Each paratrooper is obliged to make parachute jumps - this is an axiom. There are no differences, whether it is the commander of the Airborne Forces or the trumpeter of the regimental band, for which special bags are provided for musical instruments during landing. And a blue beret and a vest with blue stripes are issued to a recruit only after making the first three parachute jumps. The title of a paratrooper must be earned by testing the sky - if you fill the dome with air, then you are yours.

Everyone in the draft office is brave - I want to serve in the Airborne Forces, but when it comes to landing from an airplane with a parachute, even the big ones start to openly drift before taking that very step overboard. Training on the ground, where the same countdown is practiced on simulators: “501, 502, 503, the ring is a dome!” At an altitude of 800 meters, they become a real test of courage. Someone is frankly drifting, but in the landing troops, as in the army, there is a rule: "If you can't, we'll teach you, if you don't want to, we'll force you."

- Refuseniks at the first jump is one person out of ten, this is a normal sense of self-preservation in young guys, - says reserve officer, master of sports of parachuting Alexander Aprelsky. - And the task of the issuer, and this, as a rule, is the commander of the VDP (airborne training), to parachute everyone who is in the plane or helicopter. Refusenik is a problem, you have to land a plane, get a scolding from your superiors for the lack of moral and psychological preparation of a subordinate, transfer a fighter to ground units. It's easier to just push it overboard - the opening device will still work in three seconds and the dome will work to open. Here is such an elk in the doorway of the An-2, resting his feet and hands and yelling in fear, and the landing site is already below and the aircraft commander has already turned on the “howler” to the squad. The method used was tough, but simple. A kick from behind between the legs - the parachutist's hands go down, it remains to give a kick in the ass so that the "body" goes into free flight. Later, on the ground, you ask: “Why did you get out? Why didn't you jump?" And he, happy, says that he doesn’t remember anything and, they say, he made the jump himself and is ready even now for the second.

Surely every paratrooper retained in his memory the feeling of the first parachute jump - these are memories for life, abruptly than the first kiss with a classmate. From the personal, too, there is something to remember.

It was back in 1984, when I, a military journalist, arrived at the divisional newspaper of the 106th Tula Airborne Division. After the official presentations, as was the custom then, I was “seconded” to the nearest grocery store. And when he crossed the small parade ground of the division headquarters, he did not pay any attention to the colonel passing ten meters away and did not greet him.

A thin face with a thin string of blond mustaches, squinted predatory eyes, an impeccably fitting uniform - just a White Guard officer from films about the Civil War. “Hello,” I almost held out my hand to him, but stopped short at the look in which unusual contempt was read.

Why no signs? Where is the "Guard", where is the sign of the parachutist?

“So I arrived the first day! They didn’t hand over the “Guard”, and I never jumped with a parachute at all, - I squinted at my “rhombus”, which hung lonely on my chest.

“Maybe you, Comrade Lieutenant, also have white socks?”

Socks, indeed, for the sake of the then fashion, were not authorized, but white, which I demonstrated to the strict officer.

"Chief of intelligence to me!" growled the colonel.

Less than a minute later, the captain ran to the colonel. Puzankov- Deputy head of the intelligence department.

“Here it is,” the colonel grunted without looking at me, “to throw it out with a parachute tomorrow. Hand over the "Guard" and the "first-timer".

Drenched in contempt, I no longer existed for him, he did not even give me a dressing, which only a real paratrooper deserved.

The next day, the commander of the divisional reconnaissance company of the guard, captain Sasha Khabarov in accordance with the order "threw" me out of the plane. I was given signs and initiated into the paratroopers, having beaten off a soft spot, as it should be, with a "reserve" - ​​a reserve parachute. After that, I fell in love with the open sky and made more than 150 jumps.

And the stern colonel is the deputy division commander Alexander Chindarov, by the time we met, he had great authority in the army: it was not easy to get the Order of the Red Star even in Afghanistan. Later, in 1994, as deputy commander of the Airborne Forces, Lieutenant General Chindarov refused to storm Grozny, saying that he needed two weeks to prepare: he would not throw untrained soldiers into battle. For this, he was fired from the army by the then Minister of Defense Pavel Grachev.

Some time later, talking with Chindarov on the phone, I asked if he remembered me. Alexander Alekseevich hesitated, saying that a lot of you, lieutenants, have passed through me. "White socks," I suggested. “Oh, of course I remember! You've got me the only one like this in my entire service! - and in his voice there was either the joy of recognition, or regret that he did not give me a full landing program then.

And to the paratrooper’s question, they say, how many times they jumped, each of them will answer: “They jump from the bed in the army, and parachute jumps in the Airborne Forces!”

Landing troops are required to undergo jump training at the training stage. Then the skydiving skills are already used during military operations or demonstration performances. Jumping has special rules: requirements for parachutes, aircraft used, training of soldiers. All these requirements must be known to the landing party for a safe flight and landing.

A paratrooper cannot jump without preparation. Training is an obligatory stage before the start of real airborne jumps, during which theoretical training and jumping practice take place. All the information that is told to future paratroopers during training is given below.

Aircraft for transportation and landing

What aircraft do paratroopers jump from? The Russian army currently uses several aircraft for landing troops. The main one is IL-76, but other flying machines are also used:

• AN-12;
• MI-6;
• MI-8.

The IL-76 remains the preferred choice because it is the most conveniently equipped for landing, has a large luggage compartment and retains pressure well even at high altitudes, if the landing party needs to jump there. Its body is sealed, but in case of emergency, the compartment for paratroopers is equipped with individual oxygen masks. Thus, each skydiver will not experience a lack of oxygen during the flight.

The aircraft develops speeds of approximately 300 km per hour, and this is the optimal indicator for landing in military conditions.

Jump Height

From what height do paratroopers usually jump with a parachute? The altitude of the jump depends on the type of parachute and the aircraft used for landing. The recommended optimal landing height is 800-1000 meters above the ground. This indicator is convenient in combat conditions, since at such an altitude the aircraft is less exposed to fire. At the same time, the air is not too rarefied for the paratrooper to land.

From what height do paratroopers usually jump in case of non-training actions? The opening of the D-5 or D-6 parachute during landing from the IL-76 occurs at an altitude of 600 meters. The usual distance required for full disclosure is 200 meters. That is, if the landing starts from a height of 1200, then the opening will occur at around 1000. The maximum allowable for landing is 2000 meters.

More advanced models of parachutes allow you to start landing from a mark of several thousand meters. So, the modern model D-10 allows you to land at a maximum height of no more than 4000 m above the ground. At the same time, the minimum allowable level for deployment is 200. It is recommended to start deployment earlier to reduce the likelihood of injury and a hard landing.

Types of parachutes

Since the 1990s, two main types of landing parachutes have been used in Russia: D-5 and D-6. The first is the simplest, does not allow you to adjust the landing site. How many lines does a paratrooper's parachute have? Depends on the model. Lines in D-5 28, the ends are fixed, which is why it is impossible to adjust the direction of flight. The length of the lines is 9 meters. The weight of one set is about 15 kg.

A more advanced D-5 model is the D-6 paratrooper parachute. In it, the ends of the lines can be released and the threads can be pulled, adjusting the direction of flight. To turn left, you need to pull the lines on the left, to maneuver to the right side, pull the thread on the right. The area of ​​the parachute dome is the same as that of the D-5 (83 square meters). The weight of the kit is reduced - only 11 kilograms, it is most convenient for still being trained, but already trained paratroopers. During the training, about 5 jumps are made (with express courses), D-6 is recommended to be issued after the first or second. There are 30 rafters in the kit, four of them allow you to control the parachute.

For complete beginners, D-10 kits have been developed, this is an updated version, which has only recently been made available to the army. There are more rafters here: 26 main and 24 additional. Of the 26 feet, 4 allow you to control the system, their length is 7 meters, and the remaining 22 - 4 meters. It turns out that there are only 22 external additional lines and 24 internal additional lines. Such a number of cords (all of them are made of nylon) allow you to control the flight as much as possible, adjust the course during disembarkation. The area of ​​the dome at the D-10 is as much as 100 square meters. At the same time, the dome is made in the shape of a squash, a comfortable green color without a pattern, so that after landing a paratrooper it would be harder to detect it.

Rules for disembarking from an aircraft

The paratroopers disembark from the cabin in a certain order. In IL-76 this happens in several streams. For disembarkation, there are two side doors and a ramp. During training activities, they prefer to use exclusively side doors. Disembarkation can be carried out:

• in one stream of two doors (with a minimum of personnel);
• in two streams from two doors (with an average number of paratroopers);
• in three or four streams from two doors (with large-scale educational activities);
• in two streams and from the ramp, and from the doors (during hostilities).

The distribution into streams is done so that the jumpers do not collide with each other upon landing and cannot be hooked. A small delay is made between threads, usually several tens of seconds.

Parachute flight and deployment mechanism

After landing, the paratrooper must calculate 5 seconds. It cannot be considered a standard method: "1, 2, 3 ...". It will turn out too quickly, the real 5 seconds will not pass yet. It is better to count like this: "121, 122 ...". Now the most commonly used account is starting from 500: "501, 502, 503 ...".

Immediately after the jump, the stabilizing parachute automatically opens (the stages of its opening can be seen on the video). This is a small dome that prevents the paratrooper from starting to "circle" during the fall. Stabilization prevents flips in the air, in which a person begins to fly upside down (this position does not allow the parachute to open).

After five seconds, the stabilization is completely removed, and the main dome must be activated. This is done either with the help of a ring, or automatically. A good paratrooper should be able to adjust the opening of the parachute himself, so trained students are given kits with a ring. After activating the ring, the main dome fully opens in 200 meters of fall. The duties of a trained paratrooper paratrooper also include camouflage after landing.

Safety rules: how to protect the landing from injury

Parachutes require special treatment, care, so that jumps using them are as safe as possible. Immediately after use, the parachute must be properly folded, otherwise its service life will be drastically reduced. An improperly folded parachute may fail to deploy during landing, resulting in death.

The airborne troops can rightfully be considered a model of the valor and strength of the national army. It is difficult to imagine a soldier who dreams of serving in the army, who would not like to try himself as a paratrooper.

Service in this type of troops has several characteristic features, among which intense physical activity is the key. Because of this, the current legislation provides for a number of mandatory requirements that a conscript who wants to serve in the ranks of the elite troops must meet.

How to get into the Airborne Forces by conscription, many conscripts ask themselves this question before visiting the medical commission. The answer is simple: it is important to meet all the selection criteria and express your desire to get into this branch of the military before the distribution commission.

What is important to do

According to current legal norms, namely, in accordance with paragraph "D" of the provision "On military duty", recommendations on the distribution of conscript soldiers are provided by the head of the territorial military registration and enlistment office. As a rule, people of military age are asked about his intention regarding military duty even during the initial registration. After passing the medical commission, the conscript goes to a meeting of the draft commission, where a decision will be made in advance on which troops the young man will serve in (in the absence of contraindications for health reasons). It is important here not to be shy and clearly indicate your desire to serve in the Airborne Forces.

It is very important to understand that airborne troops are not just romance, it is a very difficult and dangerous service. This branch of service is not only considered the elite of the entire Russian army, it is practically the main reserve of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, therefore the requirements for enrollment in this branch of service are much more serious than anywhere else. Good health and impressive stamina are especially important if you want to serve in a special forces unit.

Key selection criteria for recruits

For ease of perception, these requirements for conscript soldiers should be divided into several categories.

Physical health status

For intense loads, which is subjected to an ordinary Airborne Forces, an impeccable state of health is required. There should be no congenital or acquired pathologies. Based on the results of the examination, the medical commission at the military registration and enlistment office must issue a fitness category A1, which must be recorded in the relevant documentation.

In addition, a recruit applying for service in the Airborne Forces should not have any predisposition to chronic inflammatory processes. The medical record from the polyclinic at the place of permanent registration should not contain evidence of surgical interventions as a result of injuries or the development of internal pathology. On a daily basis, paratroopers are subjected to heavy loads, which include:

• grueling endurance training;
• constant skydiving;
• regular exhaustion of the body as a result of long flights;
• unbalanced nutrition during survival courses and so on.

All this can leave an indelible mark on a weakened body, so you should sensibly assess your health. With a purposeful desire to enlist in the Airborne Forces, it is recommended to start training as early as possible. Indeed, in addition to physical good health and the absence of pathological processes in the body, these are far from all the requirements.

Mental health and emotional stability are also integral requirements for a soldier entering military service as a paratrooper. The conscript will have to pass a series of specialized tests, which cannot be deliberately deceived. They are developed by military psychologists and are quite successfully applied in practice, weeding out unreliable applicants.

Physical Data

There are certain anthropometric parameters that must be met in order to enter the service in the Airborne Forces. The figures are reasonable. Even a slight deviation from the specified requirements for height and weight can be the main reason for refusal.

The growth of a potential paratrooper should not be less than 175 cm and not more than 195 cm. Body weight can vary from 75 to 85 kg.

These indicators are natural in the physiological sense. Deviation from these parameters is an indirect evidence of hidden health problems. In addition, non-compliance with these requirements may impede the fulfillment of the combat mission assigned to the elite troops of the Russian Federation.

Growth indicators are also not randomly assigned. Short people will definitely not be able to cope with strength exercises and other delights of the life of blue berets for a long time, and people who are too tall have a different problem. A long stay in the air, which is the norm for a paratrooper, is associated with intense atmospheric stress, which affects blood pressure. Tall people are more prone to hypotension (low blood pressure syndrome), which can also leave an imprint on the health of a soldier even after military service.

If the height discrepancy is almost impossible to correct, then the situation is different with weight. You can gain muscle mass, or vice versa, get rid of excess weight in a relatively short time, it is important to take care of yourself in time.

Physical form

A conscript who wishes to serve in the Airborne Forces must meet the requirements for physical fitness. In the absence of medical and physiological contraindications, the soldier will be asked to pass the following physical standards:

• 20 pushups;
• 20 pull-ups;
• cross 3 km with equipment weighing 15 kg.

This will have to be demonstrated by the recruiting commission, otherwise, the recruit will be denied a request for enrollment in the ranks of the Airborne Forces. It is important to understand that these requirements may not seem so difficult, but in reality they are far from being so. It will not be possible to fulfill these standards without purposeful and lengthy preparation. In addition, in order to achieve such indicators, it is recommended to refrain from the use of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products.

Education

A potential paratrooper must not only meet all the requirements mentioned earlier. Another important factor is education. The overall average will be sufficient. A good advantage would be the absence of triples in the certificate.

Additional factors

There are several factors that can significantly increase a young person's chances of successfully enlisting in the Airborne Forces. These include.

Today is Air Force Day!

Airborne Troops Day!

Day of the Paratroopers or "Paratroopers"!

Of course, every year, the Landing Forces are becoming quieter. Grandiose fights and showdowns with the "Watermelon" mafia in the markets are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Still, our country is becoming more and more rigid to all kinds of lawlessness, on the one hand, on the other hand, we are at war in some places of the ball. And it has long been noticed that if the country's Army conducts real hostilities, fewer people bathe in fountains and go to protest rallies.

Therefore, the question is always relevant, how to distinguish a real paratrooper from someone who just puts on a vest and takes it, or maybe having made a “Throwout” tattoo, thumps in the fountain and tells army tales.

By the way, Muscovites differ in this. Anyone who served in the Airborne Forces knows that it is among those called up from Moscow that rotten soldiers are more common ...

Of course, not all, among the guys from Moscow there are many excellent fighters. I myself had a "druzhban" from the Capital in the army.

But honestly, everyone knows that among the inhabitants of Moscow there are “not quite good comrades”, more than from the outskirts of the country ...

We had a “Moskvich” in our company, the only communist among the soldiers. By the way, he was sent to the army after a “ball” (a ball or another slang expression in the army and airborne forces) in civilian life. He was a released secretary of the Komsomol, I do not remember where. There was a delay, but flew in, and was sent to serve in the elite troops. I'm sure he bathes in the fountain and thumps in a beret and vest.

But for one real paratrooper there are several fake ones. So let's start learning to identify the deceiver. I will give below a few questions and some detailed answers to these questions.

Knowing the answers to these questions, you can identify a fake "Landing"!

1. Where did you serve?

The answer to the Airborne Forces or the DSB does not work, as does the DMB (this is a demobilization!). Like the place of service, such as Pskov, Ryazan and so on. Maybe he had heard enough of the army tales of his older brother or neighbor. By the way, in addition, there may even be construction battalion workers in the military camp of the landing unit. For example, in Pskov. If anyone remembers, soldiers from the construction battalion went to the photographer and took photos in the “demobilization parade with axels” and a blue beret. They were sent home and boldly told that they were serving in the Airborne Forces. Of course they did it in secret. The construction battalion troops were not very fond of. In Pskov, there was a garrison bay (guard watch), this is the place where soldiers and officers are kept for minor and major violations of military discipline. The bay was guarded by the guard of the Pskov division

2. Part number?

Each military unit has a number. The unit number is driven into the soldier's head. As well as the number of the machine and the military ID. I served almost 30 years ago and still remember.

3. VUS what?

VUS, this military registration specialty is written in the Military ID. If such a Trooper shows you his soldier, then looking at his VUS, you will understand who he really is. “Military registration specialty (VUS) - an indication of the military specialty of an active or in reserve serviceman of the Russian Armed Forces and other troops and formations. Information about the VUS is entered into the military ID. All VUS are divided into groups, the VUS designation itself is a multi-digit number (for example, VUS-250400).

Possible list of military specialties

Apparently, there are no open sources containing the decryption of the codes of all current VUS: the VUS catalog is a document of the Russian Ministry of Defense with a “Secret” degree of secrecy.

The first three digits of the VUS of warrant officers, sergeants, foremen and soldiers indicate specialization (VUS code), for example:

100 - rifle
101 - snipers
102 - grenade launchers
106 - military intelligence
107 - units and divisions of Special Forces
122 - BMD
461 - HF radio stations
998 - not having military training, fit for military service
999 - the same, only RESTRICTLY fit for military service, etc.

The next three digits indicate the position (position code):

97 - ZKV
182 - KO
259 - MV
001 - battery man, etc.

The letter at the end indicates "special signs of service":

A - having none
B - missile weapons specialists
D - Airborne Forces
K - crew of surface ships
M - MP
P - V.v.
R - PV (FPS)
S - Ministry of Emergency Situations (?)
T - construction units and subdivisions
F - SpN, etc.
E - Flight personnel for ensigns, sergeants, soldiers

4. How many times did you jump? Usually you will hear mind-blowing numbers of 30-40-50, and maybe 100 jumps. “The annual norm for a conscript soldier is 12 jumps, 6 in each training period. In general, parachute training is a prerequisite for service in the Airborne Forces. Everyone is landing - from the general to the private, ”- an interview with Shamanov. Who is not in the know, Vladimir Shamanov Commander of the Airborne Forces and Colonel General. Even in the USSR, jumping more than 20 times for military service was problematic. Because a soldier took up guard duties (this is when a man with a gun guards Guba, warehouses and parks with equipment), went to outfits in the park (where the equipment is), finally to outfit in the dining room (where he peeled potatoes, set the table and washed dishes), stood “on the bedside table” (attire for the company), and so on ... In the army, self-service, the soldier did everything himself and to make the jump, no one released him. Of course, there were sports companies in the army. These are free units, where soldiers mainly train and perform for the unit. For example, where I served, there was a "squadron". Conscripts are skydivers who only jumped and competed. But this is a separate caste, they even went in a peculiar form, officer overcoats and epaulettes of conscripts. The beginnings of a contract army. I am not talking about contract sergeants and ensigns. They were already professional soldiers then. But an ordinary paratrooper did not jump very much. Just like now. Only “for demobilization” could buy a “nauseous” (badge parachutist in the form of a dome with a pendant in the form of numbers according to the number of jumps) with a large number of jumps.

5. Did you jump in combat? Many fake paratroopers do not know that the Airborne Forces and all kinds of special forces can jump in several ways.

Here are the simplest ones:

Without weapons and RD (Paratrooper Backpack)

With RD and weapons in the transport position. Automatic, SVD and even RPG, in a special transport case, "screwed" behind the back of a dashing landing.

With RD and GK (Cargo Container)

With weapons "in combat", on the chest under the chest jumper of the suspension system. Allows you to fire while descending on a parachute, directly from the sky.

Then there are night ones, on the forest, on the water, high-rise and so on. Only inside the equipment no one jumps, although this option has been worked out for war. The son of the legendary founder of the Airborne Forces Vasily Margelov, Alexander Margelov, back in 1973 made a parachute jump inside the BMD-1. For this feat, he was awarded the title of Hero of Russia, after 20 years ... Since then, more than 110 people have jumped inside the equipment, but these are testers. An ordinary paratrooper who will tell you about this, just pi ....!

6. Did you jump with the ISS? For reference, the MKS is a multi-dome system for landing equipment, for example MKS-5-760. A person just can't jump with this crap. But I met Landing Forces who claimed that they jumped with her ... In the Airborne Forces, they jump mainly with parachutes: D-1-8 is the oldest parachute, created back in 1959. This parachute has the main advantage, the dome cover clings through an extension halyard to an airplane or helicopter. The paratrooper doesn't even have a ring. Led to the hatch, gave a kick in the ass. Then everything works automatically without any devices. This is the perfect parachute for the first jump. 300% guarantee, the main thing when laying is not to twist the lines. D-1-5U is the oldest controlled parachute. D-6 and all its modifications. You have seen this dome in most films about the Airborne Forces. The paratroopers fly for some time on a stabilizing small canopy. The same canopy extends the main canopy of the parachute, if you pull the ring or when the safety device of the PPK-U type is triggered. PPK-U - Semiautomatic Parachute Combined Unified (device) - designed to open the parachute pack (after a certain period of time at a certain height). Now they plan to put D-10 in the troops. PSN - Special Purpose Parachute. I jumped from PSN-71, it is more manageable. It has rolls for better handling (which we were forbidden to uncheck) and locks on the suspension system. When landing, you can immediately unfasten the dome. For example, in the wind, when jumping into the water or in battle. It was created for the GRU Spetsnaz and reconnaissance units of the Airborne Forces. Software - Planning Shell. These are the same rectangular “wings” or “mattresses” on which all athletes now jump. From PO-9, from the times of the USSR, to modern PO-16, PO-17 and the famous "Crossbows". A conscript has never jumped with such domes!

7. And finally, what is "Razor - smile"? Or were you shaved with a smile? This is a flexible hairpin from the same PPK-U device. In the Airborne Forces and civilian paratroopers, the most fashionable keychain and souvenir. On the neck, on the keys and so on. The hairpin, when unbent, specifically clings to the hairs, no worse than an epilator. In the army, it is used as a punishment for negligent fighters, and just "for fun." Airborne humor, I shaved with a smile. Have you been shaved with a smile? Understandable only to paratroopers.

In principle, there is still a lot of information that only those who served in the Airborne Forces can know. But I think that what I wrote will be enough to identify fake paratroopers who dishonor the glorious name of Uncle Vasya's Troops. Vasily Margelov is the founder of the Airborne Forces and the father of all paratroopers!

Happy Airborne Forces Day to all real paratroopers!
Nobody except us!
