Kazakh military personnel covered with avalanche during exercise

Kazakhstan information portal Nur.kz writes about the tragic incident during the exercises of the republican army units. The submission says that during the training sessions for military training of military personnel of the 91678 military unit there was a sudden avalanche. The press service of the main military department of Kazakhstan reports that in the area of ​​the avalanche, and this is the Koksai gorge of the Zhambyl (Dzhambul) region, search and rescue operations are underway.

The work involved representatives of the Emergency Situations Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan, internal affairs agencies, and military personnel of army units.

Other sources reported that there is a danger of recurring avalanche, so the search and rescue operation is carried out with the observance of increased caution.

At the moment there is no data on how many soldiers were under the avalanche in the Koksai gorge.

On the eve, the press service of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan reported that at one of the landfills (according to some sources, talking about the "Shygys" test site) in winter climatic conditions, an inspection was carried out of the operational capabilities of the Kazakhstani ARLAN armored car.

From the report:

As part of the test drive, servicemen marched on armored cars across rugged snowy terrain, tested the SARP combat module, which is equipped with ARLAN, and also tested the strength of the armored machine by firing Kalashnikov, Dragunov's sniper rifle and heavy caliber rifle OSV- 96.

As a result, the armored vehicle showed high throughput, maneuverability and protection, ensuring the safety of personnel.

Some time after the first reports of an avalanche, data about the death of 7 troops began to arrive. At this time, it is known that 10 people were saved.

What the hell carried them there? There are now storms raging!

The order was carried out. Not a self-propelled gun, in fact, since the car was tested.
If only they remained alive.

Now in the news broadcast - 7 people were killed

Yo-mayo! How sorry for the guys! In a peaceful time!
To all of Kazakhstan - my condolences.

Kazakhs are young men, they train in the snow and in the steppes and ... and with the disabled (not working?) ANN / GPS
===================
Even the "strongest" army in Europe (and 2aya in the world) is not capable of this

[brasist]

How is your conscience?

With a helicopter. Moscow Region announced that it was a training exercise with orientation skills with the help of the local population. In Aktyubinsk (Aktobe) flight school.
Tests with an armored car are not associated with tragedy. These are mountain rifle units in Jamb. region, in the mountains. But the tests of armored cars are in the steppe - they write that it is successful. 8 cars drove for these tests.
The exercises in our Armed Forces are ongoing, the combat readiness of all Armed Forces with access to the training grounds has recently been tested. Our mid-winter likes such checks. For memory, 3-4 years already.
Sorry for the boys. Now a thaw wave has come. In Alma-Ata + 7- + 9, everything is melting. They promise a new wave of frost. An avalanche service has been launched. In Alma-Ata, the approach is serious (text messages are constantly sent and they like to do it at night; they let them down with guns), but you can see it yourself in the places. The top layer melted, became heavier; and the bottom is still icy - well, and the result. Recently there were snowfalls (at the beginning of the month). Sorry for the boys. My condolences.

I remember this road in Aktyubinsk, I remember the same way I got stuck on the 3 of the day at the airport while flying to Alma-Ata.
The snowstorms there are pretty

No one is safe from the avalanche. And the "stupidity of the bosses" has nothing to do with
For the guys it was a combat job, of course it is a pity.
Only someone is silent, and someone shouts about conscience.

[Humpty]

Condolences to the families and friends of the deceased.

On the contrary. The lower layers thaw, recrystallize into looseness. The upper ones are compacted into a “board”.

--- "There is a danger of a repeated avalanche, so the search and rescue operation is carried out with the observance of increased caution." --- And where were the commanders before? They can’t even be trusted with a flock of sheep.

[Maz]

Yes, the stupidity of the bosses, I suppose, was ordered, but the weather conditions and terrain were not enough to check the brains, we forgot the combat charter of the infantry, written in blood.

the stupidity of the bosses, apparently ordered, and the brains

I totally agree. But the brains there on the market as posts and stars do not sell.
Once again I express my condolences to my relatives.

[Banishing liberoids]

Just degenerate condolences ...

[jurikberlin]

condolences to fellow countrymen.

Moreover, how else. The word of the kid. I am sure that no one will be imprisoned, but it's a pity. After all, there is Dzhambul, it is warm there.

[padded jacket]

Sorry for the condolences to all the people of Kazakhstan

Thanks friend Vatnik! Sorry for really very young guys! Avalanches in general are a constant disaster and a problem in the mountains of KZ

And about the death in the exercises, I thought once again, our Kazakhstan is probably the most peaceful state - we are not going to attack either the NATO or the USA and we cannot - and unfortunately we are forced to keep the army and air forces and air defense and so on and still be in the military bloc with Russia - due to external threats

And whoever creates external threats knows everything - and I credit all the victims in all exercises to their account - there wouldn’t be them and there wouldn’t be such expenses for the army and these victims

[aszzz888]

in the mountains, an avalanche is one of the worst collateral.

According to the test of a car: it sits on its belly in such snow - and no bridges will help ... then, just dig it to the ground. Checked.
