Special Forces Day
In our country, there are many holidays devoted to one or another military profession, types and types of troops.
Two years ago, a new holiday date appeared in the military calendar: 26 February 2015 - Russian President Vladimir Putin signed Decree No. 103 “On the establishment of the Day of Special Operations Forces”, and now every year on February 27 in Russia is celebrated the “Day of the Special Operations Forces of the Russian Federation” .
Special Operations Forces of the Russian Federation (RF MTR) is a highly mobile army grouping of forces of the Russian Ministry of Defense, designed to solve not only military, but also military-political tasks where the interests of Russia are extended — including foreign countries and territories.
The tasks of the RF MTR include: protection against attacks on Russian citizens in other countries, evacuation of embassies, important officials, as well as special operations, which imply preventive measures to destroy the leaders of gangs, infrastructure or weapons of other countries, as well as counteracting saboteurs, protection of strategic facilities within our country.
In their activities, special forces fighters use methods and methods of combat operations that are not characteristic of conventional troops. The composition of the Special Operations Forces is secret, as are the vast majority of operations in which the Forces participate.
From open sources: at present, the Special Operations Forces have two special purpose centers: “Kubinka-2” and “Senezh”, but as required, other units of the Russian army can be added to the SSO.
In service with the service units of the SSO is a variety of units weapons and ammunition. The “nomenklatura group” includes: Glock 17 pistol, AK-74М automatic rifle, APS submachine gun, Pecheneg machine gun, Saiga-12 self-loading rifle, AGS-17 “Flame” automatic grenade launcher.
The list of sets of uniforms of the SSO of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has more than one dozen items. For example, FORT “Reid-L” splinter suit; diving suit GKN-7; 6B7-1М splinterproof helmet; bulletproof vest 6B43; armored "Fan-6".
MTR units use various types of vehicles, including armored vehicles, ATVs, helicopters, combat (transport) Robots.
The Senezh squad is the most closed division of the army, one might say the elite of military intelligence, whose fighters are capable of carrying out tasks of any degree of danger. It is no coincidence that it was precisely on the basis of this unit that the Office of Special Operations was created in 2009, subordinate to the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
Service officers in the MTR of the Russian Federation are personnel officers and contract servicemen of non-commissioned officers. Virtually every soldier of the Forces of the SO of the Russian Federation has several specialties. Characteristic feature: compulsory knowledge of foreign languages.
Not every soldier can become an employee of an elite unit. Representatives of the SSO actually select candidates with the necessary knowledge and abilities. Preparation is carried out in a special center, as well as directly at the points of permanent deployment.
Training sessions are held in conditions as close as possible to the combat (at mountain ranges, under conditions of the Arctic, etc.).
Many officers of the SSO are graduates of the Ryazan Higher Airborne Command School and the Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School.
The debut of the MTR of the Russian Federation was participation in the events of three years ago - during the well-known events in the Crimea, which became one of the manifestations of the “Russian Spring”. The servicemen provided the Crimeans with the opportunity to conduct free will, the outcome of which was the reunification of the Crimea and Sevastopol with Russia. It was those events that served as the choice date for a new military holiday.
On the night of February 27, units of the Ukrainian armed forces in the Crimea were blocked and disarmed without firing a shot, and all the strategic facilities of the peninsula are occupied by soldiers of the Russian SSO who behaved politely and correctly both in relation to the Ukrainian army and the inhabitants of the Crimean peninsula . The politeness of the Russian military served to give birth to the notion known today around the world: "polite people." This is one of the name of the Day of Forces of Special Operations - the Day of Polite People.
Since 2015, units of the Special Operations Forces have been used on the territory of Syria during the additional exploration of targets for Russian aviation.
The officers of the Russian Special Operations Forces, not sparing their lives, performed tasks in various provinces of Syria, including the province of Homs, when the heroism of the Russian military helped the Syrian army to free ancient Terrestrial Palmyra from terrorists - the pearl of the architectural, cultural and historical heritage of all modern civilization. Today in Syria, the units of the MTR of the Russian Federation ensure the safety of the air base VKS in Hmeimim.
With the passage of time and a gradual technical evolution, new adaptations and technologies were included in the activities of the military. This led to the fact that the art of warfare is being implemented to a significant extent remotely, through computer technologies, with respect to new physical principles, including the principles of aiming modern weapons at the target.
However, there are tasks that with the help of "machines" simply can not cope. It is necessary to involve people with a special level of training, people who are able to complete the task as efficiently as possible.
And there are such people in our country. They are not recognized on the street, they are not "PR" media. We know them by deeds and not by names - their personal files are kept under the heading "Secret". In the people they are known, and it has already been noted, as "polite people", and officially - the military personnel of the Special Operations Forces. And today these heroic people have a holiday.
"Military Review" is not ready to overlook the courage and heroism of the servicemen of the RF MTR and congratulates all those involved. Perform the tasks set by the command and return home safe and sound!
