The crew of the Mi-24 shot down in Armenia awarded the Order of Courage

The crew members of the Mi-24 helicopter shot down in Armenia were awarded the Order of Courage. The corresponding decree was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin. This was reported by the Kremlin press service.

By his decree, Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded the Order of Courage to Senior Lieutenant Vladislav Sergeevich Gryazin, Major Ishuk Yuri Viktorovich (posthumously), and Senior Lieutenant Fedin Roman Vasilyevich (posthumously) for courage, courage and dedication displayed in the performance of military duty,

- said in a statement.



Recall that on November 9, 2020, the Russian Mi-24 helicopter, accompanying the convoy of the 102nd Russian military base through the territory of Armenia, was shot down by a MANPADS missile in the airspace outside the combat zone near the Armenian settlement of Yeraskh near the border of the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic. As a result, two crew members were killed and another was injured.


Baku claimed the blame for the incident, stating that the helicopter was shot down by accident. Azerbaijan expressed condolences, apologized to the Russian side and announced its readiness to pay compensation. At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the republic stressed that this incident was in no way directed against Russia.

Currently, this fact is being investigated by two parties at once, the Ministry of Defense of Russia and Azerbaijan are in constant communication.

        This is not PR, but respect for the Russian peacekeepers who fell in battle in the performance of their military duty to protect the interests of Russian national security in the South Caucasus!
        And these are the first and, unfortunately, not the last victims of Russia in this civil war between Armenians and Azerbaijanis.
        Serving in times of war, establishing peace, one must really have courage!

        Our condolences to the families and friends of the victims who defended the interests of the national security of the Russian Federation in the Caucasus!

            diplomat Karlov was given a "hero" in general ... he caught a bullet in the back. a strange "feat" agree?, let's say the order "For Service to the Fatherland" would be appropriate. And for the Pilots, I don’t argue, the families Condolences, guys, flew without any "presidents" and "Vitebsk" promoted, practically along the front line. I think they knew what they were doing, they rest in peace. but the bosses are slagged into underpants forever. so the reward is quite appropriate.

              Rewarding the dead in return for severe punishment of the perpetrators of their death, including from among their own bosses and management, whose incompetent actions or inaction led to the loss of personnel and equipment - there is an inappropriate, shameful attempt to hide a grimace, crime and his accomplices, under the guise of "benefactors ".

                A spouse can receive a survivor's pension for life, children - until they come of age. As for their education, they already enjoy the advantage, right up to admission to closed educational institutions both at the secondary education level, and then to any state universities, where they enter on a privilege. So the father's reward just gives such an opportunity, otherwise they would only use the survivor's pension until adulthood.

              Well, and those that flew and were not shot down, are they not worthy? I, too, do not understand this crap with rewarding. What are they awarded for? The Su-24 pilot shot down in Syria was given a hero for just flying, and the Marine who died saving him received a lower reward. Those. the military serve, but reward those who fell under the hammers? What's the point? What is the heroism of the commander of the Su-24, in relation to other pilots? Yes, I understand, tragedy, you need to encourage. But the hero of Russia? !!! What is it?

                  Well, do not make it up - it is not they who write the performance, which is why a number of factors are always taken into account when evaluating the award, including the personality of the person being awarded. And then even the propaganda factor is taken into account, which, by the way, was even during the Great Patriotic War. So it is not necessary to take everything so primitively, as if there is a "scale of achievement" that allows you to reliably determine who and what deserved - there is no trace of it.

          The 102nd Russian military base was created in accordance with the Treaty on the Legal Status of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the Territory of Armenia, signed on August 21, 1992, and the Treaty on the Russian military base on the territory of the Republic of Armenia dated March 16, 1995

            Because when there is a war between Armenians and Azerbaijanis and peace is officially declared and the end of the war between them, then in each of the belligerent parties there are always forces - people who do not agree with the conclusion of this peace and demand not only the continuation of these wars, but also continue to fight among themselves, and the peacekeepers only interfere with this.
            Therefore, those who disagree with the world in war, they shoot at peacekeepers from both sides - not only in their chests, but also in their backs! The peacekeepers have practically no rear of their own. Something like this.

                But, firstly, precisely because of the civil war between Armenians and Azerbaijanis, the Russian MI-24 in Armenia near the border with Azerbaijan was still shot down!
                And secondly, why is the 102nd base of the RF Armed Forces located, in your opinion, in Armenia - on the border with Azerbaijan? What functions does it have? Armenia is a member of the CSTO.

                  The main mission of the Gyumri Russian base is a timely response to any threats against the southern borders of Russia, protecting Armenia as an ally in the CSTO. Under the extended agreement from 2010, Russian troops can legally be stationed in Gyumri until 2044.

They have at their disposal several hundred tanks and armored combat vehicles, S-300 V anti-aircraft missile systems (988th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment), MiG-29 fighters, Mi-24P and Mi-8MT helicopters at the Erebuni airfield.
                  90% of sergeants and contract soldiers of the 102nd base, although they have Russian passports, are local residents and ethnic Armenians. The Russians are mainly command personnel.

        Well, then you need to have different orders for this. Agree, chaining retreating comrades from the Czechs alone with a machine gun is another matter than performing a typical flight in a regular way and suddenly being shot down. Americans, for example, have a separate purple heart for this.

      Of course, I would like to know under which article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation they were excited? If under the article "Negligence", then this is insanity. We will continue to receive "slaps" in the face, as with R. Khabibullin, R. Filipov, O. Peshkov ... the Russian Ambassador to Turkey ... with a muttering "sorry" and a carload of tomatoes ...

      It is necessary to initiate under Article 361 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Act of International Terrorism" and judge in Russia.

      1. Committing an explosion, arson or other actions outside the territory of the Russian Federation endangering the life, health, freedom or inviolability of citizens of the Russian Federation for the purpose of disrupting the peaceful coexistence of states and peoples or directed against the interests of the Russian Federation, as well as the threat of committing these actions -

      This is a very good question, as well as what the military intelligence of Armenia and our base did in order to prevent such acts of sabotage from the neighboring regions of another country. As far as I understand, this launch was not carried out by standard air defense crews of Azerbaijan, which means that someone was behind this, and the target was tracked in advance.

        It is unlikely that Azerbaijan took responsibility without delay - that means they know who, when and from what. Consequently, there were no "non-standard" (???) air defense crews in the area, otherwise they would have turned the arrows to Armenians, international terrorists (who accidentally infiltrated the territory) and similar excuses.

          In fact, MANPADS are the standard armament of the companies in the ground forces, as far as I remember, and not the air defense means of anti-aircraft missile regiments. And something tells me that this method was used to destroy our helicopter. And they confessed only because our commanders could overwhelm more than one side of the Azerbaijani Air Force in retaliation in this way, so they were afraid of retribution.

      Isn't it a virtue to die doing military duty?
      Yes, death is different. And not everyone is given the opportunity to show courage and perseverance before death.
      Simply because death is sudden and unexpected.
      How does this diminish the soldier's willingness to lay down his life in the line of duty?

        Read the dictionary:
        Courage is a volitional act committed consciously, the implementation of which requires the individual to overcome fear.

        Consciously, do you understand? If you just suddenly died, it is not conscious. Here, in meaning, the award of the "St. George's Cross" level is more suitable, encouraging so to speak. Although any medal is already dead equally, the best reward would be a fair punishment for the shooters and the dismissal of commanders. But this will not happen, the topic has already been actively "passed" and will not return to it.

            I wrote the level of the St. George's cross - that is, a consolation award, but an officer's. Surely there is one. The order for the fact that they flew and died is unnecessary to give, this devalues ​​the award. For if you evaluate equally those who deliberately chose death for themselves for the sake of others or to complete a task and those who simply died, you turn the order into a penny rattle.

    Of course, sorry for the victims, but what kind of courage can we talk about? In our country, there has always been a very poor separation of "heroes" and "victims" - here specifically, no "courage" simply could have been shown - people were suddenly shot down over non-military territory. Everything. The end. And no courage.
    When our DRY was knocked out in Syria and the pilot fired back as much as he could, and then blew himself up with a grenade, that's courage.
    When a sailor on a submarine climbed into the reactor room and manually closed the valves - this is courage.
    And when people were simply shot down in a helicopter - this is not courage, from any angle. Courage implies a strong-willed decision and a CHOICE as such - these guys did not have a choice and did not have time for a strong-willed decision. So all this is a pathetic attempt to "hush up" and paint over the incident.

      What other line of contact? The helicopter was shot down over the territory of Armenia, which is not officially at war with Azerbaijan. Karabakh is on the other side of Armenia than Nakhichevan. The border of Armenia with Turkey and Iran, according to the agreement, is guarded by Russia. Thus, the war machine had every reason to be where it was at the time of the attack. What other arguments are needed to understand that the probability of hitting a helicopter was reduced to almost zero? It was precisely a provocation, perhaps carefully prepared.
      There was also every reason to strike back immediately - and only then figure out who, why and how. But there was no retaliatory strike - we will not know why soon. From this point of view, yes, I would like to see a tougher reaction.
      And the dead pilots, in my opinion, are worthy of the awards. If only because they were ready to carry out the order, despite all the dangers. They would have stayed alive and would have had to shoot back on the ground - I am sure they would have done so.
