"Ilyin's Day" Airborne Forces (photo report)

Ilyin Day and the 83 anniversary of the Airborne Forces celebrated the 2 of August in Moscow with a procession and a festive concert. The official part of the events began with a prayer and liturgy in the temple of Elijah the Prophet in China Town. Then the clergy, together with the soldiers and officers of the Airborne Forces, made a procession from the temple to the Place of Execution on the Red Square. The event will end with the concert program “Nobody, except us!” On Poklonnaya Hill.

        continuation of the topic

        Shamanov: In two or three years, the Airborne Forces will receive an upgraded self-propelled artillery system "Octopus"
        The upgraded anti-tank self-propelled installation "Octopus" will go into service in two or three years, said the commander of the Airborne Forces Vladimir Shamanov.
        According to him, a set of measures to form a test program is being completed, funding has been received.
        Details are not given.

        Self-propelled artillery mount with anti-tank gun "Octopus-SD" (self-propelled landing) is an armored combat, tracked floating vehicle. Without refueling, it can make throws, marches at distances up to five hundred kilometers.
        It was produced in a small series for the Russian Armed Forces. As of 2009, there were four batteries in the Airborne Forces, that is, 24 vehicles. In 2010, it announced the rejection of further purchases and the cessation of production. However, on 2 in May of that year, this information was refuted by the commander of the Airborne Forces - Vladimir Shamanov. He said that this installation, after some refinement, will be purchased further, in series.
        In terms of firepower, the upgraded gun is comparable to the T-90 tank. The Octopus is capable of firing all types of shells, including rocket launches from an 125-mm cannon with a rate of fire of seven rounds per minute. The system is equipped with three different sights, an arms stabilizer, coaxial machine gun with a cannon, and a smoke grenade launch system. The self-propelled gun has an elongated seven-rim chassis, created on the components and assemblies of a serial BMD-3 airborne assault vehicle.

        2С25 "Octopus" - the heaviest airborne combat vehicle in the world. Its total mass with a crew of three is about 18 tons. In 2007, the Airborne Forces successfully conducted the first test landing of a self-propelled gun from the Il-76 military transport aircraft.

        The disadvantage of this machine is the unfinished diesel engine 2В-06-2 with an output of 510 l. with.

        In 2009, the Sprut self-propelled guns participated in the Victory Day parade on Red Square.

    A good photo review +, and it is necessary to revive the tradition.
    Elijah is a prophet, very strict say (but fair :-).
    Therefore, on Ilyin’s day it will be more correct, as in the report: with banners, with prayer, sober. And then only - a feast, festivities. You can’t push Elijah or not notice, it will be bad. Well, this applies to the Orthodox, and my opinion as a Christian is not an offense to others.

      I do not quite understand what caused the negative of Tupolev-95 and Valery Neonov, obviously this is a reaction to a deleted comment. Personally, I deeply share the opinion of shuntik, especially since the Airborne Forces and the Russian Orthodox Church have closer "cooperation" than, wherever it is, in any case, only the command of the Airborne Forces carried out the "gathering" of priests (paratroopers in reserve) with the landing (i.e., with the development of all skills in the profile).

The article is more religious advertising! despite the fact that we have freedom of religion in the country. And representatives of different religious confessions serve in the Airborne Forces. In my deep conviction, the article should begin: about the people who created, put on their feet the Airborne Forces, trained people before joining the Airborne Forces and the Airborne Forces.

          Which place? laughing Regards to the Airborne Forces hi

          Shoulder to shoulder and elbow to the elbow!
          The algorithm is this. The whole thing is in the Orthodox Tao and Bushido - it is the shortest, but also the most difficult: the fight against passions. Compare the Gospel passage with the war when they were baptized in the trenches, not even among the clergy:

          32 They led with him to death and two villains.
          33 And when they came to a place called Lobnoye, they crucified him and the villains, one on the right and the other on the left.
          34 Jesus said: Father! forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing. And they divided his garments, casting lots.
          35 And the people stood and looked. But the leaders mocked with them, saying: He saved others; may He save Himself if He is Christ, the chosen one of God.
          36 The soldiers also cursed over Him, coming up and offering Him vinegar 37 and saying: If You are the King of Judea, save Yourself.
          38 And there was an inscription over him, written in the words of Greek, Roman and Jewish: This is the King of Judea.
          39 One of the hanged villains cursed him and said: if you are Christ, save yourself and us.
          40 The other, on the contrary, curtailed him and said: or are you not afraid of God, when you yourself are condemned to the same thing? 41 and we are justly condemned, because we have received the worthy according to our deeds, but He has done nothing wrong.
          42 And he said to Jesus, Remember me, Lord, when you come to your kingdom!
          43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, now you will be with me in paradise.
          44 And it was about six o’clock in the afternoon, and darkness became over the whole earth until nine o’clock: 45 and the sun was darkened, and the curtain in the temple was torn in the middle.
          46 Jesus, exclaiming in a loud voice, said: Father! into thy hands I betray my spirit. And saying this, he gave up his spirit.
          47 But the centurion, seeing what was happening, glorified God and said: Verily this man was a righteous man.
          48 And all the people who came together at this sight, seeing what was happening, returned, beating himself in the chest.

          And if this was a lie, it would have collapsed by itself a long time ago, and would not have been the largest religion in the world. And what is the essence of feeding the flock with clergy? The point is in the sacrament of communion, when the spirit of a person feels a renewal from the action of the Holy Spirit.

          How is this seen by atheists? Probably so:
          "21 For when the world, by its wisdom, did not know God in the wisdom of God, it was well pleasing to God to save the believers by the foolishness of preaching.
          22 For even the Jews demand miracles, and the Greeks seek wisdom;
          23 but we preach Christ crucified, for the Jews a temptation, and for the Greeks madness, ... http://azbyka.ru/ivliev/apostol_vozdvizhenie_kresta-all.shtml "

              No. Not from the ROC, in the sense of a worker, but an Orthodox layman means part of the church, part of the ROC. Simply, I try to fulfill the commandment of the seventh day (to be in church on Sunday).

              I do not prove the correctness of Orthodoxy, I simply showed its practical value for the education of a warrior. The dogmas of the church, the interpretation of the holy fathers, faith in one God, give the Orthodox army the strength to perform the feats before which the Japanese kamikaze bow with respect.
              For example: Russian-Japanese war. Our prisoners of war were treated very respectfully, and most returned home.

      Huge Nonsense to think that the ancient prophet Elijah of Israel can patronize the state army. Read carefully his biography (reflected in the Old Testament). This man went into direct conflict with the state and did not differ in love for state soldiers (but he burned them alive 50 at a time).
      And in our time (in anticipation of the Apocalyptic events) this subject (the prophet and witness of the Christian Revelation) is called to come into conflict with the Russian state and with that global mega-state that will replace all countries of the world (united under the rule of the coming beast).
      You can arrange as many prayers as you like to the prophet Elijah. But this personality has cast a curse on the entire Russian state. And as soon as the newly passed prophet gets the opportunity, he will burn exactly the "blue berets" (airborne soldiers) for his own entertainment (especially not the first time for him).
      The sodomo-landing action in St. Petersburg was by no means a "provocation" but a primitive staging organized by the authorities (the red-haired gay who came out with a single picket knew in advance that the "good paratroopers" would not kill or injure him, but would stage a showy conflict with the riot police). The authorities can organize as many performances as they want, but Ilya vowed to destroy the city of Petersburg first, and with all the persistence, cruelty and consistency of the ancient Israelite, he will bring this plan to life.
      Elijah the Prophet is by no means a "kindly patron of the paratroopers", but a ruthless loner who went on the warpath with world states. In russia, one should expect not "help" from him, but a lot of monstrous natural disasters (in St. Petersburg). And not patronage, but a mass of spontaneously igniting corpses of GeBya's cops and paratroopers.
      Hoodo will be the one who takes in the patrons of a prophet, for whom no one has asked permission.

      This was to be expected in connection with recent statements by the State Department on the inclusion of deputies Milonov and Mizulin on the Magnitsky list because of their position on the LGBT community. On the White House website, in the corresponding section, the collection of signatures in support of this appeal is organized. The collection of signatures in favor of the entry ban for lawmakers began on July 26, RBC reports. Elena Mizulina was named in the petition the initiator of the adoption of the law "On the prohibition of gay propaganda among minors" and the ban on the adoption of Russian orphans by American citizens. Her St. Petersburg colleague Vitaly Milonov is represented responsible for the prohibition of propaganda of homosexual relations in the northern capital.
      link
      Therefore, this kind of provocation is just right for inflating in the Western media the image of Russia as a backward and wild country where the rights of civilized gays are infringed.
      All the paratroopers again with a holiday! In the popular representation, Ilya the Prophet was a Thunderbolt, a Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt's habitat was considered the sky. Here the paratrooper is the merciless lightning of St. Elijah striking all evil spells unexpectedly and inevitably ... The paratroopers, like the saint himself, punish enemies from the air, landing from planes - symbolic chariots plowing the skies, and open fire - shooting at the enemy.
      Ilya the prophet since ancient times the patron saint of Russian soldiers. About Elijah they said:
      “You pull tight, shoot accurately, you kill the enemy and adversary, and you burn with fire ...”
      They addressed the saint in protective conspiracies and prayers before the battle. On Ilyin’s day, back in ancient times, they glorified the valor of defending soldiers. And in our time, on August 2, on the day of the formidable, severely punishing the enemies of Elijah the Prophet, it may be not an accidental coincidence that they celebrate Airborne Forces Day.
      These associations were inspired by this photo story.

      Thanks to the administration of the site, I understood (looked) the reason for the "negative". I cannot disagree with the opinion of APASUS and other commentators about the planned provocation. But to be honest, the actions of the paratroopers caused me a feeling of pride, the actions of the paratroopers, they DIDN'T give up for provocation. did not threaten, let alone beat him, he was offered to talk, the guy apparently (in front of the cameras) asked the "redhead" a few questions, after which the "redhead" began to run away towards the police, which was obviously caused by his "mental health" ( considering the purpose of the action) or banal cowardice (but the situation was far from critical). Airborne Forces veterans did not even have time to express to the "redhead" (and in fact, all liberalism in the Russian Federation) their attitude (which coincides with the opinion of the majority of Russians) to the "problem." But with regard to the riot police, questions about why the paratroopers were detained? In my opinion, "evacuating the" redhead "would have been quite enough. Taking into account the traditional" graters "with police / militia representatives, the paratroopers behaved more than TOLERANT.

                    Let it be known to you that Orthodoxy in Russia was closely intertwined with the ancient beliefs of the Slavs. So, Ilya - the prophet was associated with Perun, thunder peals - this is the roar of his cart, my grandmother still says so. It was believed that a rare Ilyin passes without a thunderstorm . Memorial Day of St. John became Ivan Kupala, birch trees are brought to the Trinity church - a symbol of holy purity among all Slavs, and on the shelf in the red corner next to the image of the Virgin Mary were ancient Slavic charms. You decide what you yourself decide, but do not swindle at the sacred, God sees everything.

                We must generally forget this commonplace term: a multiconfessional country. Russia is an Orthodox country with national and religious minorities. Because all the statistics that are conducted in our country give a very clear picture of the presence of minorities and an absolute Orthodox majority. By the way, sometimes we timidly say that yes, you know, it may not be necessary to include the “religion” column of the census. And I think that it would be necessary to include. And once and for all put an end to all these speculations about multiconfessionality. If we have 4-5% of Muslims (this is the statistics), then this is not multiconfessionality - this is a minority. If we have less than 1% of people of non-Orthodox Christians, this is a minority. Another conversation is that the minority cannot be discriminated against. The minority should feel as good as the majority. If we want to be a normal society, we should not oppress anyone, but based on the very fact of the presence of a minority in our society, it is impossible to discriminate the majority.

                Patriarch Kirill said this in an interview while still a metropolitan. And he's right. All these concepts of the multinational people of Russia in the Constitution, instead of the state-forming Russian and indigenous and small peoples of Russia and multi-confessionalism, are imposed on us from beyond the hill by the "winners" in the Cold War in order to turn Russia into a kind of melting pot of nations and religions, which, in their opinion, will first lead to collapse in the minds and hearts and then to the collapse of Russia as an Orthodox and Russian state-Empire.

                  Once again you’re not cured, the age of 60 says something, but the body didn’t swim, and you pumped it from your childhood on crutches, then with a cane. I can still squeeze out 40 times, more recently on the horizontal bar I was pulled up to 14 times. so be sure if you crashed it would not seem. Although I am not at all a supporter of hitting for any reason. And you don’t need a body to treat your brains

And music is needed different - under this you can fall asleep. And so - yes, but I stopped by the ramp with my hand in front of my chest, I held my hand like that while I examined it, then I lowered it, the other on the shoulder ... Once I examined it, clapped it, and he did not move! Then he saw that for some reason he hadn’t lowered his hand in front of him. And then I saw - the stabilization halyard comes from the armpit. Corrected the case), and he went. And in another climb they overlooked - the same crap, flew, until it began to wave its hands, the stabilizer jumped out, and everything worked out, but while flying, some GVA nicknames turned gray, I guess.

                Physical strength is not strength of mind, if a person is not able to morally support himself, then what kind of strength of mind can be discussed. There is still the strength of the collective; the one who can be a hero in the collective will not always be such alone. I do not want to say that this rule is one hundred percent, but in most cases it is. I had friends who passed hot spots. So according to their stories, during the battle, everything but anger leaves somewhere. I have no reason not to believe them.

And from my graduation, only two "got sick", as far as I know from personal communication, after Chechnya, although many served also to the south. One of them came back from Ethiopia that year, right now they put an iron knee, with crosses not seen, not superstitious. So don't generalize, please!

        In the trenches, people feel fear, therefore they pray, and it does not matter to whom or what, even to God even a sack of manure. Warriors prayed before the advent of Christianity, and what does this prove the existence of gods and idols? Even in antiquity, conspiracies from death in battle, and charms, which the church considers heresy and worship of Satan, were popular. There is such a person, Grobova, so he convinced the unfortunate mothers that he would resurrect their dead children and began to pray for him too ...

          Not quite right. You talk about infantry. And about an infantry attack variant. When only God or 1 knows who you’ll survive or die only by standing up. The bullets do not fly like a cinematic. The machine gunners drop them in white. And then you got out.
          The landing has a slightly different profile. You are still a target in the air. And then you are already a fighter.
          But after the fight, it was really impossible to light a cigarette ... Hands shook so much that you burn your lighter and eyebrows and nose, and the cigarette gets wet and does not light from saliva ...

        I agree completely. About 10 days ago, the three soldiers who died in 1941 were buried. I will not describe this whole story, I can only say that neither died in July 1941 near Kiev. And one of the soldiers born in 1913 search engines found a cross in their pocket. Apparently afraid to wear on his chest (there was such a time).
        I myself only thought about God in the war. And I really believe that there are no atheists in the trenches.

      Actually, you don't need to talk about what you don't understand. The Orthodox Catechesis directly says that a warrior who protects the weak must be strong and his cause is sacred precisely because he does not stand for himself - for his mother, for his wife, for his children. Have you heard about St. George the Victorious? It's not a matter of turning the cheek to a soldier - good should be with fists. The expression "turn the other cheek" has a generally figurative meaning, which is expressed in Christian humility in the face of circumstances that you cannot influence.

They believed that in this way the risk of infections in boys was reduced. Moreover, the procedure was a prerequisite for the continuation of the insurance (medical). This circumstance caused many discontent, especially among the "Russian" public. I don’t know how the matter ended, but before 95g there was a mandatory circumcision.

      At the hospital, they ask parents if they want to circumcise the boy, and let them sign for the choice. The vast majority makes it purely for hygienic reasons. And religious Jews just do not circumcise in the hospital, because according to the laws of Judaism it is supposed to do on the 8th day, and usually they are discharged from the hospital on the 2nd-3rd, if there are no complications.
      Yes, you wrote "all children" without thinking or intentionally? Because in America only boys are circumcised, and girls are circumcised only in Islamic countries, and at an older age.

          Do you even think what you are writing? I wrote in plain text that, in particular, the Jews do not circumcise in the hospital. Do you have any idea how and how much insurance companies would sue if they began to deprive Jews of coverage for following the laws of the faith? There are more lawyers in America than in the rest of the world, judging someone for money is almost a national sport, but here fat insurance companies are stupidly sued - and this is a chance for lawyers to make millions of dollars almost as easily as picking them off the ground. Once again, I advise - do not write about what you do not know, otherwise it turns out sheer nonsense. You and I are in an unequal position - I am writing based on facts that I myself have witnessed, and you - on unverified rumors and speculation.

In Moscow, he says, usually not like that, there is no feeling of unity — the report convinced me of this. With the past, colleagues! drinks

      I agree with you. It seems that this is not the Military Review site, but the site of the Russian Orthodox Church. I, too, with might and main minus those paid from our church, and the rest stupidly agree.

          Alexander, why can those who believe in spit in atheism?
          After all, no one forbids believers to pray, observe fasting, walk in processions, arrange a beautiful life for priests, etc. But why force others to do this, those who do not want to "believe" or those who "believe" in other gods? After all, not everyone in the Airborne Forces, these are 100% Orthodox, so why impose on them this neighborhood of an Orthodox holiday and the day of the Airborne Forces?
          If the church wants it so much, then let them create their own military formations of the Cossack type, where only Orthodox believers will serve exclusively. I think then for the country this will be a big plus.

          Yes, no one here reproaches Orthodoxy. They just want the right-wingers to respect atheists and representatives of other religions.

          And you go through my comments and see where I wrote at least one dirty word about the Orthodox and the Church. The only thing is that soon all fairy tales will be banned, since mermaids are already banned. Our state is secular according to its constitution, and multi-confessional in composition. Gundyaev is not a god or a prophet, but one of the functionaries from the church, or rather, religion. He is gay himself (GRU Colonel Kvachkov said about him -pi @ ar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3YnLOL-MCM) and this is what the Metropolitan says: “We do not condemn a person for his deviations ... It is a matter of everyone's conscience to condemn a person for his personal choice. Who, if not the Church, speaks most of all about the inadmissibility of condemnation? "

    Congratulations to all the paratroopers on the holiday ...... today there was a big scenario paintball game ... the events of 2000 were recreated when the Pskov assault defended the heights from the superior enemy forces. The conditions of the terrain were recreated very naturally: mountainous woodland, majahideen detachments marched along mountain slopes and in avrags. It was necessary for the reconnaissance group to carry out reconnaissance of the terrain and, when engaging in battle with superior enemy forces, retreat to a height for defense, when we were for the majadheads we took the height, when we were almost for the paratroopers, but such ugly fire from all sides just .... you just understand that well done guys, and it’s not for nothing that they eat their bread ..... on the occasion of you, guys ... for the glory of the airborne forces, for the glory of Russia

    Honestly, the article has a double feeling. On the one hand, yes, a holiday, all things. But on the other, why the hell is the priest's crap to drag in? More like dancing at a performance by the Crusaders. Everyone comes to faith on his own and this is a purely intimate affair. Nehru, I think, to flaunt it, such as a cross on top of clothes.

    Comrades and gentlemen, who are downvoted here for anti-Orthodox statements. I'm not even talking about the fact that according to the Constitution, Russia is a secular state. We remember the Constitution only when it is beneficial. I will not talk about the fact that the Russian Orthodox Church has become the second bureaucratic structure in Russia - i.e. structure of parasites, true believers and true devotees of faith have nothing to do with this.
    Just understand, we are all atheists and Orthodox and Muslims and Buddhists, we are all Russian. Not Russians, no, we are Russians, ask any Amer or Naglichan or rodent or Spratlander. And you understand that when you brush everyone under the same Orthodox brush, you alienate from yourself all those who do not belong to Orthodoxy. And, therefore, you are grist for the mill of those who want to tear the Russian people into separate peoples based on “black”, “yellow”, “Orthodox”, “Muslim”. Tear it apart and then destroy it. We must remain one people. And for this we must respect each other’s characteristics. National and religious and any others. And not to allow our characteristics to harm anyone around us.

      There are OF COURSE correct things in your words, but after our “Russians” from the Northern Caucasus come and spit on customs, spit on the language, piss on the eternal fires, behave like savages (not all of course, as I should feel if they all of the same religion, of course I get the disgusting impression that everyone WILL respect what is accepted here, then they will begin to be respected.

        Well, there are two points here. If we talk about Caucasians, then firstly. I said that EVERYONE should respect each other's differences. And whoever does not respect must answer for it. But let's not focus on Caucasians. If a priest comes to my son’s class and starts telling him about “the faith of the Tsar and the Fatherland,” then how will this priest be better than a Caucasian? He came incl. and to my son, whom I am raising in such a way as not to create for him a predisposition towards religiosity or atheism. So that he can choose for himself when he grows up. And this priest will begin to incline him to the preset about the need for religiosity, i.e. will fit into my monastery with his charter no worse than some Chechen who brings his mountain concepts to the Moscow region.
        Secondly, for Chechens to respect our laws, we must respect their customs. BUT... only on the territory of Chechnya. If you want to live according to the “laws of the mountains,” then live in the mountains; there is no point in going down to the plain and imposing your mountain laws here. At the same time, in order not to lose contact with small nations, they must be integrated into the life of the state. Those. should do what is close to them. For example, if we talk about the same Chechens or Caucasians in general, then they must show their combat prowess in military service in national military units. Why serve not for a year and a half, but for 15-20 years, like the Cossacks did in their time, since they don’t know how to do anything else. Then they will feel like they are part of a big country, that they are useful and respected. But they will also feel the strength.

    Strange feeling after reading the comments. I’m probably more of an atheist, and that’s more because of the insane luxury of our priests (how many hungry people can be fed from the sale of the Patriarch’s Breguet, or a child can have an operation from the sale of a Merc). The Church simply should not impose religion and boast of luxury, even if it is a gift. In the past cadets, there was a funny incident when the command decided to first consecrate our weapons, and in the process unexpectedly baptize the entire battalion, the guys of a different faith in the platoon obviously refused, but the stern cry of the platoon commander, with a promise to punish those who disagreed in the outfits, converted them in our faith. Ugly, but monotonous.
    There was no time to pray during the battle, and after the battle too, our hands were shaking and we couldn’t look each other in the eyes.
    Who goes to church and who goes to the fountain is a personal matter.

    Alexey Mavrichev, aka spat.
    Again, your answer is based on feelings, not reason. And again you appeal to the subjective. Are you claiming that my conclusions are wrong? Give at least two pieces of evidence! Logical, not “...I feel this way...”.
    But nevertheless, you ignored my questions.
    Adding me to the blacklist, because of which I cannot answer you in a personal message and am forced to use a public platform, only means that you have nothing to object to on the merits of the issue. Do you want to remain in illusions? Your right. It's sad that waking up will be painful.
