On February 3, Romanov received the task of performing a familiarization flight, - Alexander Petrov, colonel of the Russian Aerospace Forces, commander of the mixed aviation regiment, told Andrey Malakhov in Syria. - Behind him, at a distance of 150 - 200 meters, his wingman flew. There was some cloudiness, which prevented inspection of the given area. The pilot decided to go beyond the clouds. And then the wingman observed the trail from the launched rocket. Roman said in a calm voice: "Yes, they hit me, and they hit me seriously." After assessing the condition of the aircraft, Roman realized that both engines had failed, and decided to eject. Our plane was shot down by mercenaries armed with NATO MANPADS, trained and sponsored by the United States. Further, they were going to persuade Roman to publicly betray Russia or, in order to intimidate the Russians, the Russian people, tear our pilot to pieces under the cameras. That's what they filmed for. By order of the US military. Pentagon military commanders love to shoot Russians in person and post on the Internet ...
The guests at the studio agreed that the video recorded by the mercenaries on the phone and last words hero, give a special urgency to experiences. On the phrase "This is for you boys!" a new generation will grow up, for which in life values the main thing will not be glamor and money, but the Russian Fatherland.
From the program: "It seems that we are fighting on the wrong side." Why did footage from Syria make the British question London's policies? The school in Voronezh is now named after Roman Filipov. What did he remember teachers and classmates? The answers are on Live. Here are the questions.
But the questions are completely logical: Who and why filmed the last minutes of the life of the surrounded Roman on the phone? Who provided the terrorists with MANPADS that shot down our pilot? What are US troops doing in Syria without an invitation? How to prevent the death of our guys in the future? Why does Russia not set the task of freeing Syria from foreign interventionists? But there are no answers - in "Live" and the real questions themselves are not asked on the externally controlled Russian television. Moreover, the interrogation was staged live: "Should Roman give up or not ?!"
In blessed memory of the pilot of the Su-25SM attack aircraft
Major Roman Filipov
The downed 25th burns on the slope -
A fragment of the Motherland among the Syrian rocks...
Three stores, APS, grenade -
And this is my entire formidable arsenal.
They beat in bursts - not aiming:
The cartridges, apparently, they have nowhere to put.
But the enemies are unaware that the OFFICER
They cannot take a live prisoner.
I snap with a shot and obscenity -
Such a tactic ... A minute's smoke break ...
Already ready to detonate a grenade -
If only I could pull out the check...
It's a shame, yes ... I will not hide my sin:
I would like to do more...
But here, now, behind a rocky pile,
I know for sure, brothers: WE WILL LIVE!!!
A pack of bearded men flickers closer,
Smell lost ... Stumbled by chance ...
Now it's time for my grenade...
BACK TO THE SKY... HOMELAND FAREWELL!
Tamara, G.K. Zhukov are also from the common people, not from the oligarchs.
So you answered Andromeda that you have already divided the Ukrainian people. Who exactly shared? And what ideas did some have and what ideas did others have that divided this people??
Or do you think that the Veterans of the Second World War in Ukraine should obey the new rules and new laws, where the St. George ribbon is banned?! Those. silently watch how the old nits from the Sonderkommandos who took part in mass executions march through the streets of Kyiv, and their descendants with a swastika should spit on the graves of our WWII soldiers, burn civilians in Odessa, and do you think we should silently look at this ???
About ideas in countries. Denmark already has municipal areas, where the banal Christmas trees in the squares are banned, where the people, the indigenous inhabitants of Denmark, are forbidden to decorate their windows with Christmas garlands, just because these municipal communities are led by Muslims.
Tamara, do you want to live on your own territory, on the land of your ancestors, obeying the rules of those who lived and grew up with their own ideology in the Arab countries, the countries of the Middle East and the countries of Asia???
Tamara, do you think that weapons from our side should be on the bolt and we should calmly watch how Syrian Christians who pray only to Russia are being killed?
You watch video footage mass executions these non-humans are igil / daesh, in youtube type one word - igil
Just look and think about the fact that ordinary civilians lived their lives (with or without oligarchs), and nonhumans burst into them, men immediately began to be cut out, women were captured and mocked, children began to be prepared for suicide bombers, zombifying them with drugs, etc. .d. etc.
Should the Russians really look at all this calmly, and in Syria half of the citizens are Christians. Julia (Moscow) is absolutely right in writing a historical note.
Tamara, think about whether you can calmly see all this bacchanalia with the idea of a world caliphate and allow it on our territory, where people are already being blown up in the subway, train stations and squares.
The army must be professional and professionals must go there to serve, whoever does not want to please work for the good of the country and yourself.
AT this moment our Army is not weak, thanks to guys like Roman and many other guys who did not return from the battlefield and are alive, who carry out the mission of a liberator soldier.
To argue that the oligarchs are to blame for everything and that there should be no wars is a sound thrown into the void.
If everyone is so smart, then throw off the data of those very "MANAGERS" of world domination who hold everything in their hands and manipulate everyone. Throw this data to OUR KIDS at the bases, then they will quickly stop all wars taken together and put an end to all conflicts and terrorists ...
Tamara, it's not that simple. Ask the living Veterans of the Second World War whether Russia is doing the right thing now. I have no doubt that they will answer - Everything is correct!
It's only the beginning?!
During the years of the Great Patriotic War, not much was known about the incredible feat of a simple Russian soldier Kolka Sirotinin, as well as about the hero himself. Perhaps no one would have ever known about the feat of a twenty-year-old artilleryman. If not for one case.
In the summer of 1942, an officer of the 4th died near Tula tank division Wehrmacht Friedrich Fenfeld. Soviet soldiers found his diary. From its pages, some details of that very last battle of Senior Sergeant Sirotinin became known.
It was the 25th day of the war ...
In the summer of 1941, the 4th tank division of the Guderian group, one of the most talented German generals, broke through to the Belarusian city of Krichev. Part 13 Soviet army were forced to retreat. To cover the withdrawal of the artillery battery of the 55th rifle regiment the commander left artilleryman Nikolai Sirotinin with a gun.
The order was brief: to hold up the German tank column on the bridge over the river Dobrost, and then, if possible, catch up with our own. The senior sergeant carried out only the first half of the order...
Sirotinin took up a position in a field near the village of Sokolnichi. The cannon sank in high rye. There is not a single noticeable landmark for the enemy nearby. But from here the highway and the river were clearly visible.
On the morning of July 17, a column of 59 tanks and armored vehicles with infantry appeared on the highway. When the lead tank reached the bridge, the first - successful - shot rang out. With the second shell, Sirotinin set fire to an armored personnel carrier at the tail of the column, thereby creating a traffic jam. Nikolai fired and fired, knocking out car after car.
Sirotinin fought alone, he was both a gunner and a loader. He had 60 shells in his ammunition load and a 76-millimeter cannon - an excellent weapon against tanks. And he made a decision: to continue the battle until the ammunition runs out.
The Nazis rushed to the ground in a panic, not understanding where the shooting was coming from. The guns were fired at random, in squares. Indeed, on the eve of their intelligence could not detect Soviet artillery in the vicinity, and the division advanced without any special precautions. The Germans made an attempt to clear the blockage by pulling the wrecked tank off the bridge with two other tanks, but they were also knocked out. The armored car, which tried to ford the river, got bogged down in the swampy bank, where it was destroyed. For a long time the Germans failed to determine the location of the well-camouflaged gun; they believed that a whole battery was fighting them.
This unique battle lasted a little over two hours. The crossing was blocked. By the time Nikolai's position was discovered, he had only three shells left. Sirotinin refused the offer to surrender and fired from a carbine to the last. Having entered the rear of Sirotinin on motorcycles, the Germans destroyed a lone gun with mortar fire. At the position they found a lone cannon and a soldier.
The result of the battle of Senior Sergeant Sirotinin against General Guderian is impressive: after the battle on the banks of the Dobrost River, the Nazis lost 11 tanks, 7 armored vehicles, 57 soldiers and officers.
The stamina of the Soviet fighter aroused the respect of the Nazis. The commander of the tank battalion, Colonel Erich Schneider, ordered to bury a worthy enemy with military honors.
From the diary of Lieutenant Friedrich Hönfeld of the 4th Panzer Division:
July 17, 1941. Sokolnichi, near Krichev. In the evening they buried an unknown Russian soldier. He alone stood at the cannon, shot a column of tanks and infantry for a long time, and died. Everyone was amazed at his bravery… Oberst (colonel – editorial note) said in front of the grave that if all the Fuhrer’s soldiers fought like this Russian, they would conquer the whole world. Three times they fired volleys from rifles. After all, he is Russian, is such admiration necessary?
From the testimony of Olga Verzhbitskaya, a resident of the village of Sokolnichi:
I, Verzhbitskaya Olga Borisovna, born in 1889, a native of Latvia (Latgale), lived before the war in the village of Sokolnichi, Krichevsky district, together with my sister.
We knew Nikolai Sirotinin and his sister until the day of the battle. He was with my friend, bought milk. He was very polite, always helping older women to get water from the well and in other hard work.
I remember well the evening before the fight. On a log at the gate of the Grabsky house, I saw Nikolai Sirotinin. He sat and thought about something. I was very surprised that everyone was leaving, and he was sitting.
When the fight started, I was not at home yet. I remember how tracer bullets flew. He walked for about two or three hours. In the afternoon, the Germans gathered at the place where the Sirotinin gun stood. We, the locals, were also forced to come there. To me, as knowing German, the chief German of about fifty with orders, tall, bald, gray-haired, ordered to translate his speech to local people. He said that the Russian fought very well, that if the Germans had fought like that, they would have taken Moscow long ago, that this is how a soldier should defend his homeland - fatherland.
Then a medallion was taken out of the pocket of our dead soldier's tunic. I remember firmly that it was written there “the city of Orel”, to Vladimir Sirotinin (I don’t remember his patronymic), that the name of the street was, as I remember, not Dobrolyubova, but Freight or Lomovaya, I remember that the house number was two digits. But we could not know who this Sirotinin Vladimir was - the father, brother, uncle of the murdered man or someone else - we could not.
The German chief told me: “Take this document and write to your relatives. Let a mother know what a hero her son was and how he died.” Then a young German officer who was standing at the grave of Sirotinin came up and snatched a piece of paper and a medallion from me and said something rudely.
The Germans fired a volley of rifles in honor of our soldier and put a cross on the grave, hung up his helmet, pierced by a bullet.
I myself saw the body of Nikolai Sirotinin well, even when he was lowered into the grave. His face was not covered in blood, but the tunic on the left side had a large bloody stain, his helmet was pierced, and there were many shell casings lying around.
Since our house was not far from the battlefield, next to the road to Sokolniki, the Germans were standing near us. I myself heard how they spoke for a long time and admiringly about the feat of the Russian soldier, counting the shots and hits. Some of the Germans, even after the funeral, stood at the cannon and the grave for a long time and talked quietly.
February 29, 1960
Testimony of the telephone operator M. I. Grabskaya:
I, Grabskaya Maria Ivanovna, born in 1918, worked as a telephone operator at DEU 919 in Krichev, lived in my native village of Sokolnichi, three kilometers from the city of Krichev.
I remember well the events of July 1941. About a week before the arrival of the Germans, Soviet artillerymen settled in our village. The headquarters of their battery was in our house, the battery commander was a senior lieutenant named Nikolai, his assistant was a lieutenant named Fedya, of the fighters, I remember the Red Army soldier Nikolai Sirotinin the most. The fact is that the senior lieutenant very often called this fighter and entrusted him with both tasks as the most intelligent and experienced.
He was a little above average height, dark brown hair, a simple, cheerful face. When Sirotinin and senior lieutenant Nikolai decided to dig a dugout for the locals, I saw how he deftly threw the earth, noticed that he was apparently not from the boss's family. Nicholas jokingly replied:
“I am a worker from Orel, and I am no stranger to physical labor. We, the Oryols, know how to work.”
Today, in the village of Sokolnichi, there is no grave in which the Germans buried Nikolai Sirotinin. Three years after the war, his remains were transferred to the mass grave of Soviet soldiers in Krichev.
Pencil drawing made from memory by a colleague of Sirotinin in the 1990s The inhabitants of Belarus remember and honor the feat of the brave artilleryman. In Krichev there is a street named after him, a monument has been erected. But, despite the fact that the feat of Sirotinin, thanks to the efforts of the employees of the Archive of the Soviet Army, was recognized back in 1960, the title of Hero Soviet Union he was not assigned. A painfully absurd circumstance got in the way: the soldier's family did not have his photograph. And it is necessary to apply for a high rank.
Today there is only a pencil sketch made after the war by one of his colleagues. In the year of the 20th anniversary of the Victory, Senior Sergeant Sirotinin was awarded the Order Patriotic War first degree. Posthumously. Such is the story.
Memory
In 1948, the remains of Nikolai Sirotinin were reburied in a mass grave (according to the military burial record card on the OBD Memorial website - in 1943), on which a monument was erected in the form of a sculpture of a soldier grieving for his dead comrades, and on the marble boards in the list of the buried is indicated surname Sirotinina N.V.
In 1960, Sirotinin was posthumously awarded the Order of the Patriotic War, 1st class.
In 1961, a monument in the form of an obelisk with the name of the hero was erected at the site of the feat near the highway, next to which a real 76-mm gun was installed on a pedestal. In the city of Krichev, a street is named after Sirotinin.
A memorial plaque with a brief note about N. V. Sirotinin was installed at the Tekmash plant in Orel.
Museum of Military Glory in high school No. 17 of the city of Orel, there are materials dedicated to N. V. Sirotinin.
In 2015, the council of school No. 7 of the city of Orel petitioned for the school to be named after Nikolai Sirotinin. Nikolai's sister, Taisiya Vladimirovna, attended the celebrations. The name for the school was chosen by the students themselves on the basis of their search and information work.
When reporters asked Nikolai's sister why Nikolay volunteered to cover the retreat of the division, Taisiya Vladimirovna replied: "My brother could not have done otherwise."
The feat of Kolka Sirotinin is an example of loyalty to the Motherland for all our youth.

Outside the 21st century. But, despite this, military conflicts do not subside, including those involving Russian army. Courage and valor, courage and bravery are qualities characteristic of the soldiers of Russia. Therefore, the exploits of Russian soldiers and officers require separate and detailed coverage.
How ours fought in Chechnya
The exploits of Russian soldiers today do not leave anyone indifferent. The first example of boundless courage is the tank crew headed by Yuri Sulimenko.
The exploits of the Russian soldiers of the tank battalion began in 1994. During the First Chechen War, Sulimenko acted as a crew commander. The team showed good results and in 1995 took an active part in the storming of Grozny. The tank battalion was defeated by 2/3 of the personnel. However, the brave fighters led by Yuri did not run away from the battlefield, but went to the presidential palace.
Tank Sulimenko was surrounded by Dudaev. The team of fighters did not surrender, on the contrary, began to conduct aimed fire at strategic targets. Despite the numerical superiority of the opponents, Yuri Sulimenko and his crew were able to inflict colossal losses on the militants.
The commander received dangerous leg injuries, burns to his body and face. Viktor Velichko, in the rank of foreman, was able to provide him with first aid in a burning tank, after which he carried him to a safe place. These exploits of Russian soldiers in Chechnya did not go unnoticed. The fighters were awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation.
Yuri Sergeevich Igitov - a hero posthumously
Very often the exploits of Russian soldiers and officers today become well known after the death of heroes. This is exactly what happened in the case of Yury Igitov. Private was awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation posthumously for the performance of duty and a special task.
Yuri Sergeevich took part in the Chechen war. The private was 21 years old, but, despite his youth, he showed courage and valor in the last seconds of his life. Igitov's platoon was surrounded by Dudayev's fighters. Most of the comrades died under numerous enemy shots. The gallant private, at the cost of his life, covered the retreat of the surviving soldiers to the last bullet. When the enemy attacked, Yuri blew up a grenade without surrendering to the enemy.
Evgeny Rodionov - faith in God until the last breath
The exploits of Russian soldiers today cause boundless pride of fellow citizens, especially when it comes to young boys who gave their lives for a peaceful sky above their heads. Boundless heroism and unshakable faith in God was shown by Yevgeny Rodionov, who, under threat of death, refused to take off his pectoral cross.
Young Eugene was called to serve in 1995. He served on a permanent basis in the North Caucasus, at the border point of Ingushetia and Chechnya. Together with his comrades, he joined the guard on February 13. In carrying out their direct task, the soldiers stopped an ambulance carrying weapons. After that, the privates were captured.
For about 100 days the soldiers were tortured, severely beaten and humiliated. Despite the unbearable pain, the threat of death, the fighters did not take off their pectoral crosses. For this, Yevgeny was beheaded, and the rest of his colleagues were shot on the spot. For martyrdom Rodionov Evgeny was awarded posthumously.
Yanina Irina - an example of heroism and courage
The exploits of Russian soldiers today are not only heroic deeds men, but also the incredible prowess of Russian women. A sweet, fragile girl was a member of two military operations as a nurse during the First Chechen war. 1999 was the third test in Irina's life.
August 31 became fatal. At risk to her own life, nurse Yanina saved more than 40 people by making three trips in an APC to the line of fire. Irina's fourth trip ended tragically. During the counter-offensive of the enemy, Yanina not only organized the lightning-fast loading of wounded soldiers, but also covered the retreat of her colleagues with automatic fire.
Unfortunately for the girls, two grenades hit the armored personnel carrier. The nurse rushed to the aid of the wounded commander and the 3rd private. Irina saved the young soldiers from certain death, but did not have time to get out of the burning car herself. The armored personnel carrier ammunition detonated.
For his valor and courage, he was awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation posthumously. Irina is the only woman who has been awarded this title for operations in the North Caucasus.
Maroon takes posthumously
The exploits of Russian soldiers today are known not only in Russia. The story of Sergei Burnaev does not leave anyone indifferent. Brown - that's what his comrades called the commander - was in the "Vityaz", a special division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In 2002, the detachment was sent to the city of Argun, where an underground weapons warehouse with numerous tunnels was discovered.
It was possible to reach opponents only by going through an underground hole. Sergei Burnaev went first. The opponents opened fire on the fighter, who was able to answer the call of the militants in the darkness. The comrades hurried to help, it was at this moment that Bury saw a grenade that was rolling towards the fighters. Without hesitation, Sergei Burnaev closed the grenade with his body, thereby saving his colleagues from certain death.
For the accomplished feat, Sergei Burnaev was awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation. The school where he studied was open so that young people could remember the exploits of Russian soldiers and officers today. Parents were given maroon beret in honor of the memory of a brave soldier.
Beslan: no one is forgotten
The exploits of Russian soldiers and officers today are the best confirmation of the boundless courage of men in uniform. September 1, 2004 became a black day in history North Ossetia and all of Russia. The seizure of the school in Beslan left no one indifferent. Andrey Turkin was no exception. The lieutenant took an active part in the operation to free the hostages.
At the very beginning of the rescue operation, he was injured, but did not leave the school. Thanks to his professional skills, the lieutenant took an advantageous position in the dining room, where about 250 hostages were placed. The militants were eliminated, which increased the chances for a successful outcome of the operation.
However, a militant with an activated grenade came to the aid of the terrorists. Turkin, without hesitation, rushed to the bandit, holding the device between himself and the enemy. Such an action saved the lives of innocent children. The lieutenant posthumously became a Hero of the Russian Federation.
Combat Sun
In ordinary everyday life of military service, the feats of Russian soldiers are also often performed. or the battalion commander Sun, in 2012 during the exercises he became a hostage of the situation, the way out of which became a real feat. Saving his soldiers from death, the battalion commander covered the activated grenade with his own body, which flew off from the edge of the parapet. Thanks to Sergey's dedication, tragedy was avoided. The battalion commander was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation.
Whatever the exploits of Russian soldiers today, every person should remember the valor and courage of the military personnel of the army. Only the memory of the deeds of each of these heroes is a reward for the courage that cost them their lives.
