In Soledar, the majority of Ukrainian prisoners are paratroopers trained in the UK

In the process of the liberation of Soledar by the Russian troops, the Ukrainian formations suffered huge losses in personnel and military equipment. Many Ukrainian fighters were taken prisoner. Since the Kyiv regime also threw its best units to defend Soledar, the majority of prisoners of war are servicemen of the 77th Airmobile Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).


The formation of this brigade became known in the fall of 2022. It began to be formed in Zhytomyr on the basis of the 199th training center of the air assault troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. She was supposed to be the eighth brigade in the composition of these "elite" troops.

The brigade consisted of at least three battalions. The brigades were armed with Tanks, so Soviet and Western-made infantry fighting vehicles. The servicemen of the brigade wore the uniform with crimson berets established in the air assault troops of Ukraine.

Most of the brigade's personnel received combat training in the UK. A special training center was created there to train the Ukrainian military. The brigade's military personnel were trained under the guidance of British military instructors.

However, training in a foreign training center did not help the "elite" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: the fighters of the Russian PMC "Wagner" surrounded and destroyed a significant part of the brigade's personnel in Soledar. Many soldiers of the brigade were taken prisoner.

Yesterday, the founder of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said that those fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who did not stop resistance and did not surrender were destroyed. Prigozhin also ruled out the possibility of providing any "humanitarian corridors" for the release of prisoners.

      Remind me, please, when Prigozhin released those who were the most stoned prisoner? As we say, zvizdet is not to turn back bags.

          And rightly so!

          For the speedy victory of Russia over the Nazi regime in Kyiv, the historical experience of fate in the release of inveterate Nazis in the ranks of Ukrainian prisoners of war after the capture of Mariupol by our troops suggests exactly this.

        Prigozhin did not let go, but at the beginning of the operation, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (those very respected comrades who were allegedly not Nazis) were simply squeezed out, leaving the corridors. this idiocy will be included in the textbooks of "military art"

          Please don't write nonsense. Firstly, in terms of organizing and conducting such operations, Prigogine does not decide anything, and no one asks him anything. He is only the OWNER of PMCs, he does not organize the database and does not manage them !!! PMCs operate as part of a general grouping of forces and means, acting in the direction that PMCs indicate and perform the tasks that they are ordered to! Now, no one ever made any "corridors" for the withdrawal of the enemy. The enemy has always sought to surround and destroy. But, it is not always possible to have time to surround him, the enemy is not stupid, understanding the risk of encirclement, he also decides to withdraw (as we did in the Kharkov direction), and the only question is whether the encirclement will have time to close or most of the troops will be able to withdraw .

                in essence, I’ll add that the level of Wagner is certainly high (yet the composition there was about 40% before the mobilization of prisoners, our officers from lieutenant to major, all motivated), but SAS is also known for its “successes” exclusively from the tales of British tabloids, but in fact on In the Malvinas, they got lost during the landing as much as 78 km and went out on their own, arranging a fight for a day (until they figured it out) ... but how did ours catch them in Syria in women's clothes? And how did they whine so that ours would let a group of British officers and SAS fighters out of the surrounded command post? They had a lot of things, but there were no successes against a serious opponent.

            Well, nevertheless, deliberate exit corridors were made in history. For example, Konev in 1945 deliberately delayed closing the boiler in Silesia so that German troops would leave from there and not destroy a large industrial area in battles.

            Our prisoners, our soldiers, our volunteers, this is the most valuable thing we have, but if the leadership easily changes the ideological leaders of Azov for prisoners, then there was no need to make statements about tribunals, trials, executions of Azov and foreign mercenaries.

            besides, Medvedchuk went as a "bonus" personally through Abramovich (crow to crow ... partners, after all). And what kind of "Azovites", then 1) not all of them were exchanged, 2) the most publicized ones were locked up in Turkey (moreover, at the request of Zelya, shameful people who surrendered with wagons of ammunition and grub are unprofitable for PR in Kyiv), 3) the rest (who with hands about legs still) are outwardly decent appearance, but in Mariupol long round-the-clock battles with the use of combat psychotropics ended for them with complete degradation of the liver, spleen, pancreas and kidneys, now they can’t even bring cartridges, they can’t get out of hospitals and only transplant organs recently taken from the wounded from the battlefield. So the dill didn’t get anything so good, one headache.

        In fact, Wagner and Prigozhin, as you put it, "sing" from the Soledar they took. Those. did something like more than "turning bags." And they did it successfully...

        But in general, this position is absolutely Suvorov. BEFORE the battle (battle), the enemy is invited to lay down their arms and, peacefully, get out. And then, "MY first shot" is already "bondage" (that is, - captivity ...), STORM - DEATH ...

        And since A. V. Suvorov never "zvizdel", his method ALWAYS WORKED PERFECTLY ...

And even if the losses of the attackers are many times less than those of the defenders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, then, to put it mildly, they are still there.

        Well, why are you doing this? Even the most inveterate optimist understands that there is no war without losses. Do you propose to abandon the assault on the positions of the Banderlogs and move on to persuasion, so that they would feel ashamed and, having laid down their arms, dispersed to the farms?

            Can I find out where you get about the practice of frontal attacks? If Soledar was taken head-on, how did the cauldron form there? And if you look at the map, you can see that they are also trying to cover Artyomovsk from the flanks and cut the supply lines. Actually, Soledar was taken, among other things, to cover Artemovsk from the north. When Liman was taken in the summer, Gorskoye, Zolote and Severodonetsk with Lisichansk also used flank coverage. It's just not so easy to cover from the flank, you still need to break through the front somewhere.

            In fact, any military practice is ambiguous. Including the practice of wide coverage and deep breakthroughs, so beloved by couch experts. For example, the German plan "Citadel" involved flank attacks with cutting off, encirclement and destruction of the Soviet grouping on the Kursk salient. But something did not go according to the plan of the German OKW.

        Well, why didn't they "think"? ..

        We even perfectly understand that here, in addition to combat losses, there are other OBJECTIVE reasons that are NOT LESS SIGNIFICANT for CHKV Wagner.

        Despite the fact that the very status and conceptual role of PMCs, as such, at a serious - scientific - analytical level, has not yet been absolutely worked out in Russia. Nevertheless, their activities OUTSIDE of Russia, as private business structures, for all their "specifics", Russian legislation does not prohibit ...

        Moreover, according to contracts concluded by PMCs with LEGAL authorities of foreign states or LEGAL business structures of these states ...

        ANY INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITY REQUIRES A POSITIVE reputation (in other words, demonstrations of OBVIOUS and GREAT SUCCESS) of an entrepreneurial structure (in our case, PMC Wagner) in the chosen field of activity ... I.e. that very POSITIVE "PR" ...

        You could now name AT LEAST ONE, "foreign" PMC - American, British, German, or "Hyeno" - Poles, which could, in the course of PARTICIPATION IN COMBINED ARMS BATTLE, INDEPENDENTLY, DESTROY THE REGULAR enemy forces and take a well-prepared enemy for defense CITY?.. Though "small"?...

        But Wagner PMCs were able to ... And I believe that "potential clients" over the hill will notice this well ...

        And when they have a "problem of choosing" a performer among all possible options, they will make a very correct choice ...

          Let's do it - flies separately, cutlets separately. PMC Uwagner, according to the law, is the EMF. An illegal armed formation, because its existence is not provided for by the current legislation. And most importantly - do not compare this structure with Western ones, because there are Private Security Companies. Do you understand the difference? None of the Western PSCs, either in Iraq or in Afghanistan, participated in such battles, because they were not assigned such a task. And even if they did, how would they carry it out despite the fact that they are not armed with weapons with a caliber of no more than 20 mm? And Rogozhin has tanks, artillery, Su-24 and Su-25, and a huge administrative resource and unlimited powers. Who else can cancel the court decision that has entered into force and sign a contract with prisoners for service? And six months later, the conviction is removed! The Wagnerites are fighting well, this is a fact, but there are questions.

    Elite is determined not by training in Britain, and not even at the training ground, but by shelling in a real battle. The saying "for one beaten they give two unbeaten" arose for a reason. A Donetsk miner, a participant in the storming of Mariupol, is incomparably more elite than any militant of the 77th NATO-trained brigade.

    These fuckers have no idea that the Anglo-Saxons don't fucking need their victory over Russia. Just like the Anglo-Saxons didn’t fucking need the victory of the German Nazis over the USSR. The Anglo-Saxons need war, as such, and for as long as possible. The worse it is for the rest of the world, the better for the Anglo-Saxons. As soon as the Anglo-Saxons see that the war may soon end, they immediately arrange a provocation (mh17, the murder of a negotiator, a gas pipeline, etc.), throw firewood in the form of money or weapons.

    Weren't these fighters jumping without a parachute from the 5th floor, just in order not to surrender?

    I'm sure they all took accelerated cooking courses there. Solovyov here showed his conversation with one of the recently captured paratroopers under the nickname "fascist1988" in the networks. How could he, a paratrooper, despite his combat dimensions, actively play the fool, portraying innocence. These S.C.O.T.s massively use our fraternal illusions.

    Prigozhin also ruled out the possibility of providing any "humanitarian corridors" for the release of prisoners.

    This is correct, otherwise since the beginning of the war with the pacifists, we have had an obvious bust.

    Most of the personnel of the brigade received combat training in the UK.
    But they warned - do not hang out with the Anglo-Saxons, they will not teach good things. Didn't listen and...
    those who did not stop resistance and did not surrender were destroyed.
    How else. Today I watched a video from the helmet camera of our fighter. Shooting battle in the forest belt. Ours jumps out to the trench, in which there are two defenders. Offers to drop weapons and surrender. I already took a machine gun from one by the barrel when he shouted something and pulled it towards himself. The fighter had to put both of them in two short bursts in the area of ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbthe head (because they were in bulletproof vests). But they offered to surrender.

    They showed this video in the news on the 1st. Only the moment of execution was cut off. Looks like it was cut off for nothing. Non-brothers, dreaming of fairy tales about cyborgs, I think they watch our news more often than we do.

    Prigozhin and his fighters know how to solve the problems of the "fraternal people" - whoever does not surrender is humiliated. My question is, what to do next with these APUs? Put on all types of allowances and wait for them to stick a knife in the back again? ..

    Not that they were taught in tolerant England, not that. Rear-wheel drive and LGBT under fire help little.

    In Soledar, the majority of Ukrainian prisoners are paratroopers trained in the UK
    So there are at least 200 of these ... or was the survivalist, on the islands, well trained ???

    And who decided that if this brigade was trained in Britain, it is elite and very well trained? What super cool things can the British teach Ukrainians? Where and when did the British fight in the full sense of the word in recent years, like 35 - 40? If memory serves, with Argentina for the Falklands, and what’s more, they screwed up there .... The Ukrainian army at the end of 2022 is the most combat-ready, most experienced in Europe !!!! She has been fighting continuously since 2014!!! about the last year, waging a full-scale war. Ukrainian soldiers and officers themselves will teach anyone in Europe elementary tactics and actions of a single soldier. All these "field trainings" are nothing more than money laundering, tinsel in the eye .... the only thing they can learn there is the rules for operating NATO weapons and equipment.

    Many Ukrainian fighters were taken prisoner.
    It would be better if it sounded - several Ukrainian militants were captured ... Otherwise, we will cure, feed, change, and then again he is a bastard on the front line.

    Most of the brigade's personnel received combat training in the UK. A special training center was created there to train the Ukrainian military. The brigade's military personnel were trained under the guidance of British military instructors.

    the author forgot to write - now they are trying not to take prisoners ....

    Well, yes, as the small-shaven ones taught, so did the air burial grounds and acted. As long as the enemy is far away, you can resist. But if the enemy comes close and is already shooting through the escape routes, you need to surrender.

    Prigozhin correctly understands the current moment: the more denazified the better, prisoners are not needed.

    Prigozhin acts according to all the canons of a "correct" war. If the enemy does not surrender, they destroy him. The main thing is that the politicians do not interfere with him. When the tool is not used for its intended purpose, it will definitely break. trench warfare against the "classic" correct motorized infantry with the support of artillery and tanks. They are doomed. And the West cannot teach the proper war of large armies, because it does not know how. no. Victory will be ours. Although not immediately.
    PS: Prigogine, future president?

    This is me about tough paratroopers and other special forces. The profile of their training for specific tasks does not provide for trench warfare

    Exactly. In practice, we use the marines and the landing force like ordinary infantry. An example of their task is the capture of Gostomel. Lightning capture of an important object in the deep rear and holding until the approach of the main forces, with which they coped. But then they received an order to withdraw and no one answered for the losses that were. Moreover, in the course of "good will" the loss is greater than in Gostomel. By the way, today the commander of the Airborne Forces, Colonel-General Teplinskiy, was dismissed, who expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that elite troops are being driven into battle without any regard for their specifics and purpose.

      Commander of the Airborne Forces (VDV) of Russia, Colonel-General Mikhail Teplinskiy is in the ranks and successfully solves problems in his post. This was reported to TASS on Friday by a high-ranking source in the military department.
      Earlier, information appeared in Telegram channels that Teplinskiy had allegedly been removed from his post.
