Two Russian airborne troops killed during joint exercises in Belarus

Two Russian paratroopers were killed during a joint exercise by Russian and Belarusian Airborne Forces units held at the Gozhsky training ground in the Grodno region. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense.

According to the military department, during the landing, due to a strong gust of wind, two parachutes descended, as a result of which both domes went out. One of the servicemen tried to rescue both of them with a reserve parachute, but the attempts were in vain. As stated in the Ministry of Defense, despite the efforts of doctors, both paratroopers died from their injuries.

The military department noted that both paratroopers were contract servicemen, were highly qualified and were instructors in parachute training.

Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the transfer of an airborne unit to Belarus as part of a "surprise check" for joint exercises with Belarusian paratroopers. The landing from the Il-76 military transport aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces took place on the territory of the Gozhsky training ground near Grodno.

The exercises are associated with the growing tension at the borders of the Union State of Russia and Belarus. How long the exercises will last and whether additional forces will be transferred to the republic, the Defense Ministry does not report.

Earlier, at the training ground in the Republic of Belarus, Russian Tu-160 bombers were bombed as part of training combat missions.

Unfortunately, this often happens during exercises. I personally saw three two hundredths during the service. And, all for one reason: improper planning / irresponsible execution.

[The leader of the Redskins]

Good afternoon. For the service, I only unloaded "zinc" at the airport. But the Airborne Forces is a separate case. Everything is more dangerous there. Mom only jumped once. For yourself...
My father had a friend who was disabled. There was no leg. It turns out that during the exercises, the BMD "landed" on its leg ....

From what is etched into the memory. The soldier equipped the IM-100 (inserted an electric detonator) and then included it in the circuit. There was a current in the circuit. I still cannot forget his mother ...

When you sing songs on earth,
The sky will sing along quietly to you.
Those who died for their Motherland in flight,
We continue our flight forever ...

We're not silent shadows at all
We are the wind and the cry of cranes ...
The dead in the sky for the motherland
Become the sky above her.

We breathe warming birds' nests
We lull the children at midnight.
It seems to you that stars are watching from the sky
And we are looking at you from heaven ...

Well, what are you like a man? He said his word, don't care about others ???? I have a dad in
Avgane died, do not care it will be like you

Dear admins, please remove the inadequacy from the branch. This is not the place for the srach usual in VO.

[militarist63]

I have a dad in


Avgane died, do not care it will be like you

Listen, "orphan", you would then, for a start, know better where your dad "died" !!! "AVGAN" is where ??!

[Thompson]

And you didn’t understand, just to cheer

[militarist63]

Yes I understand! Only I realized that he was either a fake son (which is most likely) of the one who died in Afghanistan (a kind of son of Lieutenant Schmidt), or just a lame son (if his father really died there) ....!
My children (for example) know very well that I served in Afghanistan, and not some "avgan" for more than 2 years. And I talked and communicate with children, widows, parents of the dead brothers, and they all know perfectly well how the places where their relatives died are called correctly!

[And Us Rat]

Sadly. So from scratch.
Apparently, you need to review the safety precautions in order to avoid repetitions in the future.
Unfortunately, most of the time, safety guidelines are written in blood.
Condolences to relatives.

What is the safety technique for combat alert? These were not training jumps. There, yes, with strong gusts of wind, jumps are canceled. It's a pity for the boys, but this is the kind of service.

The safety precautions of jumps and parachutes as such, in this case, I see 3 points that require verification ..
1. The minimum allowed interval between jumping.
2. The maximum permissible wind speed for jumping.
3. Engineering study of the parachute system to prevent overlaps.

A combat alarm is not an excuse for a senseless risk, you will not throw off a landing in a tornado, or inadequately overload an aircraft, just because there is a "combat alarm". The task of the officer is to find an adequate way of executing orders, and not to drive the personnel to slaughter, hoping at random.
This tragedy showed that not everything can be foreseen. But in such difficult lessons, you need to learn and correct mistakes, and not look for excuses for inaction!
Anyone who calls to take this for granted and do nothing - just spit at the sacrifice of these guys and leave the door open for future tragedies.

Are they ready to say this to their mothers in the face?
And from the ease with which many on this forum (who did not smell gunpowder) relate to the lives and deaths of the soldiers of their country, I just have my wool on end.

Everlasting memory…
He himself began to jump among athletes - they tried not to jump with the military - the flow ... a lot of risk
And then they never left us in a "stream" - there is a lot of risk ...
My condolences..

[Alex_1973]

Rest in peace to them and eternal memory! Condolences to family and friends, you cannot return the children and the loss of relatives cannot be compensated. But this is truly a man's work.

It happens.
There is nothing to be done, the air ocean is also the ocean.
Masters of sports in parachuting are dying, I was a witness.

[iouris]

This is most likely the consequences of the organization of the exercise, in particular, the underestimation of weather conditions.
The information passed much earlier than the Russian official structures confirmed it. This is not a good trend. The bitter truth must be communicated. The truth is always bitter.

[Alexey Lesogor]

Let the commission draw conclusions. I jump myself. It is not possible to calculate everything. If the incident happened with the contractors, then something went wrong. For guys, the kingdom of heaven. Our sincere condolences to families.

[Shiden]

So the information was earlier, but on the VO they discussed the teachings themselves and not who even wrote in the comments about the emergency. Do you know why? They would just throw minuses and a label they would hang because if a tragedy happens, then besides "We remember we grieve," they only know how to write. But if an article or commentary is published where the authors ask themselves what the authorities are doing so that there are no such cases and who will respond to sloppiness, then grief patriots will pour out so much dirt in the comments that you don't even want to write.

[Looking for]

Avy.chto "schoolgirl". What are you afraid of cons? What do you want these "minuses"?

[Shiden]

So the first grief a patriot showed up immediately hung a label. And they are afraid that a minus on chickens is not scary, it's scary when a person has a TV set. And in general, when such emergencies occur, I try not to comment and not put pros and cons, you know why by that that some do not sincerely write to them all that it is necessary to raise the rating. After all, they are not interested in the fact that two people died behind the ambitions of politicians.

I saw how the rucksacks were torn,
They were instantly torn to pieces
And fingers torn to blood
Broke pins, rings and locks (c)

Eternal memory to these guys.

I had a convergence in the army. There was the 12th jump, as it turned out to be the last, I didn't have a chance to jump anymore. The domes collided, then parted without extinguishing. I was a little higher, raised my legs, walked my ass on the dome of a stranger. One line of the other parachute somewhere behind the knapsack clung to, somehow managed to unhook it with a hand. On earth, everyone was in a strong a..ue. At that moment there was no fear, only much later I realized what could have been. But to be honest, I was ready to cut the lines and open the spare tire. I do not know whether it would be successful or not if the situation escalated, but thank God everything went well.
And during his entire service, only one officer crashed on a sports parachute, got entangled in the lines and could not do anything. By the way, he was a very cool officer. Marine Corps Training Center "Saturn" in Sevastopol, Captain Svirsky. Maybe someone will read from those who knew him, remember.

Thanks. I have not read the article before. He knew about the incident from the words of his colleagues, some of whom were on the plane with him during the last jump.
I knew all the officers mentioned in the article, except for two. I was in Saturn in the previous set, our release was in the fall of 82nd.

[Barberry25]

Rest in peace, alas, such things happen during exercises (

[Knell wardenheart]

It's terrible when trained guys who have gone through so much on the path of a paratrooper die in peacetime and like this, in a situation where all their training could not help them (We need to improve these systems further, too unacceptable risk from such force majeure ..

[Vadim237]

This means that fundamentally new parachutes need to be developed with a third combination system along with two parachutes, something like jet braking at the ground and deployment of a softening cushion if the main baths do not open or the wind blew away here.

[Graz]

Kingdom of heaven to the defenders of the native land!

[Keer]

Rest in peace.
After the incident, there is not enough data to discuss. Height, reserve characteristics and braiding configuration are not clear.

The guys lived in the sky, and they took heaven! Condolences to relatives and friends is an eternal memory to real warriors !!!

My condolences. I'm sorry guys. Poor parents ...

Eh ... what a grief .. I am always hurt and bitter when, like this, not in battle, but by accident, oversight or mistake, the guys in the army are dying ... Green first years, and experienced contract soldiers, officers are dying ... Families and condolences to loved ones ..

Yesterday I went to the Ukrainian site MU UA .... look how much there is ............. (God forgive me) negative, that's why .... yes, during the exercises, we were also given 2% mortality ... then the British Rhine Army stood in front of us .... but even they then expressed their condolences to us (by radio, live broadcast) if something happened to us .... and what a squeal, and delight from it. ... our "brothers" And the guys who died .... the land to them in peace

well, they are allowed .- "brothers" after all.

[Glagol1]

In the USSR, there was a standard for the death of paratroopers during exercises. 3 ppm or 0,3% of the personnel. Those. if out of a thousand paratroopers three or less died, the Ministry of Defense did not create a commission, the circumstances were clarified in the usual way. Horror of course. The guys are very sorry, to tears. The cost of a country's combat capability.
