15 anniversary of the formation of the special forces detachment of internal troops "Edelweiss"On October 5, 15 celebrated the anniversary of the formation of a special-purpose squad of the North-Caucasian Regional Command of the Interior Troops of the Ministry of the Interior of Russia “Edelweiss” (Mineralnye Vody).

This is one of the most militant and well-deserved parts of the internal troops. The detachment was formed as a result of the merger of special forces groups located in the south of Russia - in Grateful, Vladikavkaz, Zelenokumsk, Neftekumsk and Nalchik.

The detachment received its name "Edelweiss" as a sign that its personnel performs most of the service and combat tasks in the highlands.

The battletrack of the Edelweiss began in February of 1999. Special Forces officers maintained public order in the region of the administrative border between the Stavropol Territory and Chechnya, guarded the industrial facilities of Stavropol.

Since July, 1999 and to the present, the fighters perform service and combat tasks of the North Caucasus region.

“The 17 squad is one of the most worthy squads in the special forces of the internal troops. And the guys there are friendly - a very good team was originally formed. We are proud of them and want to wish all the best and brightest, and most importantly - always return from fulfilling the tasks alive and healthy, ”Lieutenant-General Sergei Kutsov, congratulating the special forces on the anniversary, said congratulating the special forces.

              "The fascists, having attached a beautiful flower to their caps, have they defiled it forever?" I absolutely agree with you. And then all sorts of rubbish appropriates a certain symbol, and the normal ones are embarrassed to use, for example - who has appropriated the rainbow from us now and now, not to look at it or what? So edelweiss is just a flower.

              Mikhail Ancharov has a "Ballad of Parachutes", it begins like this:
              The parachutes rushed
              And took the weight
              The earth fluttered barely.
              And below - divisions
              "Edelweiss"
              And "Dead Head".
              Of course, the flower is not to blame, no offense, men, our grandfathers laid their heads, and still remember these names, we could somehow take this into account, there are other options. Good luck and happy holiday!

          The 1st Mountain Rifle Division, as an emblem, had just an edelweiss flower.
          2nd Mountain Division - deer heads.
          But the USSR, 1st, division was called "Edelweiss".

            I apologize for interfering, but it’s also unclear to me. Vague doubts torment me, so to speak. The fact that the powers of the explosives were expanded means that there is a war going on inside the country. And she does not think to end. Why? For fifteen years can not solve the problem? Or is it beneficial to someone?
            Further, I am enclosing an interesting interview about the Tiger armored vehicles, and in the same vein:
            Corr. - What samples? The first time I've heard.

            ON THE. - For example, the Tiger car, it is specially designed for street battles with demonstrators. In Irkutsk, when there, environmentalists allegedly muddied for the cleanliness of Lake Baikal, it was worth leaving these cars — all slowly dispersed. It turned out that the instigators of the demonstration were criminal circles: they used programs from Microsoft illegally and violated the Russian Criminal Code. Riot police quickly neutralized these villains.

            Corr. - They said that the Tiger is an analogue of the Hammer for military needs. Why did the Ministry of Defense refuse to acquire them, and switched to Spanish cars?

            ON THE. - It does not provide for the required firepower and armor protection. But it is resistant to turning over by hand, has a system for extinguishing the Molotov cocktail, is easily equipped with machine guns, gas grenades, water cannons and other special equipment. Psychologists carefully selected the name of the car, as in the case with the form of the Ministry of Emergencies. The name of the German tanks won. A historical memory should emerge from the plebs, they would only dare from the Tigers, and they would throw Kasparov and Limonov.

                There is the Red Book of Russia, there are separate Red Books of the regions. Like the Red Book of the Altai Republic. The plants and animals contained in the Red Book of the regions may be rare and endangered species in the region, but are very common in the rest of Russia.
                For example, we have in the Red Book of the Republic of Altai a rare plant Ural licorice. It is everywhere ubiquitous. The fact is that this plant has a sweetish edible root, and in our country during the Great Patriotic War during the famine the population almost completely destroyed it.
                Or, for example, the Snow Leopard in the Altai Mountains is about 40-60 individuals, while in neighboring Mongolia their shepherds drive with sticks.

      Chu ... you still lagged behind life, we already had this.
      .... "..." Meine Ehre heißt Treue! "-" My honor is called loyalty. "
      The motto is a slightly modified expression of Hitler 1931 "SS man, your honor is called loyalty" (German SS-Mann, deine Ehre heißt Treue). There are various opinions on the appearance of this phrase. According to one of them, this phrase was in a letter from Hitler to the head of the Berlin SS, Kurt Daluge. According to another, he was pronounced at one of the party meetings - after the units of the Berlin SA Walter Shtennes tried to storm the Berlin district government of the SS and were stopped by a handful of SS men, while Joseph Goebbels and his entourage disappeared.
      At the same time, the Berlin SS was proved “unshakable loyalty to the leader” under its commander Kurt Dalug. Hitler handed Daluga a letter expressing gratitude in it. In this letter of gratitude, Hitler also included a sentence: ... SS man, your honor is called loyalty!
      The head of the SS Heinrich Himmler introduced this proposal as the motto of the SS ... "" ""
      And now attention is the motto of the nuclear submarine "Obninsk" "My honor is called loyalty"
      By the way, this motto is prohibited in several countries, including criminal prosecution.

      Yeah, in this case, you need to urgently "rehabilitate" the swastika. After all, a good, life-affirming symbol of the sun, goodness and light. I'm in a good mood today and it's a sunny day. I'll probably go and draw a swastika on the fence. How far can I go then?
      Although, at the present time, they may not even pay attention to me. And about 40 years ago ...
      Also with "edelweiss". Ask anyone over 40 what the name of the flower is associated with. And compare how many will answer about the Wehrmacht detachment and how many will be called the special forces detachment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
      And the trend is evident. First "borrowed names". Now we got to the emblems of the armed forces. Shoigu decided to make the army happy with new signs in the American manner.

        In 1238, during the invasion of the Mongol-Tatar hordes to Russia, the enemy approached Smolensk. In a dream, the warrior of the Smolensk squad Mercury appeared Mother of God Hodegetria, who ordered him to gather an army and go to the Tatars, promising protection from above in the military business. Mercury led two thousand warriors, but there were more Tatars. Despite this, Mercury took the battle, knocked over the enemies and defended Smolensk. He himself died in this battle.

    Edelweiss is a flower from many ancient legends and stories, it symbolizes love, courage and devotion: love for the country and the land on which you live, courage to defend its interests and those of your people, devotion to the Oath and military brotherhood

    Edelweiss is a gentle flower at first glance, but how much endurance and endurance is hidden in it ... because the rays of the bright midday sun do not burn it, sharply changing temperatures and winds are not able to destroy its graceful and delicate velvety petals, they are unpretentious, drought-resistant and winter-hardy ... Edelweiss contrary to all natural phenomena, it is full of strength and energy. It seems to me that the nature of this flower has everything that is inherent in a special forces soldier!
    Fighters and officers of the special forces "Edelweiss", with the holiday YOU! Despite all the difficulties, I wish you to conquer the heights you have chosen and reach their peaks, to remain sophisticated, delicately velvety like Edelweiss for the view of others, and only you will know what strength is hidden within you to withstand all the life conflicts in the state.

    It’s time to learn how to beautifully call equipment, special squads, etc. The image is something that has always been limping in the Soviet army, rags instead of uniforms, buckets instead of helmets, lochovskie names cliffs, hillocks, Krasnopoli and other heresies. When at least someone with a normal taste comes to the army to make it truly popular and stylish, copy at least Amer’s uniform, do not reinvent the wheel. The whole world, even the Chinas run in actually German helmets of 2 MB, we all invent some sort of yet another squalor until finally Shoigu thought of copying the best from Amers. And yet, personally, I would not want to serve in any Kuzbass, Nizhny Tagil (no offense will be said by the servants) but edelweiss, that's cool, well done commanders and there’s nothing to be ashamed of and equal to naphthalene, the Wehrmacht was the most stylish army of its time, losers of the war solely because of the size of the enemy.

    The hypocritical hypocrisy of the Jews and the shabbosgoyschayuschih scoops already got. Wow! Stress their verbal associations. The word edelweiss cuts the ear. And why doesn't the phrase MAMAEV KURGAN, on which the monument "Motherland is Calling" stands, hurt you? Why doesn’t the word Mamai bother you? Is it because Mamai, unlike Hitler, did not persecute Jews, but, on the contrary, worked closely with Crimean Jews - Karaites on the basis of the slave trade of the Slavs. There is nothing to let snot, hiding behind the memory of the ancestors who fought with the Germans. In the end, the Russians and the Germans fought seriously in history only twice (the first and second world wars), which lasted only a few years. But with the Jewish Khazaria, the Polovtsy and the Tatars, they fought for a thousand years and almost continuously. The Khazars, Batu, and Mamai brought the Russian people a million times more grief than the Germans during both world wars. For a Russian person with a national identity, Germany with a Kaiser, president or Fuhrer is a million times preferable than the Jewish Khazars or the Mamaev horde. Therefore. They called the squad the German word "Edelweiss" and very good! It would be bad if it were called in Hebrew or Tatar.
