The capture of Ishmael - the outstanding military achievement of his time
11 December 1790 of the year an event occurred, about which Alexander Suvorov would later write: “It was only possible to decide this once in a lifetime.”
The Russian army under the command of the legendary commander began the assault on the fortress, whose name is Ishmael. It was the most ambitious history humanity storming the largest in size and strength of the Ottoman Empire. By that time there had never been a more bloody battle, as contemporaries wrote about it. About 70 thousand people took part in the fighting.
Suvorov understood the significance of taking Ishmael. Without this, Russia would not have been able to put an end to the longstanding war with Turkey and, thereby, secure the Crimea, the Northern Black Sea region and carry out free trade in this region.
This assault, which many at first considered an adventure, is unique in itself. The attack, inferior in numbers to the enemy of the Russian troops, took place at night from nine sides, as a result of which the Turks were disoriented and could not determine from which position the main attack would be delivered. The fortress was taken, and, thanks to this victory, Russia has established itself as a Black Sea power.
The authors of the movie on TC Zvezda will restore the chronology of the assault of Ishmael and carry out a historical reconstruction of a number of attacks. Scouts from the Murom brigade of engineering troops and military personnel from the operational group of Russian troops in Transnistria, who will take part in these scenes, will try to catch the spirit of the times, the spirit of the Suvorov army.
