Ergaki. The taiga experience of Siberian Old Believers is to the advantage of the RF Armed Forces

46
The training program for military personnel of special units of the RF Armed Forces in the conditions of the Siberian taiga received its development. Preparation, which is remarkable, is carried out with the participation of representatives of the Old Believers communities living in the highlands of the Siberian regions of the country. Information Agency TASS With reference to the commander of the forces of the Central Military District, Colonel-General Vladimir Zarudnitsky reports that the training was conducted on the basis of a special center "Ergaki" in the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

Vladimir Zarudnitsky:
In 2016, we continued training for the mountain units of the Ground Forces and the Army aviation on the basis of the Ergaki center in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The course ends with a field exit with elements of survival. The training of military personnel was carried out using the knowledge and skills of the indigenous inhabitants of the region from among the Old Believers. Last year, more than 700 members of the military district underwent training.




It is noted that a full-fledged course on survival in taiga conditions at an altitude of approximately 1300-1400 meters above sea level is being conducted. It is at this altitude that the center "Ergaki" is located - the foothills of the Western Sayan.

The course includes: overcoming water obstacles, gorges, rocks, glaciers, skills for obtaining fire, food production. Separate occupation - orienteering in the taiga.

Soldiers, in addition, are trained in the use of pack animals, obtaining purified drinking water.

In the format of training activities, a parachute landing was carried out from a helicopter, and measures were taken within the framework of special tactical, fire and physical training.

Ergaki. The taiga experience of Siberian Old Believers is to the advantage of the RF Armed Forces


One of the routes in the taiga along its length is about 100 kilometers. Such a march through the taiga wilderness was accompanied by local residents from the mentioned communities of Old Believers, for which the places on the Sayan Mountains are an open book, each page of which is well known.

      That is yes. But such an experience is relevant in the taiga. You can’t use it in the tropics. Something I do not want it to be updated.

        In Siberia, there is something to protect.

          Goes into the hut to the Old Believer Ranger.
          -Well, grandfather, I came to conquer you. Give bread, milk, meat, moonshine - we will eat, drink, walk. Now I am your master.
          -Many people went around like that, son. Well, do you want to eat?
          -Of course. Come on, come on!!!
          Machine instructs grandfather. Grandfather to him
          -Listen, taiga feeds me. Conqueror say - let's go, here the bear walked. We will eat bear cub.
          -What bear? Is that a grizzly?
          - Well, I don’t know - I don’t know what grizzly. Bear - he is a bear. And take away your "little fart" - if you want to be the master of the taiga, you need to have a horn. The people will respect, honor and people's love will be yours.
          - Are you talking about girls? Ok !!! I want the most beautiful !!!
          Going together, holds a cattle ranger. Grandfather explains to him how much, and how to use the horn. And suddenly, bam !!! The ranger falls into a bear pit. Grandfather is standing on top, yes tell him.
          - Listen, conqueror. Now I'm throwing a hole in the branches again. I’ll put a honey for the bait. A bear will come and fail to you - here and deal with him, who is the master of the taiga. And I’ll go ... A lot of such people walked around here, but no one has filled up the bear yet ... hi

            Do you realize what you are writing? Darling, if you need life experience in the taiga of Siberian Old Believers, this means that you are either going to hunt for Siberian Old Believers, or, like them, you want to escape from civilization. The experience of Siberian Old Believers is limited to the flora and fauna of the Khakass taiga. In the Carpathian forests, or in the forests of northern Syria, other flora and fauna. The Siberian Old Believers did not have weapons, equipment, communications equipment or special units. How do you imagine the special forces abandoned in the taiga in what mother gave birth? I admit that you have a dislike for me, but this is not a reason to make yourself an idiot.

        In the Khabarovsk Territory, “runaway convicts” are almost a legend, even with their desire to survive, they can’t stand it for more than a week. They surrender or are caught off the road if they survive, and this is spring (hen) or summer (mosquitoes). Himalayan bears rods, wolves). Hundreds of kilometers of taiga with a predominance of larch from whose cones even the squirrels wrinkle. Excellent places for training special forces laughing

          Previously, in each district there were GRU special forces brigades. And they trained everywhere and in the taiga and in the desert and in the mountains. And for this they did not attract either Old Believers, Buddhist monks, nor dervishes, nor rabbis. In the same Buryatia, in the Forest town, not far from Ulan-Ude, there were 24 GRU special forces brigades. And they had taiga experience in bulk. And where did all this go? My nephew served there for two years. I ran around in the taiga.

            C'mon ............ Born in the Urals in the Perm Territory, from the third grade I had an illegal queen of 16 caliber (izh-17), my dad gave it to me, thoughtfully went to the forest from the age of 12, despite the fact that bullet My father did not give any rounds of ammunition, and for two shotguns he asked me not to pound in bottles, but in game. I mainly trained on hazel grouses and waders while I was small - it was as easy as taking them. After the Urals, he grew up to old age in the Komi Republic, where 1,5 people per square kilometer. So, both the Ural childons and the indigenous Komi have their own ways of catching animals and birds, fish and furs, when everything can be eaten without a gun and gunpowder, just from what is at hand. And in terms of arranging for several days in an unfamiliar area, without a basic hut, they have invaluable experience. Whatever you are a commando, but the locals always have something to learn in terms of survival, and without large material and physical costs. The hunters went into the taiga with a gun and an ax and returned with their booty, and now they carry up to 25-30 kg of cargo, with navigators and tents, and then they call the Ministry of Emergency Situations to pull them out, or even completely disappear. And the question itself should not be so posed, where in Europe can this experience be applied? We should not only prepare for offensives and victories, but also for defense. Well, if we take into account the fact that 80% of Russia is covered with taiga in our country, then they will take hrenushki, especially after a good preparation. Vanya Susanin, did not even think about the presence of navigators among the Poles ....

                No, it’s clear that the units that are ready to carry out the task in any conditions are in short supply, but what would the FSB have over the GRU in this matter, this is not at all a topic. They are separate units and have different tasks, performing which, in no way depend on each other, well, except for the exchange of some "very significant information", for its re-checking through other operational channels. At the same time, both of them are interested in trained fighters, in connection with which they periodically exchange experience. By the way, now on the territory of Chechnya, a center is being opened for training special forces soldiers, where the best of the best, including specialists from abroad, will be gathered in the teaching staff. Typically, cadets from different departments will never cross each other either in the dining room or in the gym, having their own sectors for training and living, in order to ensure the “secrecy” of everyone who has completed training in the future.

There is a Charter, there are methods approved by the Ministry of Defense, and training takes place on them. If training takes place under a specific task, then civilian lectures can be given in classes without going into the essence of what is happening, under the signature on the bar. I remember listening to four academic hours on the PAHT, in specifics.

        Where in the Sayan Mountains, you found the desert in winter. There is snow, so there is water everywhere (READ THE INPUT).
        And fire is easily produced in the mountains and in the taiga. (Matches, lighter). Even a smoke stove can be used. If there is fuel.
