Colonel-General Sergei Surovikin to become commander-in-chief

130
The commander of the Russian grouping of troops in Syria, Sergei Surovikin, will take up the duties of the commander-in-chief of the VKS. He will be the first combined-arms general to lead this type of troops, but for the time being he will remain in Syria due to the lack of certainty about his successor, reports Kommersant.

Colonel-General Sergei Surovikin to become commander-in-chief




According to Kommersant, the General Staff planned to appoint the commander of the airborne forces Andrei Serdyukov as the head of the grouping in the SAR, but he is now recovering from a car accident. Sources claim that this candidate is still a priority, but his trip will depend entirely on his health.

Earlier, newspaper sources noted that Surovikin’s new appointment should be regarded as “rewarding for decent service in Syria: having led the group in March 2017, he was able to qualitatively increase the level of interaction of ground forces, aviation, Air defense and space grouping. "

Taking into account the experience of the general (he headed the main operational department of the General Staff, was the chief of staff of the Central Military District, commanded the Eastern Military District) "leading a new type of troops should not be for him some kind of revelation," one of the publication’s interlocutors is convinced.

According to the newspaper, Surovikin should formally take up the new duties of November 1. However, he will remain in Syria until the question of his successor is finally resolved.

      Absolutely right! Pilots should be commanded by pilots, sailors - sailors ... But we from Ukraine laugh - the same garbage! With all due respect to GDP and Shoigu, but not military, unfortunately ... and their personnel decisions regarding the Armed Forces often raise questions from staff officers! Politicians - yes! Good men, but not military men - one KGB officer, the second road builder! But soon the military will not remain - the remaining military schools were so reformed and democratized that they began to look like Institutes of noble maidens, and not like men's training schools for the Army .. laughing
      I don’t take my 25 years of service, and for a long time I have been looking at everything that is happening from a philosophical point of view - I’ll better save my health! It is said that infantry will be in command of the flyers - so it should be so ... Now the flyers will find out what the barracks order and military discipline are all about "First thing, first thing, airplanes ...!" laughing

              This is another conversation - money there be healthy, there are clearly shadow schemes, but embezzlement and combat readiness are all different things and for this it is not necessary to put infantry to command the fliers!

Like no subordination, you don’t understand who is with the key, who is with the carrier, who is pulling the hose, who is pulling a bomb on his navel. The mess. But about the barracks and boots, this is familiar, especially in air defense aviation. Are we not at all from this world? True, there may have been less senselessness, but there were enough understudies in the leadership.

        Surovikin's skills are pretty well known; he is not a secret person. He studied at the Academy. Frunze, commanded motorized riflemen, including in Tajikistan and Chechnya, in the future - combined arms armies. For some time he served in the Urals in the Central Military District and set up the work of the military police. Then, since 2013 - the commander of the Eastern Military District.
        Well, Surovikin has had something to do with aviation since 2013. And about Syria ... he took command in May 2017, and I apologize, but by then everything had been working there wonderfully for a long time without a new commander.
        I do not seek to belittle his merits, although I myself can not judge them, but I heard different opinions. But in any case, he is a combined arms soldier who almost did not deal with aviation - I assure you that the duties of the commander of the military forces, with their serious performance, could not give him time for a detailed acquaintance with the airborne forces.
        You see, in can also command a combined arms. Because his relationship with the videoconferencing in this case will be purely consumer, he knows what can be expected from them and requires it. It's like, excuse me, a taxi - I myself may not be able to drive a car at all, but I can easily set a task for a taxi driver to deliver me from point A to point B and control the execution :))) It is clear that the analogy is conditional, but ...
        But my ability to get what I want from taxi drivers does not mean that I am able to manage a fleet of vehicles. For this, my skills of “driving” taxi drivers are karekotically insufficient - I already need to know the mechanics of the car, and a bunch of everything else.

          By the way, Commander-in-Chief Kutakhov directly developed the concept of the 4 generation fighters. He was directly involved in the formulation of tasks and questions that should be addressed to designers, and the appearance of the MiG-29 and Su-27 developed directly under his influence. And now compare the activities of his activities with yours, "I tell the taxi driver where to go, he takes me there."

      No matter how much the sailors had to express their condolences here, “once such a booze has gone”. Here, they will appoint a woman as commander-in-chief ... The fleet, it is expensive, and talented economists, financiers, customs officers, or lawyers have a place to turn around ... For example, Tatiana Viktorovna Shevtsova.
      Naturally, such an active woman as Tatyana Shevtsova, who has repeatedly shown her professionalism in any business that she would not undertake, Anatoly Serdyukov also could not forget. In May 2010, she became his official adviser. Already in August of the same year, Tatyana Viktorovna was appointed deputy defense minister by order of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

      Rudolph, good evening. As for the naval commanders (please do not be offended), the kashnik from Chernyakhovsk told: Rear Admiral with the BF came to them with inspection, well, as usual, stuffed them in tonsils, and then summing up: "Well, what do you need? What needs to be improved? What needs to be improved? " Com.polka him- "comrade k-a, we fly a little, the personnel is 80% not prepared for the database at night, with m / m not restored, kerosene and flights in more." Admiral: do you fly a lot? Com. Regiment 2-3 shifts per month, but it would be necessary so much per week. Admiral: What the fuck ????? Yes, we go out to sea once a quarter, and 2 days are not enough for you to fly a month ????? Actually what can we talk about? VIMO came to us 2 times in the last 5 years, extinguish the candles, a complete misunderstanding of the laws of flight operation. And most importantly, they say- YOUR FLIGHTS ARE HOBBIES, IT'S NOT THE MAIN THING, THE MAIN THING IS THIS WRESTLINES, PHIZO, RHBZ, and here we are ranting

That year we had VIMO, there was such a small caperang- Subbotin’s surname, so he couldn’t understand why our planes take off and land with one course, he believed that we were all trying to fool them, all talk about the wind circle of flights scheme they didn’t act on it- "here the ship at sea leaves with one course, but returns with another !!!" This is not a joke, at the end of the Republic of Poland, we began to think ourselves, and wasn’t he? I swear it was so, so I believe the koshnik, all the more there is indirect evidence of this - they all flew by agreement to Monchegorsk overnight, they recruited both for class and for training, in reality Chernyakhovsk was not “nightly” - and he was my one-time assistant. Commander AAE was promoted to be a 2nd class pilot; he was not ready at m / m at night and at the military base, because they were not involved in this business. Such a sadness.

    Deputy Prosecutor General - Chief Military Prosecutor Sergei Fridinsky - wrote a letter to the Russian Minister of Defense Anatoly Serdyukov (2011), in which he draws attention to the criminal record of Lieutenant General Sergey Surovikin. A letter was sent to the head of the Ministry of Defense on December 2. It says that since November 2011, Lieutenant General Sergei Surovikin has been leading the working group on the creation of the military police "with the prospect of appointment" to the post of head of the main department of the military police of the Ministry of Defense. Fridinsky reminds the Minister that in September 1995, Surovikin, being a student of the Frunze Military Academy, was found guilty by the military court of the Moscow garrison of “complicity in the acquisition and sale, as well as carrying firearms and ammunition without permission” (Article 17, h .1 Art. 218 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR). He was sentenced to one year probation.

    “Not only for moral and ethical reasons, but also according to Art. 20 of the draft law “On the Military Police of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation”, a ban on serving in the military police of citizens who have or had a criminal record is reasonably provided, ”Fridinsky summarizes. However, if you delve into the biography of Lieutenant General Surovikin, you can easily find that the incident with a criminal record is far from the only dubious episode in his past. So, in April of this year, after a conversation with a lieutenant general, Colonel Andrei Shtakal, deputy commander of the 34th motorized infantry division in arms (32nd military town) committed suicide in front of his colleagues. Another high-profile incident involving Lieutenant General Surovikin took place a month earlier, in March of this year. Then the lieutenant colonel of one of the military units of Yekaterinburg, Viktor Tsibizov, appealed to the garrison prosecutor’s office with a complaint that he was beaten by his senior commander, division commander Major General Surovikin. The reason for the beating in the General’s office was, according to the victim, that Tsibizov voted “not for that candidate” at the March 14 by-election to the State Duma.

    According to Lieutenant Colonel Tsibizov, on March 14, senior officers brought him to the office of the division commander, Major General Surovikin, from the polling station, where he was an observer from the headquarters of State Duma candidate Yevgeny Zyablitsev. In the presence of the general, senior officers for several hours persistently “recommended” him not to appear at the polling station until the end of the vote, threatening with harsh sanctions, up to dismissal and failure to provide the apartment assigned to him, Tsibizov.
