Changing the requirements for "anthropometry" of contract soldiers and cadets

The Ministry of Defense decided to make adjustments to the requirements for some of the anthropometric characteristics of contractors and cadets. The main list of requirements is provided by the Main Military Medical Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The data from this list is a newspaper. "News".

Here is one of the main innovations: for the fighters of the Russian special forces and military personnel serving under the contract in units of the Airborne Forces, it is proposed to change the height and weight thresholds. Now contract servicemen and cadets of a special category of military universities (for example, universities of the Airborne Forces) may not grow from 170 cm, as it was until recently, but from 165 cm. Maximum growth will be 190 cm. This is 5 cm above acting top slats.

Innovations relate to the rules of recruitment on the mass of the body of the contractor and the cadet (again for the airborne forces and special forces units). Now it (mass) can be up to 100 kg. Previously, the upper limit of body weight was 90 kg.

The source of the newspaper “Izvestia” in the Airborne Forces informs that the reason for such a move is not related to the shortfall, but is related to the anthropometric features of the modern young man and changes in military equipment and equipment.

New (parachutes) D-10 stand up to 120 kg, 100-kg paratrooper can take another 20 kg of load. It is not associated with a shortfall. Those who want to serve a lot, on the contrary - they were given more opportunities.

If in BMD-1 to put the guy in height 190 cm, it will be hard for him. But in BMD-3 and BMD-4, he will feel comfortable.

That's good ... And then my kid has grown to 190, and weight under 100.

And mine - already outgrew me, I see 172. And he still only 16.

[W1950]

And my three have already served. All above me 176.

[kolyhalovs]

I have two sons. And both are below me. One - 90 cm, and the other 75 ... Do not go into the paratroopers, however.

[Mama_Cholli]

3-4 years. In 15 years will be under 190

[domokl]

I don’t share the joys, alas ... Although mine is too small (175), but the combat weight is 85 kg .. I served quietly in the special forces ...
The whole service was like a rootkeeper ... Of one height and weight (177 on 81). There was a very tough selection. And now, as it becomes clear, it’s not enough .. Are we bad makers, or what? ....

[mark2]

The wrong feeding went today. What did you eat before? Porridge, cabbage soup, silently. and everything is fresh and natural. And now? Hydroponic tomatoes, greenhouse cucumbers, reconstituted milk, meat stuffed with antibiotics and steroids, transgenic potatoes are not ours. Add purity of water and air ... All food with a lack of healthy nutrients. Citrus fruits generally lack vitamins. To get the daily intake of vitamin C, you need to eat almost the whole lemon, before you had to eat less. There is not enough protein in meat. With this kaomezhke genes will not help!
I grew up with a height of 185 cm. And I think that it will not be enough. Now you can only grow in breadth

It's okay, they took 165 to our unit, but after six months or a year, many guys grew up on 5, or even on 10. See guys in 18 for years ...

[sso-xnumx]

there was no shortage in the Airborne Forces and Special Forces, and never will be! But there were restrictions on height and weight. The speed of descent of the parachute increases with the descent. Who needs broken skeleton bones? The commanders of units operating in the rear of the adversary, are definitely not needed! You can’t throw a cripple, carry with them will lose speed. To shoot? Who has the courage?

[ROD VDVshny]

New (parachutes) D-10 can withstand up to 120 kg, a 100-kg paratrooper will be able to take another 20 kg of load.
With me together in the RVVDKDKU them. The kids studied at 1.95m and even 2.05 in height. Everyone jumped , and with weapons, and equipment, and GK happened. All D-Series human landing parachutes are designed to provide a vertical descent speed of 5 m / s with a parachutist weighing 120 kg.
For the sake of fairness, it must be said that the path to heaven begins on earth - on the airborne complex, on its simulators. Practically everything depends on the training in the actions of the parachutist from and to, from the moment of separation from the plane to the ground. Landing even in harsh weather conditions can be quite soft and not lethal. It is not difficult, especially since the "tens" are minimal, but manageable. A retreat from science and the experience of elders is fraught ... a hard blow to the ground will not add at least mind and health
Over the entire period of my service, 99% of all parachute catastrophes have consequences, violation of the rules of landing ... with a sad terminal postscript - I did not use SPARE PARASHUT. And parachutes are very, very reliable, 120 kg is not the limit.

Interesting information. Thank.

So my overgrown, I have 186, and he will have 15 in July.

All right, I grew up. And in the titles, too. Well, if only in VO. And there is one more son, also catching up.
And two more grandchildren, from two daughters. So "the crew of a combat vehicle" ... T-62 has not dried up in anyone's bins, kids for growth?

[RUS96]

My 15th duck from me already (186).

And my daughter is 6 years old, but the tanks are already "cut" !!!

Good Detinko! To mine in December 18. Growth 2 meters. Weight 100 kg. Not going to stop (actively involved in sports) Ready for the army, both physically and mentally. So it doesn’t go to the Airborne ... Well, if I just parachute with a cargo parachute

[Skif83]

Well done, more of these, and even teach how to fight!

[cerbuk6155]

If you need changes, then you need to introduce them. Times change.

[Giant thought]

These changes are good and good that are introduced. The main thing is that the selection range will be increased, which accordingly will lead to an improvement in the long run.

[Sofa fighter]

Even more people will have the right to bathe in fountains. However, this is not a crime, but let the hostiles see and fear.

[AleksUkr]

Quote: Couch Fighter

More people will have the right to swim in the fountains

Good lord! Do you have any idea who is swimming in the fountains? Real paratroopers in the fountains do not bathe! Pea jesters bathe, having nothing to do with the soldiers of the elite kind of troops. My son, an airborne officer who has passed more than one hot spot, did not swim in the fountain, does not bathe and does not intend to disgrace in the future. Like him - the majority in the airborne forces. Even the enemy appreciates them. Honor and praise !!!

[Rattenfanger]

Bathing in fountains and behaving like a herd of baboons are those who were extinguished in the army at the canteens and medrots. You look at the next "NATO threat" on August 2, and oh ** eat: he was called up as an elephant, he quit his job as an elephant, and in civilian life he was overwhelmed. Such a minority, but judged by them, unfortunately ... (((

[domokl]

C'mon ... You bathe and I personally don’t see anything shameful about it. It is clear that I, the old lane ... n, will no longer climb ... and according to their service life, they are not supposed to be ranked, but let the boys .. .
We usually don’t gather for this ... We meet with BATTLE friends ... If you pay attention, you will see that for several years now, many have written the name of a military unit on the flags of the Airborne Forces ...
Bathing is a tradition recognized already at the state level. Neither the police, nor the police did not interfere earlier ... So I don’t see the subject of the dispute ...

[marauder555]

D-10 NOT ALL NEW PARAHES !!!

[Vend]

Right. Many guys want to serve in the Airborne Forces, but do not hold out. And the guys are capable.

[Antokha]

I used to think that all the restrictions are connected with the fact that height and weight give an advantage in physical strength. It turns out that parachute and bmd are to blame.

It’s not only, it’s also very important that the fighter carry as many ammunition as possible. You see, before the equipment assembly weighed more, and this, to put it mildly, did not always accompany the well-being of fighters running cross-country.

[ramzes1776]

I really thought the shape of the skull will be selected)))

[4elovek]

Yeah, and I’m looking at the photo (there Katati is the first in the ranks SUCH terminator - goosebumps ) I thought they would select only blue-eyed blondes in a special army ...

[Walk]

I don’t know how these restrictions were observed before, but on team exercises saboteurs playing against us were guys from the school of warrant officers of the Airborne Forces. So there were fighters and above two meters.

[vsoltan]

Not everything is so bad ...

Gentlemen, the info has just passed on Lifenews that dill increase the draft age - officers to 65 years, rank and file sergeants - 60. Full PPC .... there wasn’t such a thing in the Second World War .... the mob.resource is running out, however ... there are still honest people who don’t want to shoot at their own ... is encouraging!

[Stypor23]

It is necessary to eat less, at least to the majority. The nation is gaining weight by leaps and bounds. My childhood was in the 90s, so we generally were not at home, we could not drive from the street. And right now I watch kids at 10 years old weigh like adult uncles, instead of fucking fast foods, it seems to me better to make the cuisines of the peoples of Russia, both tasty and healthy. There is some pilaf or manti, or a cold / hot smoked fish with a bulb.

You, like mine in the 70s, had a happy childhood - there was no Internet.

[Stypor23]

So sure, Comrade Lieutenant General!

[Balamyt]

..... so we didn’t even be at home, we couldn’t drive from the street. AND Right now...

And in the 70s I also studied at school! And the rest, they themselves are to blame, I mean your kids. Less internet, more sport. And there are no problems with being overweight. Do not be angry, I'm not from evil ...))

[Stypor23]

I don’t have children yet.
I agree. I generally describe the picture.

[Akvadra]

The troops pumped two-meter thugs are not many. These are mainly sinewy mustangs. No wonder they say that the paratrooper is only ten minutes an eagle, and the rest of the time a horse.

[Rattenfanger]

2 minutes)))

[herruvim]

The heroes in the Russian land have not yet been transferred

[buser]

my brother served in the Navy in the Soviet Union, so he told me how they were taken away in the marines! The main criterion was growth! Buyers even had a saying, "if there were bones, the meat would grow." But since under the Union, the marines served for three years, the meat grew decently ...

[sergio6769]

Served 2year Marines .. as far as I am aware

[Rattenfanger]

Mehan and gunners and should not be tall, 180-edge.
Our guy was 194 cm tall. The gunner-operator on the BMD-1. That was really hard for anyone.

[X Y Z]

It is gratifying that the government still monitors the anthropometric parameters of citizens. I recall the 70s of the last century, when in stores mostly costumes 52/2 and 54/3 hung. And young people needed a size - 48 ... 50/5.

[argon]

New (parachutes) D-10 can withstand up to 120 kg, a 100-kg paratrooper can take another 20 kg of load. This is not due to a shortage. There are many who want to serve, on the contrary, they have been given more opportunities.

If in BMD-1 to put the guy in height 190 cm, it will be hard for him. But in BMD-3 and BMD-4, he will feel comfortable.

In D-6 even 90 kg of a soldier was hard to "put on". Fighters taller than 180 cm were also caught in fur / drivers. It is not important here that he be a good phlegm, but you can press your ears with your knees.

[Kuvabatake]

It's not about growth, but about skill ...

That's for sure! I remember how I had one graduate communications officer assigned to the airborne troops, but his height and weight are small. The "merchant" looked and said: "So we'll hang two radios and let him jump!"

[Fish supervision]

The main thing is not to jump to the current cries of banderlog Elena

[cosmos132]

I believe that for admission to military schools it is necessary to undergo a special selection for professional suitability - sports categories, participation in military-patriotic clubs and competitions in military-applied sports. And basically the children of officers become officers.
My 15 is able to survive in extreme sports, has a sports rank in b. martial arts, shoots, puts on OZK, assorts the machine gun, renders PMP, etc.

Well, did you buy bmd-2m then?

Still bombing.

[Was mammoth]

When I was called up (in the 70s) there were two criteria for growth in the Airborne Forces - if with secondary education and if with higher education. With higher education, it seems 5 cm shorter was the requirement. Competent and needed there.
New (parachutes) D-10 stand up to 120 kg, 100-kg paratrooper can take another 20 kg of load. It is not associated with a shortfall. Those who want to serve a lot, on the contrary - they were given more opportunities.

Today there was an article about "Warrior". 24 kg. 100 + 24 = 124 (kg). Will a paratrooper tear with his bare hands?

PS It seems like not a bike. In the 60s, the Iranian shah came to the USSR. In SAVO, in Turkmenistan, he was shown an airborne landing. For mass attraction paratroopers from motorized rifles. Then in each motorized rifle regiment there was a company of paratroopers. They differed from the infantry only with machine guns. Order, there is an order. The real paratroopers arrived, conducted a short course, folded parachutes, weighed people loaded onto the plane, the heavier, closer to the tail and forward. At the landing site, the plane lifted its nose and ... the landing took place. As if a few people just shook their legs.

[kirqiz ssr]

with the union, the set was different now different

[yastr]

When I went to firing last time, we laughed with the men for a long time that the commandos would not come out of me. :)
With a height of 192 and a weight of 90 kg, body armor does not cover most of the abdomen :)
