[Lech from our city]

The details of this incident are unclear - it’s too early to draw conclusions in any case, my condolences to the families and friends of the dead guys. (Too much information has appeared on the site about the tragedies)

Hi San, have you woken up? I, too, are interested in the details of what they blown up, who is to blame.

Alexander, as you know, instructions and regulations, unfortunately "are written in blood." And it is the KNOWLEDGE of the CAUSE of the tragedy that will be able (I really want to hope so) to prevent this in the future.
Therefore, sharing the bitterness of what happened, it is necessary to agree with Lech from our city и Ingvar 72 .

[Lech from our city]

1. That it was an accident or disorder of the commander.
2. Landing seems to be fighting guys and they must have the ability to handle weapons and ammunition in their blood.
3.And what is this unknown object at the test site (Bermuda triangle or what?)

[Hleb]

wherever there is a weapon, something similar happens sooner or later. sometimes it just doesn’t fit my mind how experienced people allow certain actions that result in similar cases. they happen to special forces as well. It could just be a case when a person falls from a mess and falls under the batter that comes next. it can just be a shot when the weapon is unloaded. In fact, things like this rarely happen. And sometimes it’s hard to explain. Just like the usual negligence and slovenliness, childishness

[Ghenxnumx]

This does not happen

Quote: Gleb

wherever there is a weapon

, and where there are violations of TB and neglect of their duties. "the charter is written in blood" is the first truth that must be hammered into the heads of the first years at the level of reflexes and the first commandment.
In our guard over 10 years, not a single incident with a weapon, not even an accidental shot, has ever happened.

. That it was an accident or disorder of the commander.

Neither one nor the other. There is a low probability of chance, but very low. A car is blown up. And cars drive not on the field, but on the roads.

2. Landing seems to be fighting guys and they must have the ability to handle weapons and ammunition in their blood.

It’s interesting how to neutralize the charge that no one else knew about. The test site is not a database zone.

3.And what is this unknown object at the landfill

An artillery shell is most likely. And a large caliber.

3.And what is this unknown object at the test site (Bermuda triangle or what?)

The landfill is a place of increased danger!
It is difficult to exclude both a tragic combination of circumstances and someone’s oversight.
For example, to ensure that there are no "unknown" explosive objects on the territory of the training fields, a complete cleaning is carried out.
That is, there is a chain of soldiers who use special flags to indicate suspicious objects. The chain is followed by the chief, the nurse, and the sappers, who must "deal personally" with such suspicious objects: blow up on the spot, take out, etc.
But the polygon fields are not an even table and among the l / s attracted for cleaning, not all are "particularly responsible excellent students", unfortunately there is a chance to miss something.
Yes, we live in bad times in the sense of organizing service and order.
Here is the result.

[atalef]

They are well acquainted with this landfill, since they lived in the Red Clubs for almost 2 years, the landfill has been operating since the end of the war (in general, before the revolution there were military camps) and the village (military), the Vladivir camp says about this. So, in the 80s, for mushrooms to the landfill (3 km from the Strug of the Reds (by the way before the revolution they were called the Strug of the White), They simply found a huge number of unexploded ordnance, hailstones, RPGs, air bombs
Until the 90s they were still neutralized, then, like everyone else, they were started, in general, the children were constantly undermined there
The landfill retreated to the Airborne Forces only in the beginning of the 90s, until this time he was distracted by Luga (Leningrad Military District) and the Tank Testing Center.
Most cadets were blown up on some old orphan ammunition

[Lopatov]

Yes it seems.

Unexploded ordnance is supposed to be cleared, but some of them are very difficult to detect on old landfills (a sea of ​​fragments, a mine detector is unrealistic to use), in addition, many heads of landfills are simply afraid to do this, realizing the low preparedness of the landfill in this regard.

One thing is not clear what they did there in a crowd. At the military internship, they are supposed to have a place with their platoons.

[Airman]

As far as I know, in Soviet times there was an artillery range on which LenVO gunners fired, so it looks like an artillery shell. Since the two are lightly wounded, soon everything will be clear. Condolences to the near and dear ones.

[maniac]

go nuts news!

[domokl]

It’s clear that there can’t be anything at the training ground. But, in my opinion, something is lying here. I think we need to investigate everything very adultly. It looks like a land mine ... Condolences to the victims.

[Semen Semyonitch]

Bulletins, as from the front ... When will this distribution end already? Earth rest in peace, parents bow ...

[Apollo]

My most sincere condolences to the families of the dead servicemen and the wounded of early healing.

The life of servicemen injured at the Pskov training ground is out of danger - Airborne Commander
...............
Explosion reasons
"A preliminary analysis of the nature of the propagation of the blast wave and the craters formed at the site of the explosion, as well as the types of injuries of the injured military personnel indicate that an artillery ammunition was detonated," the press service and information department of the Russian Defense Ministry said.
http://www.itar-tass.com/c1/922234.html

I think that a criminal case will be instituted and the perpetrators will be held accountable.

[Semen Semyonitch]

What they just didn’t do with these ammunition, well, they didn’t explode ... Not specifically, of course, but by gouging.

[domokl]

Quote: Apollon

indicate that an artillery ammunition was detonated, "

And that means a terrorist attack is unambiguous. Artillery ammunition (most likely 122 or 152 mm) is used specifically for making land mines. The story that the landmine remained from the time of the Second World War or was lost during firing, I won’t tell.

[TRex]

Act of terrorism at the training ground? Sasha! You are Domocles! Brain over!
I think - again, ordinary carelessness, if not more sharply ... Maybe the fire was lit in the wrong place, maybe they decided to kick an unknown piece of iron, maybe they decided to "mine" themselves ... boys, children ... their mother children.
But not a "terrorist attack". NO.

[Lopatov]

Come on. We could only drive on the "cauldron" on the road; elsewhere there was no guarantee that everything was cleaned of unexploded ordnance.

[George]

Condolences to the families and friends of the deceased.

[Anatole Klim]

He was a cadet at the Totsky training ground, they built us a chain and handed out flags to everyone. They combed the landfill and stuck a flag at each unexploded shell. Then sappers arrived and blew up everything we found. It’s very bitter when people die because of someone’s negligence.

[maturity]

Sincere condolences to the families of the victims, a speedy recovery to the victims.

[PValery53]

Condolences to the relatives of the dead paratroopers. How and where did the explosion occur: at a firing position, at an NP, KP, or in a camp? When overloaded, during loading, or maybe a land mine? Something at once all covered in mystery.

[RUSBAT]

Condolences to the relatives of the victims. Sorry for the guys.

[Andrey Yuryevich]

what a pity guys ... peacetime ... well, how so? and? fathers commanders? the head of the training ground, what is going on in your garden do not know?

[major071]

dead cadets were trained at the Ryazan Higher Airborne Command School, and were in an internship in the Pskov Region,

Remember, who studied at military schools, on what course do internships take place? We passed at the end of the 3 course, and studied all 4 of the year. So the boys were already prepared, not the first year.
Parents of the victims sincere condolences. The wounded - a speedy recovery.

[waisson]

sorry guys sincere condolences to the relatives and friends of the dead guys

[d1m1drol]

Sadness. Probably the old one .... but began to feel sadness and grief as for his children ... I’m sorry.

[IRBIS]

Such cases are not uncommon and the main reason for them is rather commonplace - typical carelessness and non-compliance with safety requirements. On the landfill, you must not pick up, throw, kick, burn anything, etc. In my memory, because of sloppiness, so many people died that I don't even presume to count. In this case, the commission will understand the reasons. Only here the lessons do not work. The notorious "human factor" ...

[Poruchik 90]

Condolences to relatives.
As a rule, negligent attitude and sloppiness. We (OrdzhVOKU) threw anti-tank grenades at the 4th year training ground, 1 did not explode, the teacher put flags, left 2 guarded and took the platoon to the school and for sappers. And they wanted to liquidate it (a grenade) themselves, throw it again, one without eyes, the second without a hand.

[Lopatov]

I heard that the landfill in Tarsky was almost half a year cleaned of unexploded ordnance after the school was disbanded.

[Poruchik 90]

With the union we shot of course a lot.
Well, even though I was not able to attend the disbandment, it is a pity there was a good school.

[Lopatov]

The only thing in the USSR with full mountain training.

However, I would not call it completely disbanded, now it is a school for explosives, and, as far as I heard, they pulled many teachers to themselves.

The Tarskoye-1 training ground was inherited by them, Tarskoye-2 and the Darial of the 58th Army.

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

It's a pity how ...

[DAGESTAN333]

Condolences to relatives.

[Jarserge]

Condolences to family and friends!
There is no “smart” death. Based on my rich experience .... Most likely the landfill has not been cleaned for a long time. The paratroopers found some kind of ammunition (as they say artillery) The boys did not shoot or explode, these are already shortcomings of combat training or insufficient combat training, especially for the paratroopers. You should know that a number of ammunition have self-liquidators, sometimes they did not work due to the peculiarities of the soil in the Pskov region , and triggered when moving. However, this is the task of the investigation, the results of which, real, we most likely will not know

[loki565]

Unfortunately, such clever people who simply do not observe the elementary safety technique can also appear on the exercises.

[Vyacheslav]

What is the case?

[potterz]

Damn, you forgive me, well, there are no other words, I would kill this goat who muddied it all !!! what nah 2 years of settlement !? The person remained disabled !!!!! S.ka, give birth to downs .......

Yeaaaa ...., By the way, our land has not become scarce with degenerates! "It was I who invented everything !!!" For this inventor - an explosive package would be in the guzlo !!!

The targets do not explode. But the munition that could not have come up could be approaching. You should watch under your feet. / Although it’s a bit heapy / At the same time at the training grounds, twice a year / before the snow and when it just gets off / mine clearance was carried out.

Clear. Previous reports claimed that there was an explosion of ammunition from previous firing.
