Happy Tankman Day!

181

“Sun armor is hot,
And dust trekking on clothes.
Pull the jumpsuit off the shoulder -
And in the shade, in the grass, but only before
Check the engine and sunroof open:
Let the car cool down.
We will carry everything with you -
We are people, and she is steel ... ”
S.Orlov

On the second Sunday of September in Russia, according to the good tradition established and legally enshrined in the post-war period, as well as the Decree of the President of Russia No. 549 of 31 of May 2006 of the Year “On the establishment of professional holidays and memorable days in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation”, the Day of the Tankman is celebrated - one of the most revered dates in the military environment. The holiday date was set in recognition of the great merits of armored and mechanized forces in defeating Nazi Germany during the Great Patriotic War, as well as a special thanks to the Soviet tank builders, who literally forged the Victory in the rear with their hard work.
In the first years of its existence, Tanker's Day was celebrated in large cities of the country with a solemn promotion tank columns along the central streets of the city and even festive fireworks. Today is the holiday of tankers - the time for solemn meetings of veterans of tank forces, rallies, various events with the direct participation of tanks: exhibitions and demonstration performances with extreme driving of combat vehicles, as well as an excellent reason to once again meet with comrades-colleagues in an informal atmosphere and just relax.
Congratulations to all the tankers on their professional holiday and wish to show their skills exclusively at the landfills!

      hi soldier We wish you peace of mind
      But so that from calm you do not become limp!
      So that there is no place for battles and war,
      So that you live peacefully, our beloved tankman,
      He respected his wife and loved the kids,
      Conflicts in the family to prevent
      So that you always love life very much
      And never let his hands drop!

            No, it didn’t come - it rolled terribly now
            Second Sunday of September!
            We prepared for it seriously:
            From the beds we fell a little dawn
            And at dawn, gentle and radiant,
            Having built, we will bark, going out in a rage:
            Congratulations again on Tanker Day
            Always ready for battle crew!

          A.M. Fadin showed heroism and personal courage in the defeat of the enemy’s surrounded Korsun-Shevchenkovsky group in February 1944. His only tank, supported by an infantry platoon in a night attack, captured the village of Dashukovka and held it for more than five hours until the main brigade forces arrived. In this battle, the crew of A.M. Fadin destroyed 3 tanks, 1 armored personnel carriers, 2 mortars with calculations, 12 machine-gun points of the enemy, as well as a shot from the main gun of the tank, a German plane was shot down, flying low above the ground along telegraph poles.

          And the spirits, their mother, on the wave on the air and hoarse in the headset of our mate ...

          And on armor like rain of lead drops, tearing off spare parts and KDZ,
          It fires, a skilled enemy, and the wounds remain on the armor ...

          Not all, then we left the battle, then with a trembling hand, the fur pulls a mug of alcohol to me,
          Stroking his hands, realizing that our tank was alive, according to the wounded armor that saved us ...

        Happy holiday, Guys!

        Three tankers

        On the border of the cloud go grim,
        The edge of the harsh veil is embraced.
        At the high banks of the Amur
        The sentinel homelands are standing.

        The border guards do not bother themselves,
        Catch fish, they’re homeland.
        Shepherd dogs serve them,
        It will be necessary - the tiger will be torn.

        The dew lay dense on the grass,
        The scales sparkled in the river.
        That night the samurai decided
        that they have health ... dofiga.

        An early afternoon sailed through the river,
        Without scaring the forest silence.
        Three Japanese super heavy tanks
        On the ropes they drove along the bottom.

        Fun in the taiga
        "Yo Mama!" "Banzai!" "Forward!" "Hooray!"
        Ours soon became no laughing matter.
        It is necessary to hold out until the morning.

        Because tanks on a dark night -
        They hang gloomily in the hangars.
        In the mountains do not ride treacherous,
        And they don’t want to jump from the cliffs.

        In the east, the sky is dark
        And the battalion commander adjusted the headset.
        "Here is a case for the tankers"
        The roar of the engines dispersed the raven.

        And on the march there are only two cars
        Well done on the road.
        Samurai showed backs.
        Samurai has come ... the end.

        And back for Cupid bustling
        Crossed, do not remember how.
        And the battalion commander reproaching them from a cliff
        He showed his heavy fist.

        On the border of the cloud go grim,
        The edge of the harsh veil is embraced.
        On the high banks of the Amur.
        Border guards and their shepherd dogs watch.

          there are many more unofficial versions of this song >>

          When the armor was strong and the tanks were fast,
          An enemy plane flew across the sky,
          Tankers were moving down the field
          In the direction, it seems, forward.

          The enemy is exhausted with such movement:
          Where the hell doesn’t understand where to fly.
          After all, three tankers drank three hundred,
          Well, the fourth drank eight hundred.

          The armor is strong, like a peel on a watermelon,
          And the crew in the world is not brave.
          After all, boys from all over the union:
          Tatar, Chukchi, Russian and Jew.

          Only the radio operator’s mat is heard on the air,
          The Motherland is calling for a feat urgently,
          And all the guys slammed three hundred
          And some overcame eight hundred.

          In a dashing attack, shaking the earth,
          The stew of stews and wine is destroyed.
          And with thanks to the tankers, remembering
          A folk trail will not overgrow there.

          The guys went on to beat the Nazis,
          But not one in the village will lie to you,
          As three tankers drank three hundred,
          Well, the fourth drank eight hundred.

          A star shone in the sky above Berlin.
          Star-- a weak reference point for the tank.
          But in order not to go astray,
          The decision was made by a brave commander.

          We will not drop the honor of a Soviet tanker,
          we won’t wait where fate brings us.
          For orientation, at least three hundred,
          And who mastered-- eight hundred is possible.

          Not once did they sing away from death
          And arose again, like a mirage.
          Not so scary fighting machine--
          More terrifying is her cheerful crew.

          here you can listen

            ALL ON AN ARMORED DAY !!!

            ARMORED TROOPS - THE MAIN IMPACT STRENGTH OF THE LAND MILITIES !!!

            THE TANKS ARE THE STEEL FIST OF THE RED ARMY IN 1941-1945.

            The whirlwind of draft is spinning,
            Spinning spins overhead.
            Spinning, spinning, wanting to fall
            Hitler’s vile black power.

            Forty shells for the whole battalion,
            And the last cartridge in the gun.
            In dirty coveralls and dust in my eyes
            We beat the Germans on different paths.

        A tank rushes proudly faster than a horse!
        And the iron horseshoes knock
        And sparkles sparkle armor.
        They write - “Tanks are not afraid of mud!”
        Let him be afraid of Merce, Mustang.

      Tanker Day.
      Kitchen.
      A drunken tank officer in reserve is talking with a “jacket” ...
      Almost literally:

      - Do you know what a Tank is ??? ... Hmm, okay, I’ll try to translate for the locals:
      - It's ... a clumsy, armored in the shell of a TURTLE, which some crazy man rammed a diesel engine under 1000 of horses in the train, stuck a cannon in his forehead, and a good warehouse of explosives was poured into his stomach through the throat of a hatch ... And this monster doesn’t know how to NOTHING: neither eat, nor ss, nor sr, and even wipe yourself YOURSELF in any way ... Without a crew, he is nothing.
      - At exhibitions and in films everything looks gorgeous ...
      - And in order to make this crematorium move and communicate with the fucking nature, as the uncle the designer wanted, a few stupid people jump under the armor. Wait, let's drink for these, that is for Us !!!
      - So, listen further, inside, in the tower, two Saigaks are already turning in narrow hollows ... and in the case, sitting on the “hero's hatch”, there is another Saigak with Bulging eyes, and, besides, fucking palms tearing itself ... Bronet’s soul is smothering.
      - This is - TANK !!!
      “But actually ... our“ armor ”, you call it a“ tank ”, and between us we call it“ armor ”...
      - So, Our ARMOR - K-ra-si-va on the Present: STRENGTH, POWER, GRACITY ...
      - This is OUR BEAUTY ... !!!!!!!!!
      - What are you laughing at?!?!?! Pour, we will drink for something without which we are not: “FOR RESERVATION” !!!!!!!!!


      FOR RESERVATION !!!
      FOR CREWS !!!

      Guys all a happy holiday love and thank you all !!!! soldier What happiness that there are days in life when you feel that "man does not live by bread alone ...". And my congratulations to everyone who is at least the slightest bit involved in this holiday, under whatever flag he is now serving. Our grandfathers together, under one armor, with their military labor, did everything so that we had a choice. Let's be worthy of them. The tank crew is more than a family, as the life of all depends on the skill and actions of each. Let them remember that when we are together, we can overcome any adversity ...
      And in my opinion not a bad toast:

      Well, today is a reason to get drunk,
      Yes, such that I can’t take it down:
      A holiday for those who grew up in a tank
      Like Mowgli in the forest.

      The baby is strong in body
      At the headset, like a mushroom.
      There was a gunner for Akela -
      Overshot and died.

      How Sher Khan roared tracks,
      Like Bagheera blackened light
      Only jackals like Tobaccos
      The tanks were not and no!

      CONGRATULATIONS ON THE DAY OF THE TANKISTS OF ALL SERVICERS, ALL WHO SERVED AND SERVED IN THE NICE TANK TROOPS. ESPECIALLY - THE CREATORS OF AN ARMORED EQUIPMENT. THEY HAVE GIVEN US HANDS OF THREATING WEAPONS.

      Tankers are not born, they are those who are faithful to the high duty of being a citizen of their homeland. They become in the practice of combat training everyday life and in battle.
      And we didn’t ask for honors
      did not wait for rewards for doing.
      We are the common glory of Russia
      was a soldier's award.
      G. Pozhenyan.
      During the Great Patriotic War, more than 1200 tankers became Heroes of the Soviet Union. More than 110 citizens of the Soviet Union were awarded the second Golden Star. Among those who were twice marked by the Motherland the highest distinction - the title of twice Hero of the Soviet Union, there were sixteen of our courageous tankmen. Here are their names: Arkhipov V.S., Aslanov A.A., Bogdanov S.I., Boyko I.N., Gusakovsky I.I., Dragunsky D.A., Katukov M.E., Kravchenko A.G. ., Lelyushenko D.D., Rybalko P.S., Slyusarenko Z.K., Fomichev M.G., Khokhryakov S.V., Chernyakhovsky I.D., Shutov S.F., Yakubovsky I.I. Three twice Hero Tankers (Aslanov A.A., Khokhryakov S.V. and Chernyakhovsky I.D.) died the death of the brave on the battlefields of World War II.

      Happy holiday guys! All the same, tanks are the coolest, most stable and ubiquitous branch of the military. For tough guys. Just as knightly armor in a medieval knight was considered a symbol of courage and success in the life of a guy who considered himself cool, so is a tank today: steel, fire and power. Whoever saddled this animal and understood its essence will not be lost in life. And on a polished "Mercedes" it will look. And at the airfield, crushing enemy Raptors too. Tankers are a special caste, a special philosophy. And this type of armed forces will not disappear - the men will not allow them to simply take and take away their favorite toy.

      We are across the field, across the unplowed field
      Trucks crushing cornflowers
      Into smoke, fire, for the Motherland and freedom
      And so that there is no war.

      The red rocket took off
      The roar of engines - nerves like a string.
      The commander kicks my shoulders
      And our car went into battle.

      A tank lasts two or three attacks in battle,
      I've already passed two attacks.
      And now I pray to any god.
      May everything continue to be good.

      We didn’t really have time to fall in love,
      I was just dancing with a girl.
      And at the age of seventeen, putting on an overcoat,
      We left for the death carnival.

      Here the Panther rushed out of the grove,
      The tower turns towards us.
      Commander: "Short, cholera!"
      A flash, a salvo - the fascist ace is on fire.

      The fight is over. We stood at the well.
      They lit a cigarette and took off their boots.
      The commander laughs at us.
      “Everyone is grimy! - Just look at that.”

      There's blue in the sky, it's enough to choke,
      Silence, as if there is no war.
      “Sasha, pour it on my back.
      Brothers, let us live today."

      We are across a field, an unplowed field...

      We have seen in different parts of the country:
      Tanks froze on an honorary pedestal
      They defended their native land
      With tankers, it happened, they died.
      When we celebrate Tanker’s Day,
      That in honor of the dead we bow our heads,
      Congratulations to all the living,
      We wish them good luck and victory.

      Happy Tanker Day!

      Happy holiday to tankers and everyone related to tanks! And may, no matter what, our tanks and tank troops always be the best!!! I also want to share, maybe a little off topic, that in many cities there are tank monuments. But I consider the one like we have in Lugansk unique. These are two captured English tanks from the Civil War MkV. As far as I know, there are 3 or 4 of them preserved on the territory of the USSR, two of them are with us. And thanks to the city authorities for not selling them even in the most difficult times of the 90s, although there were offers, including from Britons. Happy holiday again! The armor is strong and our tanks are fast! I apologize for the quality of the photo, I took it on my phone.

        “Razraba’s Hen” (an old Russian fairy tale interpreted by “Tanki Online”)

        Once upon a time there lived a grandfather and a woman, and they had a chicken called Razraba. Once a chicken on the “Farm” laid down a crystal—not a simple one, but a golden one. Grandfather drove and drove on the Mammoth, but didn’t get there. The woman drove and drove on the Titan, but didn’t get there. The mouse ran on the “Vaspika”, put on a full “garland”, waved its chit, caught the goldick and took all 100 crystals for itself.
        The grandfather on the “Mammoth” trolls and trolls in the chat, the woman on the “Titan” floods and floods on the forum, and the Development Hen cackles:
        - Don’t be a troll noob, don’t flood noob, - I’ll give you not gold crystals, but simple ones... Just on Tankman’s Day, you’ll upgrade your hulls at a discount!
        - How can we upgrade when the server lags? - the old people cry.
        - Don’t be afraid, grandpa, don’t be afraid, grandma, - this is release 1.100, update the flash player, wait for the restart, and you will see the updated graphics!
        Grandma and Grandpa saw their updated “Mammoth” and “Titan”, upgraded them with a holiday discount to the M1 modification, went to “Silence” and knocked out all the noobs there. At the end of the game, the mouse with the “titan blade” came in again on a speedhack and started sawing everyone out. She also mocked me in the chat: “My skis are great, but now you’ll throw away your skates!”
        However, the Developer's Hen laid not only an egg with crystals, but also an old Windows, installed a new one, developed a new anti-cheat and kicked the evil violator out of the battle on the Titan Burn.
        Grandma and grandpa tore down the entire fund and, happy, went to repair their bast shoes and tank tracks (which now, after the new release, began to spin, and, therefore, need repair and maintenance more often).
        And they began to live happily and earn crystals, and the mouse was sent to an eternal block for a speedhack.
        This is where the fairy tale ends. )))

      I remember my first real acquaintance with a tank. It was in the first year, our first battalion exercises. Just at the same time, the Tallinn Motorized Rifle Division, mostly cropped (castrated), “fought” at the same training ground. The district commander himself, Colonel General Postnikov, was present at these exercises.
      In short, in the morning we lined up at the commander’s stand and then, nearby, a tank suddenly fired. We haven't screwed up yet. smile
      Then with these training T-55s we ran into the attack, etc.
      Naturally, we were allowed to climb around them. So, when I took the place of the commander, I experienced enormous respect for the tank crews and experienced a certain attack of claustrophobia (I never suffered, but here...).
      RESPECT, TANKERS!
