge in
chamber when replacing the store ...
- Do not carry bullets in bulk. Sterility
in pockets or pouches under a large
a question. You will sit and dust and sand
blow out instead of charging. This is in a combat situation! ..
- When loading the magazine, hold cartridges in
non-firing hand. Suddenly - "tanks due
angle "? Need to shoot, and where to put ammunition
will you?
- The store has inserted - check. Don’t hope for a click - you never know
firefight ... - Do not drop the empty store. Take care
materiel - can be useful in the same battle. - Misfire, ran out of ammo, shift
store - to sit down (down and to the side),
preferably for
shelter. Or "dump" - When loading and replacing the store
look around and not at cartridges and / or
shop - control the situation. - Do not confuse the concept of "hide" and
to take refuge.

Embarrassment.

Confusion occurred during a visit
the capital of Venezuela - Caracas
Russian cruiser "Peter the Great".
A salvo from the shore was
the ship’s wheelhouse is scratched.
The return salvo was demolished half of Caracas.

ps this is a joke, don’t be scared .. although ...

****
Several Russian marines were
sent to exchange experiences in Los
Angeles Police Department and were
sent to police support on
a call about a shop robbery.
At the crime scene, the policeman told the marines to "cover" him when he would
go to the store (for the police,
"cover up" means to direct the weapon at
side of the possible danger for
Marines means "cover with fire").
The Marines began shelling the store. They managed to fire 178 rounds before
than they managed to stop them.
The robber was obviously a little scared. is he
911 called and yelled: "They are in me
shoot! "

This is more than heroism.
On August 6, 1915, at 4 am, a dark green fog of a mixture of chlorine and bromine flowed to the Russian positions, reaching them in 15 minutes. The defenders of the fortress did not have gas masks. The German artillery reopened massive fire, following the fire shaft and gas cloud, 14 battalions of the ladder moved to storm the Russian forward positions, which was no less than seven thousand foot soldiers. After the gas attack, hardly more than a hundred defenders remained alive. But when the German chains approached the trenches, a thick-green chlorine mist fell upon them ... a counterattack Russian infantry.
The sight was terrifying: the soldiers went into the bayonet with their faces wrapped in rags, shaking from a terrible cough, literally spitting out pieces of their lungs on the bloodied tunics. These were the remains of the 13th company of the 226th infantry Zemlyansky regiment, a little more than 60 people. But they plunged the enemy into such horror that the German infantry, not accepting the battle, rushed back, trampling each other and hanging on their own wire fences. And it began to hit them with Russian batteries shrouded in chlorine clubs, it seemed already dead Russian artillery. Several dozen half-dead Russian fighters took flight of three German infantry regiments !!! World military art did not know anything like this. This battle will go down in history as the "attack of the dead."

this is the same Russian fortress Osovets.

Russian soldiers through the eyes of the Germans (1941):
• “During the attack, we stumbled upon a light Russian T-26 tank, we immediately clicked it directly from the 37-graph paper. As we began to approach, a Russian came out of the hatch of the tower waist-high and opened fire on us with a pistol. It soon became clear that he was without legs, they were torn off when the tank was hit. And despite this, he fired at us with a pistol! ” / Gunner of anti-tank guns /

• “We almost did not take prisoners, because the Russians always fought to the last soldier. They did not give up. They cannot be hardened with ours ... ”/ Tanker of Army Group“ Center ”/

• “The quality level of Soviet pilots is much higher than expected ... Fierce resistance, its mass character does not correspond to our initial assumptions” / Major General Hoffmann von Waldau /

• “I have never seen anyone meaner than these Russians. Real chain dogs! You never know what to expect from them. And where do tanks and everything else come from? ” / One of the soldiers of Army Group Center /

• “The behavior of the Russians, even in the first battle, was strikingly different from the behavior of the Poles and allies who were defeated on the Western Front. Even being in the circle of encirclement, the Russians stubbornly defended themselves. ” / General Gunther Blumentritt, Chief of Staff of the 4th Army /
