Not so long ago, we wrote about five daring exploits of tankers of the Great Patriotic War. But, as our readers rightly noted, there was no less heroism in the modern history of Russia. Therefore, we continue the cycle of stories about hero tankers and their exploits.
Alexey Kozin: "I won't leave the car!"
Evgeny Kapustin. Fight with an injured spine
In January 2000, Yevgeny Kapustin was seriously wounded in Grozny during street fighting. But, even having received a spinal injury, he did not leave the tank and continued to fight. Only after the arrival of reinforcements, the tanker was evacuated to the hospital. And this is not the only case when Eugene showed courage and courage in battle. During the assault on the villages of Karamakhi and Chabanmakhi of the Buinaksky region, the tanker killed more than ten militants with an accurate hit in the window of the house. For his courage in operations in the North Caucasus region, Yevgeny Kapustin received the deserved title of Hero of the Russian Federation.
Oleg Kaskov. When you can't lose
On April 4, 1996, in Chechnya, in the Vedeno region, a motorized rifle convoy with tank guards under the command of Senior Lieutenant Kaskov was ambushed. Oleg Kaskov was wounded, the gunner and driver were seriously wounded. It seemed that this battle had already been lost. But, gathering his will into a fist, the senior lieutenant pulled the wounded out of the tank and gave them first aid. Then Kaskov extinguished the fire in the fighting compartment of the tank and, taking the place of the gunner, hit the enemy's most dangerous position for the column with a direct hit. The tanker covered the exit of the column from the firing zone until the last shell. In 1997, Oleg Kaskov was awarded the title of Hero of Russia for his courage and heroism while performing a special assignment.
Sergey Mylnikov. Unexpected maneuver
On August 8, 2008, Sergeant Sergei Mylnikov was part of a Russian peacekeeping group defending the Ossetian people from genocide. In a street battle in the capital of South Ossetia, Tskhinvali, the crew of T-72 under the command of Mylnikov destroyed 2 tanks and 3 units of light armored vehicles, thus the tankers ensured a breakthrough to the surrounded peacekeepers and saved them from destruction. But the fight didn't end there. Mylnikov held the defense to the last, and only after the car received four direct hits, the crew left the tank. The ring of Georgian troops around the peacekeepers was shrinking. It was decided to retreat to meet our troops. However, due to the fierce fire of the enemy, it was impossible to do this. Then Sergeant Mylnikov returned to his damaged and unarmed tank and moved towards the enemy at maximum speed. Such an unexpected maneuver did its job. In a panic, the enemy rushed in all directions. This is what allowed the Russian peacekeeping battalion to break through to its own and carry out the wounded and dead.
Alexander Sinelnik. Enrolled forever
On February 21, 1995, the 3rd tank company under the command of Captain Sinelnik participated in the encirclement of Grozny and the capture of the dominant height in the Novye Promysla area. For 15 hours, the militants made furious attempts to shoot down motorized riflemen and tankers from a height. At the critical moment of the battle, Alexander Sinelnik led the armored group and, calling fire on himself, gave the motorized rifle an opportunity to gain a foothold on their lines. 6 shots from a grenade launcher were fired at his tank, but the captain continued to fight. Mortally wounded, Sinelnik ordered the crew to leave the burning car and led the tank to safety.
Alexander Vladimirovich Sinelnik was awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation. By order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation of April 4, 1999, he was forever enlisted in the lists of the 3rd tank company of the tank battalion of the 506th guards motorized rifle regiment.
Sergey Vcherashnev. Life for the wounded
December 1, 1980. Afghanistan. After a fierce battle, a tank was allocated to help the wounded, which was driven by a driver-mechanic Sergei Vcherashnev. While the soldiers, crawling under heavy fire, took away the dead and wounded, Sergey's car covered them from aimed fire, maneuvering under enemy shots. Taking the BRDM with the wounded in tow, the tank went to the reverse breakthrough. It was getting dark. To better see the road and take the wounded as soon as possible, Sergei opened the tank hatch. The tanker did not notice how one of the spooks got close to the road and fired a grenade launcher point-blank. The grenade hit the car's cannon and exploded. Nobody was hurt inside the tank. Of the entire detachment, only one fighter died - the driver-mechanic Sergey Vcherashnev himself, who did the most to save the detachment.
Yuri Yakovlev. Hold on to the last
The grandson of Ivan Nikitich Yakovlev, a Soviet tanker, a participant in the Great Patriotic War, Yuri continued the family tradition and, after graduating from the Chelyabinsk Higher Tank Command School in 2002, entered the 503rd Motorized Rifle Regiment of constant readiness of the North Caucasian Military District.
During the Ossetian events of August 2008, he was one of the first to advance towards the enemy at the head of a battalion tactical group. On the morning of August 9, Captain Yakovlev's advanced tank group entered Tskhinval, which was controlled by Georgian troops. The tankers managed to break through to the positions of the peacekeeping battalion of the Russian troops. From close range, maneuvering and exposing the frontal armor of the T-72 to attack, Yakovlev continued to fight. The tank held out until the withdrawal of Georgian troops from Tskhinval. And this is after four direct hits! Yakovlev not only showed courage and courage in battle, but also skillfully commanded a unit: in his group, which consisted of four T-72s, only one car was lost, and only one soldier was wounded.
My father's heart sank in foreboding as he went out into the yard of the helicopter plant, where he worked, to smoke. Suddenly he saw two white swans flying in the sky with a plaintive kurlyk. He thought about Dima. It became bad from a foreboding. At that moment, his son Dmitry Petrov, together with his comrades, repulsed the attacks of bandits under the leadership of Khattab and Shamil Basayev near the foot of height 776 near Ulus-Kert.
White swans in the March sky - harbingers of the death of the Pskov paratroopers
On the day when the paratrooper detachment moved into the area of the combat mission, wet sticky snow fell, the weather was not flying. And the terrain - continuous gullies, ravines, the Abazulgol mountain river and a beech forest - prevented the helicopters from landing. Therefore, the detachment moved on foot. They did not have time to reach the height when bandits discovered them. The battle began. The paratroopers died one by one. They received no help. Commanders of the troops Shamanov have already reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin that the war in Chechnya is over, all large bandit formations have been destroyed. The general hastened. The parents of the killed 84 Pskov paratroopers insistently demanded an independent investigation and punishment of the perpetrators who failed to come to the aid of the dying company during the three days of the battle, from February 29 to March 1, 2000. 90 paratroopers fought against 2,500 thousand bandits.
For this battle, 21 paratroopers received the Hero's Star posthumously. Dima Petrov is among them. The parents took care of the star like the apple of their eye. But they didn’t save it. The burglars stole the relic. Local newspapers wrote about this. And a miracle happened. Even thieves, it turned out, have a heart. They planted the award at the front door of the apartment.
A school in the city of Rostov-on-Don is named after the hero of Russia. In 2016, a commemorative plaque was installed on the house where Dima studied at the "Young Pilot" club. There is no monument to the hero in the city.
The feat of the Orthodox spirit without official awards
In the narrow, dead Khanchelak gorge, during the first Chechen war in 1995, Chechen fighters set up an ambush. Rescue time is only 25 minutes or less. The Russian helicopter pilots succeeded. But after a short battle, the comrades were missing Alexander Voronov. He was sitting in an armored vehicle and, apparently, was shot down by a shock wave. They were looking for him. To no avail. Only blood on the stones. Sasha was taken prisoner. They were looking for him in the surrounding villages for another three days. Not found. Five years have passed. The second Chechen war of 2000 began. After the storming of the village of Utam-Kala, local residents told the special forces that they had a special pit (zindan) in their backyard. There is a Russian man sitting there.
A miracle happened. When the soldiers descended the wooden stairs into the seven-meter pit, they hardly recognized the bearded man in decayed camouflage, dressed in sackcloth as their lost friend. He staggered. He was very weak. Special forces soldier Sasha Voronov was alive. He fell to his knees, wept and kissed the free land. He was saved by the ineradicable will to live and the Orthodox cross. He took it in his hands, kissed it, rolled the pellets of clay and ate. His hands were cut with the knives of the bandits. They practiced hand-to-hand fighting techniques on him. Not everyone gets these tests. This is a real feat. The feat of the human spirit. Even without official awards.
Zhukov walked through a minefield
In the Argun Gorge, a reconnaissance group was ambushed while completing a mission. She could not tear herself away, having two seriously wounded in her arms. The lieutenant colonel of the North Caucasian military headquarters of the district, Alexander Zhukov, receives an order to rescue his comrades. It is not possible to land helicopters in a dense forest. The fighters are being lifted along the winch. To help evacuate the remaining wounded, Zhukov goes down the winch. Mi-24s, which are designed to provide fire support, cannot shoot - a salvo can destroy their own.
Zhukov lowers the helicopter. It turns out. At 100 meters, the militants surround him and the remaining two fighters from three sides. Heavy fire. And - captive. The militants did not kill the fighters. After all, a captive officer of the district headquarters can be profitably redeemed. The tractor driver - the head of the militants - orders the prisoners not to feed and methodically beat them. He sells Colonel Zhukov to field commander Gelayev. The gang is surrounded in the area of the village of Komsomolskoye. The area is mined. Gelayev orders the prisoners to walk through the minefield. Alexander Zhukov was blown up by a mine, was seriously wounded and received the Hero of Russia star. Alive.
Didn't attach the Star of the Hero to the ceremonial tunic
In 1995, in the area of Minutka Square, Chechen militants disguised as airborne forces with short haircuts characteristic of paratroopers killed the local population. The cameras were filming the alleged atrocities of Russian soldiers. This was reported to Ivan Babichev, general of the united group "West". He gives the order to Colonel Vasily Nuzhny to neutralize the militants.
The necessary one has been to Afghanistan twice, had military awards. The idea of conferring the title of Hero of Russia has already been sent to him.
He and the soldiers began to clean up the ruins of houses. Found four militants. Surrounded. They ordered to surrender. Suddenly, shots were heard from the bifurcations of the other bandits who had ambushed. Vasily Nuzhny was wounded. Blood instantly appeared in the place on the chest where the golden star should have hung. He died almost immediately.
Tanya and 17 children were rescued by scouts
In the village of Bamut, 18 children were rescued by a reconnaissance platoon under the command of Sergeant Danila Blarney. The children were held hostage by the militants in order to use them as human shields. Our scouts suddenly broke into the house and began to carry the children out. The bandits went berserk. They shot at their defenseless backs. The soldiers fell, but under heavy fire they grabbed the children and ran to hide them under the saving stones. 27 soldiers were killed. The last rescued girl, Tanya Blank, was wounded in the leg. All other children survived. Danil was seriously wounded and did not receive the Hero of Russia Star because he was discharged from the army. Instead of this well-deserved reward, he wears the Order of Courage on his tunic.
My father's heart sank in foreboding as he went out into the yard of the helicopter plant, where he worked, to smoke. Suddenly he saw two white swans flying in the sky with a plaintive kurlyk.
