"The most difficult operation": Bundeswehr awarded medals for the evacuation from Kabul

The rapid fall of the government regime in Afghanistan after the withdrawal of US troops and its allies forced the Western partners to urgently return to this country in order to ensure the departure of their citizens from Kabul.

As the capital gradually passed into the hands of new rulers, countless people rushed to the airport to flee Afghanistan at the last minute.

- noted on the website of the Ministry of Defense of the Federal Republic of Germany.

As indicated, the armed forces of the Bundeswehr, together with the allied forces, guarded the airport territory to ensure the departure of German citizens and Afghans in need of evacuation. From the FRG, 600 fighters took part in the operation under the leadership of a brigadier general. The military department explains that the German military transport aviation provided transportation of about 5400 refugees to Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

This operation, which took 10 days, became "the largest and most difficult evacuation to date under the auspices of the Bundeswehr."

A special medal was issued as a token of appreciation and gratitude. A new award was received by servicemen who participated in the operation to transfer people over the air bridge between Afghanistan and Uzbekistan

- explained in the German Ministry of Defense.

The new award received the designation "MilEvakOp" ("military evacuation operation"). To date, 61 Bundeswehr medals have been awarded for 61 overseas missions. One of them is awarded for participation in a NATO battle group in Lithuania.

Medal "For the shameful flight"

[Observer2014]

Let's pray that the Germans are now only capable of this! My family paid a lot in those years! Enough. And you don't really need to pull a tiger's whiskers! These are not for you, invented by me! "Baltic Tigers"

And you don't really need to pull the tiger's mustache!

What kind of tigers - kittens, a slave nature already at the genetic level - several generations have grown up in occupation, repentance - it's not in vain that the grandfathers tried.

[Observer2014]

Whoever has real money is the king! Cat! And not the reasoning "not in vain did the grandfathers try."

[Shurik70]

Joke remembered.

Two acquaintances meet.
- Why are you so sad?
- Yes, enuresis tortured me. I do not know what to do.
- Go to the doctor. I know an excellent specialist.
A month later they meet again
- I see you no longer suffer from enuresis.
- I'm not suffering. Now I am proud of him.

So the Bundeswehr is proud of the evacuation.

Did Baltistan write down as tigers? For what merits? The fact that they have striped flags?
And for the German army.

What kind of army, such are the operations. For the current Bundeswehr, topple in time in danger like the Taliban is not the worst option.

[Andrey Moskvin]

Instead of medals "For the capture ..." of something, medals for participation and for the evacuation. Frederick Barbarossa turned over in his coffin.

[Storog dvornik]

Over the past 20-25 years, the EU countries and Germany, including, have been actively demilitarized, in response to the obvious attempts of the Anglo-Saxons to once again push their heads against collective Europe with Russia with the help of the provocations of the limitrophes, fake news and a powerful highly motivated fifth column from London and Washington in the political the EU elite ...
the Anglo-Saxons did it successfully in 1812, 1914, 1941 ... Why not try again? ...
They are being demilitarized very actively - pregnant defense ministers at military parades, lack of modernization and basic maintenance of existing equipment, a minimum of purchases and financing of new developments except for export, attempts to evade and outright sabotage financed by NATO, and of course a huge army of "combat" homosexual ...
Today, fighting tolerasts do not want to fight, and they do not know how ... Although many tanned young people who arrived from the South and East, according to the Anglo-Saxons' wishes, can change this situation ... But the "sausage" emigrants did not flee from the war from the South for that into the Norwegian frosts to become Europe's cannon fodder ...
On this lads, where you sit there and get off.
There are a lot of people who want to kill for money, but nowadays there is almost zero to die for slogans and ideas ...

Something anecdote remembered:
"At the front, the colonel bypasses the formation of the women's communications company. Everyone has medals on their chests."
military merit. "Only one of them notices the medal" For Courage. "
interested:
- How much do you have such a medal?
- And I resisted, Comrade Colonel, - the signalman answered proudly.

Somehow weak.
You need an iron cross with oak leaves and swords to it.

Medal "For Get Out in Time"

"" MilEvakOp "(" military evacuation operation ")"
Correct title: beschämender Flug- shameful escape.

[Incvizitor]

Proud retreat.

"To date, 61 Bundeswehr medals have been awarded for 61 overseas missions. One of them is awarded for participation in a NATO battle group in Lithuania."
Am I the only one who did not understand anything from this phrase?

Soon there will be medals for the teachings to be given to the campaign

From 2001 to August 2021, the German authorities spent more than € 17,3 billion on the mission in Afghanistan ... The Bundeswehr ... a total of about € 12,3 billion was spent on the participation of the Bundeswehr ... Ministry of Affairs economic cooperation and development of the Federal Republic of Germany allocated about € 2,46 billion to Afghanistan, and the Ministry of Food and Agriculture spent about € 33 million .... the statistics do not include funds sent to Afghanistan by the German Federal Intelligence Service. https://tass.ru/mezhdunarodnaya-panorama/12577703.

There should be gold medals. And how many Americans have left the technology! Real winners.

Yoprst ... 600 fighters, 12.3 billion euros, 20 years.
It turns out to be 1 million 25 thousand euros per person per year or 85 thousand euros per month.
And after all, they practically did not fight, for the most part they sat at their bases ...
and how cheese rolled in butter, or what?
Or someone robustly so playful hands warmed up?

How much does it cost to maintain one Russian serviceman in Syria, for example? I suspect that it is an order of magnitude ... well, certainly several times less. With all ammunition, maintenance, food, fuel, uniforms, medical supplies and allowances.

"For coming to service on Monday!"

It's funny that our elite (Medvedev, Shoigu, etc.) have only such medals in the main.

Topic about the Bundeswehr. If you are interested in talking about Medvedev and Shoigu, create a topic.

[agoran]

The striped people have long been talking about the withdrawal of troops.
The Germans are pragmatists and could have foreseen this situation.
But there a woman drives, that's such a crap-vegetable.

[komandir8]

He put his hand on his shoulder (pictured), it would be better to pat on the cheek, as the Fuhrer did.

[sledak]

And from the taiga to the British seas
the Bundeswehr skids all the faster!

[Kushka]

In the taiga, two unlucky hunters raised a bear.
Think - "take the fight" or skedaddle.
The first takes sneakers out of his backpack and takes off his high boots.
The second, with a sneer - and you think to run away from the bear in sneakers?
-No, but it will be enough for me to overtake you.

[Siegfried]

the medal was supposed to depict an A-400 taking off with a bunch of people on the chassis and JEDEM DAS SEINE falling too

It's funny that the paws of the eagle on the medals are like those of an ostrich ...

The most brilliant operation after the Second World War was the evacuation of 20 tons of beer from Kabul. The Ardennes and others nervously smoke on the sidelines.

[rusich]

And for walking out of necessity in the field, when will they start handing over ???? If only they would not be disgraced. Shameful drape, considered a feat

Well, you have to put on something. We have military awards: the Order of Courage, the Medal of Courage, the title of Hero. And what and what for them?

[Palestinian]

and here we remember the battle of Stalingrad ... the Kursk Bulge ... the Berlin operation ... and then they sat down and took off ... voila ... heroes !!!)))))))

[Dikson]

The British did a better job - there the special forces changed into women in order to leave without loss .. Well, Cho, under the burqa, you can't understand if you don't shine with your boots .. One source said: “It was a very covert operation. On Friday, Kandahar fell, and the guys were there for five days after that. The enemy went into a rage and destroyed many Afghan commandos, with whom 20 British were working. Therefore, the evacuation operation had to be carried out urgently.
We must pay tribute to the crew of the "Hercules" from the 47th squadron, which at night, in night vision devices, landed the plane on rough terrain, and then again lifted it into the air, taking the guys on board along with their equipment. It was a textbook operation. ".

[SERGOL]

Equated to the medal "For order in the nightstand".

[sgr291158]

They have sunk, they are distributing medals for the flight.

[Slon_on]

Well, the Germans love to wear all sorts of pendants on their uniforms. And I somehow remembered their medal "for frostbitten meat."

[Tests]

Thrifty, respected, and our native Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation will not surpass any enemy in the number of departmental ngrads! A junior soldier marched at a parade on Red Square or at a parade in a hero-city - get a medal of the RF Ministry of Defense. On the 70th or 75th anniversary of the Victory, a young army soldier walked through Red Square - another departmental medal of the RF Ministry of Defense, by the way, giving benefits to a labor veteran. On the NSR or "Zvezdochka", or "Arctic" men will work for 5-10 years, they go to the seas to test boats, maybe their work in the seas on the delivery of the boat will be noticed by the crew representatives and then the civilian Specialist can receive a medal of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation "Admiral of the Fleet Soviet Union SG Gorshkov ":" The medal may be awarded to personnel of other services of the Armed Forces, as well as other persons directly involved in the design, construction and repair of ships and vessels, submarines, aircraft and other military equipment intended for the Navy , for a great personal contribution, which made it possible to significantly improve the combat capabilities of weapons and military equipment. "Recently" Severodvinsk "from the seas after the test of" Zircon "returned to Severodvinsk ... But the same medal could be received for:" participation in the parade on Red Square in honor of the 60th anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War (standard bearers, guides, first rank) "... The Germans in Kabul could really become a victim of a terrorist attack (I'm talking about a mine-adult trauma), get under fire from a sniper, under a machine gun, under mortar fire. And what is the danger at the anniversary parade on Red Square? And the FSO, and the FSB, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs do not chew their bread in vain. A medal for a parade and a medal for the evacuation from a country gripped by an enormous love for a white man in military uniform, I don’t know ... I would shake hands with a German with great respect - he really helped people whose lives and health were in real danger ... I never took part in the parade on Red Square, but I took part in the parade in the capital of the Union republic 4 times during my cadet years ...

[Flank]

Hmm, the last time the Germans were evacuated by air from the Kennel airfield near Stalingrad.

[Reserve buildbat]

Golden crosses were instituted and immediately awarded for drapes - those who fled with weapons; Silver crosses for drape - to those who escaped without weapons, but in bulletproof vests; Bronze crosses for drape - somehow escaped.
