Two generals received the title of Hero of Russia for the Syrian operation

Two senior military men were awarded the title of Heroes of Russia for participating in the counter-terrorist operation in the Syrian Arab Republic. This was reported by TASS, citing a source in the military department.

According to information provided by the source, the titles of Heroes of Russia were awarded to Colonel General Sergei Rudsky, Chief of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces, and Colonel General Andrei Serdyukov, Commander of the Airborne Forces. Awarding took place on February 23. Thus, the merits of both generals in Syria were noted.

Rudskoy and Serdyukov received gold stars of Heroes of Russia on February 23

- the agency leads the words of the source.

As previously reported, Andrei Serdyukov led the Russian group in Syria in early April 2019. According to the plans of the Ministry of Defense, he was supposed to fly on a business trip in 2017, but had a car accident in the Murmansk region and underwent lengthy rehabilitation. It was Serdyukov who established joint patrols with the Turks and strengthened the cooperation of the parties. Since 2016, he has commanded the Airborne Forces.

Colonel General Sergei Rudskoy led the operations of Russian troops in Syria. Since 2015, he is the head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Medals must be handed out when everything is over there.

[Whisper]

They will figure it out ... when and what to give out! And generally think what you wrote.

[YOUR]

And what to think. Over the entire Afghan war, the title of Hero of the Soviet Union received 86 people, of which only 3 generals. And there were more troops and operations equated to front-line operations. In Syria, out of 23 who received the title of Hero of Russia, 12 generals of the General Staff are already.

[Yrec]

Oh, have you been in a hurry?

they have a "queue" for ranks .. Not all district commanders have received the award yet.

What is what, in your opinion, during the Great Patriotic War, it was also necessary to wait for May 9, 45 to present all the awards in a crowd? Yes, and during the "Chechen campaign" and other hostilities. They were not awarded for the capture of Idlib. And, unfortunately, it is still far from the end there, consider the First World Hybrid War going on, let's hope it will not reach the Third World War and there are still many awards, the most important thing is not posthumous ones, you have to worry about this, but that is too early or it is not too early for the Ministry of Defense to know better, it is not us who are handed over and it is not we who handed over and it is not for us to judge. Moreover, the title of Hero in Russia is awarded for the beautiful eyes.

[Horst78]

in VO also issued awards after May 9, 1945?

[aszzz888]

The orders of the Commander-in-Chief are not discussed, therefore you can congratulate these officers on the presentation of the highest awards of Russia.

[Well done]

"Heroes" are distributed only to generals, the rest are rare and often posthumous. Tired of hypocrisy. I wouldn't be surprised if Major General of Police Wolf gets a star soon ...

Regulation on the title of Hero of the Russian Federation
The title of Hero of the Russian Federation is awarded for services to the state and people associated with the commission of a heroic feat.
I would like specifics. In which heroism and feat are the gentlemen generals noticed?

[Lannan Shi]

Gentlemen who disagree, you at least diminish. But a statute is a statute. If you are supposed to give for a heroic deed, then only for a heroic deed. And not "in total", not "for the anniversary" and not "just a board for his peasant." Don't worry about the generals. Half a dozen orders have been invented especially for them. There are plenty of options to please. And hanging something that they frankly did not deserve ... Just a spit on the graves of those who received the Hero posthumously. Well, to the heap there is a direct path to dear Leonidas fivefold. And complete discrediting of the awards as such.
Py.Sy.
And yes. You are no longer able to understand the meaning of the word hero ..

During the Second World War, army commanders were given the titles of Heroes. But they did not run ahead of the attack with a revolver. You will broaden your horizons a little, the word "feat" is a very multifaceted concept. Because

Among those awarded the title are cosmonauts, military personnel, participants in the Great Patriotic War and other military operations, test pilots, athletesscouts scientists and many others.

I agree with this - in my opinion, there really was some sort of sorting out with the number of different awards. But I just don’t understand one thing, why are you not in Putin’s place?

the rest rarely and often posthumously

This, unfortunately, is true, with rare exceptions.
But this is understandable. The loyalty of the "elite" (high-ranking officials, generals, artists and others) is much more important to him. With their help, he controls the people (that is, us), manipulates through propaganda, punishes and punishes those who disagree through the security forces, steals and takes away our money through officials, etc.

The ox in this list is far behind, but this lady, the former deputy of Serdyukov (for the tax service), whom Mishustin quickly removed, how many awards he has, this is a combat general and another contender for the "Golden Star". Well, the "ploughmen of the desert" will only earn a medal.

Well, start with the fact that Gazmanov Jr. was awarded the DEPARTMENTAL MEDAL, and the generals were awarded STATE awards. Do you understand the difference?

This is not the point. Many of the boys who have gone through the war have not been given ANYTHING at all!

Let's take Marshal Vasilevsky - a reference "planner", don't you agree? I hope you don’t need to tell. So even this chief of the General Staff, the author of victorious operations during the years of the greatest war on the planet, was never awarded the title of Hero for this! He, of course, twice the GSS, but both times only for direct command and control of troops at the front - in the Baltics and Japan. By the way, he was even shell-shocked.

Sometimes real lives are saved from the office. If you think that it is easier in offices, go and prove it. In any case, the Supreme knows who to reward and for what and acts within the framework of his authority. And if it is possible to describe a feat in detail about a breasted embrasure, then armchair affairs for tens of years have been in the special storage under the heading "sov.secret", and not at all because it is a shame to show them.

Nothing in the world is new. My father started the Finnish war in the 40th year, on June 22 in Brest, finished near Harbin, the artilleryman finished the whole war, he graduated with the division commander and only one order, and his political officer had four orders.

In your opinion, Heroes are given only for "undermining yourself"?

Among those awarded the title are cosmonauts, military personnel, participants in the Great Patriotic War and other military operations, test pilots, athletesscouts scientists and many otherse .... The total number of known awards of the title of Hero of the Russian Federation (as of January 29, 2020) is 1110 people,

Remember when the former Minister of Defense Serdyukov became a Hero of Russia? What year was the award?
As far as I know from his awards:
“For Merits” from the FSSP
Order of the Holy Right Prince Daniel of Moscow, III degree, from the Russian Orthodox Church
Order of Friendship of Peoples from Belarus
Premium registered gun from Yanukovych.

Personally, they commanded the operation, and then covered up the withdrawal of the main forces and caused fire on themselves .... playing soldiers in the offices!
Thus, the title of "Hero" will lose its significance.
It is necessary to introduce a new title - Hero of armored wars or computer games!

Do not understand. But the feat is where. Well, they performed well the direct duties, the maximum gratitude, well, or the reward of the commander for the brilliantly conducted military operation, although where it is military. And so, the fighter blew himself up and the barmalei with a grenade and agreeing on a patrol schedule with the Turks is the same thing?

I read comments and wonder. Many people find that the high command should not receive the highest awards without undermining itself with a grenade. Well and game! And the fact that they can save hundreds, thousands of lives with their actions, can get them out of their surroundings, can they carry out an offensive operation competently, with minimal losses, what should we do with this?

I have a civilian taxpayer question: what, apart from these two generals, no one has done heroic deeds? And what exactly is the "heroism" of these two, of course, worthy officers? And in general, in from us in one regional center there is a street that is called that: the street of the surgeon Sh-a, who worked all his life in this hospital until his very last day. Why are there so few ordinary doctors and teachers from the provinces among the awarded, who have worked honestly and conscientiously in one place all their lives? Does GDP rally around itself the vertical of power now also horizontally?
