Marshal defeated the Chinese in Daman

Personally, I am also very respectful to Marshal BTV Losik, but I think it’s not worth mentioning his role in defeating the Chinese on Fr. Damansky because it is very contradictory, but there is no reliable information to this day.
According to one version, General P.M. Plotnikov, who in 1969 held the post of first deputy commander of the KDVO troops, was on March 15, 1969 at the scene and, moreover, was the senior in rank, gave the order to deliver a massive strike to the Chinese .

Hero of the Soviet Union, Marshal of Armored Forces Oleg Alexandrovich Losik.
On August 20, a year ago, the LAST Marshal of the USSR Armored Forces died.

Memory, Honor and Glory to the glorified Marshal.

He commanded the 4-th Guards Tank Brigade, which was part of the famous 2-th Guards Tatsin Tank Corps, which took Minsk.

On the armor of the tanks of the 2 corps was the famous White Arrow.
The letter "L" next to the arrow on the brigade's tanks was capitalized from the name of the brigade commander.

Honorary resident of Minsk.

Thanks to the military review that they mentioned it a year ago and now, on the occasion of the opening of the monument ...

Eternal Glory to the Heroes!

There would be more materials about such people. Young people need to know history and heroes. Maybe you should create a separate heading: "Personalities"?

[Proud.]

Good suggestion. I propose to call the heading more capacious-PERSONALITY.

[DimychDV]

Eternal memory and glory!
And for Damansky, too, whoever takes the right of the first decision.
But the political leadership - a bolt and a shame for the fact that the two communist countries could not agree on the Beijing Agreement of 1860 on the border on the fairway, as is customary in the whole normal world, and because of this put a bunch of people.

Oleg Alexandrovich Losik was born in 1915 in the Smolensk region.

A deep bow to Oleg Alexandrovich, my fellow countryman, a native of the city of Yartsev, Smolensk region! I remember how in 1983 Oleg Alexandrovich personally participated in the opening of the monument to the soldiers who died in the Great Patriotic War, how he personally organized the creation of the monument with the T-34 tank !!! I bow to you !!! Thank you!

In the first half of the 90s, Marshal Losik Street appeared in the city. Truly the Great Leader !!!
