12th Guards Motor Rifle Regiment. Shindand, Afghanistan: military actions, photos
How are you "Shuravi"?
About a kilometer from the place where we were shelled, there was a village and we drove into it.
There were old women and children in the village, there were no men. ...we scattered around the village, breaking into all the houses indiscriminately and turning everything upside down. ... In the room, I saw an old man near the entrance to another room, hung with some kind of burlap, this old man, spreading his arms, as if blocking the entrance ...
And then some officer from another company approached from behind:
Yes, there is a women's department, according to the law, men cannot go there, ”he said, and pounded this old man in the cheekbone with a butt. The old man grabbed his face and fell to his knees, and we stepped over him and entered another section. There really were women there, they covered their faces and started squealing...
An old man with a broken face grabbed the lieutenant by the leg and began to shout something in his own way. Letyokha turned around and shot the old man in the head, the women started screaming even louder...
Having gathered in a column, we moved on, leaving a plundered village behind us, but at least we did not shoot everyone there in a row, as sometimes happened. They were lucky that during the shelling from the mountains, none of ours was killed, otherwise the entire village would have been destroyed ...
And the first kishlak was smashed for nothing, in a park in short. Well, to hell with him, you never know how many of them were gouged in Afghanistan - both for work, and without work, or just for the sake of sporting interest.
We tied the spirit to an armored personnel carrier with a rope and dragged him along like a bag all day long, shot at him with machine guns on the way, and when only one leg and half of his body were left, we cut the rope.
"The crew of the combat vehicle"
The commander indicated with a gesture that they would go along the right side of the village, which means that we would go along the left, while examining each duval. ... Explosions were periodically heard in the village, it was our guys who threw grenades at the duvals.
Not far from our blocks was a tightly destroyed kishlak. Judging by the destruction, they plowed it in good faith, and the inhabitants of this village were eyewitnesses of this mess. Two years ago, our spirits clashed there, after the battle, the spirits left along the ravine, and our turntables bombed the village ...
But the commander promised that if one shot from the village thunders, then the village will be smashed to hell.
The shelling of the village from the artillery division began, and the infantry was told to prepare for combing. At first, the inhabitants rushed to the crevice, but the approach to it was mined, and they began to undermine the mines, after which they rushed back to the village.
We could see from above how they rush around the village among the explosions. Then, in general, x ... I didn’t understand it, all the civilians who survived rushed straight to our blocks. We all oh ... ate! What to do?! And then some fool fired a machine gun at the crowd, and all the rest began to shoot at civilians ...
We ourselves have mixed how many of these villages, there is no account, - the company commander answered calmly.
Remembering the burning villages and the screams of civilians trying to escape from bullets and explosions. ... there were terrible pictures before my eyes: the corpses of children of old people and women, the clang of tank caterpillars winding guts on tracks, the crunch of human bones under the onslaught of a multi-ton colossus, and all around there was blood, fire, and senseless firing ...

Excellent soldier
Soon it will be dawn, which means we will start ... We go out to the outskirts of the village. ...AKMS [modernized Kalashnikov assault rifle]... with a thick knob called PBS [device for silent shooting]. What a smart device - you can simply and with impunity, silently kill a person. It is not at all necessary to sneak up on him with a knife, as in a movie about the war - just get close to 300 meters, aim at the "night light" and pull the trigger. Cotton, and that's it - no man.
We moved forward, leaving the support team behind. If anything, they will cover us ... Now we need to find out everything clearly, take positions and be ready for artillery correction. But suddenly something unexpected happened...
Where did this girl in a sheepskin coat with a couple or three lambs come from?
Aleksey K., seeing the movement in front of him, and realizing that the group had been detected, completed his combat mission - he took aim and fired.
…Just cotton. And then I heard him, because I was practically there. Just cotton.
Shot well. Bullet US [with reduced speed] caliber 7.62 flew into the girl's head, disfiguring this creation of God beyond recognition. An excellent shot, as it should be for a headshot.
Yes, great soldier.
The command came in threes. With quick dashes, covering each other, the fighters began to do their job. …Several dozen pairs of legs ran past the small flesh lying on the ground, past what had only recently been a child, like demons of the night.
The ensign coolly pushed the body with his foot to check the hands of the corpse. There is nothing in them but a twig.
I saw only out of the corner of my eye how a small, somehow awkward, leg was still twitching. And then she suddenly froze. By the time I moved to the firing position, it was all over...
Everything that happened, it's all left behind.
... Nobody will ever know. ... how old was this child. We can only assume that there are very few...
Sergeant Nikolai Masalov
Berlin, 1941-1945
Risking life, saved German child
Monument to Soviet soldiersArmy that fell in the battles against fascism.
Berlin.
On the territory of Treptow Park in Berlin there is a monument to soldiers Soviet army who fell in the battles against fascism. cast in bronze soviet soldier in his hand he holds a German girl he saved. The prototype for the monument was the real act of the Soviet soldier Nikolai Masalov.
April 30, 1945, Berlin, Landwehr Canal area. In less than an hour, artillery preparation and attack should begin. There was silence, as before a storm, anxious, tense.
At that moment, Nikolai and his comrades heard the cry of a small child. Without hesitation, Sergeant N. Masalov turned to the commander for permission to get to the child and take him out of the zone of the upcoming battle. There were only a few minutes left before the attack began.
The area in front of the bridge was shot through by machine guns and automatic cannons, not to mention mines and land mines hidden underground. Under the whistle of enemy bullets, Sergeant Masalov crawled forward, clinging to the asphalt, sometimes hiding in shallow craters from shells and mines. ...Under the bridge, he found a helpless girl of two or three years old. Next to her lay her lifeless mother. ... A few more minutes passed and the artillery preparation began. A flurry of artillery and mortar fire hit the enemy positions. Under his cover, Masalov quickly left the death zone and safely carried the child to the unit's position.
During the Battle of Berlin, five cases of rescuing German children by Soviet soldiers were documented.
For all 9 years of providing "international assistance to Afghanistan" there has not been a SINGLE case of a Soviet soldier saving an Afghan child at the risk of his life.
helicopter pilot Hughes Thompson
Vietnam, 1967-1968
Defending the ideals of goodness and justice
In the mid-1960s, the United States sent soldiers to Vietnam on the noble mission of defending the ideals of freedom and democracy there. As the US military claimed, the valiant soldiers of the US Army honestly performed their military duty, worthy of the memory of their great ancestors.
The operation started in the morning. After a five-minute preparatory artillery bombardment, a company of soldiers was dropped from helicopters near the village of My Lai (Song My Community). The company began an attack on the village, conducting continuous fire. In the village, the soldiers began throwing grenades into the huts and shooting their inhabitants, burning houses, and killing domestic animals. They opened fire with machine guns at the villagers who were working in the rice fields. Groups of fugitives hiding in roadside ditches were shot with automatic weapons. On that day, almost the entire population of this village was destroyed - more than 500 people - mostly women, old people and children.
Punitive action. Civilians killed by American soldiers.
Vietnam, Mai Lai village (Song My community), March 16, 1968.
This punitive action in My-Lai would have sunk into obscurity among the countless number of similar military operations that took place exactly according to the same scenario, but something completely extraordinary happened there ...
On that day, 24-year-old Hughes Thompson was piloting the lead helicopter in a flight of three helicopters. With him were two more crew members - gunner Lawrence Colburn and technician Glenn Andreotta. They were ordered to assess the situation in My Lai and, if the Viet Cong were found, call in the main strike formation and correct its fire.
Flying up to the village, they saw a wounded Vietnamese girl. She lay in the middle of the road and tried to crawl to the side of the road. Thompson called in an ambulance helicopter and dropped a smoke beacon next to the girl to make her easier to spot later. However, the girl was discovered earlier - but not by orderlies, but by an American officer. The crew saw him walk up to the girl, kick her on her back, and shoot her in the head.
Exploring further the surroundings of the village, they saw the bodies of the Vietnamese - children, women and the elderly, piled in a heap in a ditch. Some moved. Nearby stood a group of "Ji-ay" [American soldiers]. Thompson landed the helicopter nearby and told the soldiers to help the wounded. But they opened fire on the ditch, finishing off those still alive.
Thompson flew towards the village. He noticed that there were Vietnamese in one of the huts. At the door of the hut stood an old woman with a baby in her arms. Another child was clinging to her clothes. A group of American soldiers was walking towards them.
Thompson turned to the officer in charge of them with a request to help him take the inhabitants out of the village. However, the officer replied that the only way he could help the Vietnamese was to throw a fragmentation grenade at the hut, which, in fact, he intended to do.
And then Thompson moved into action. He lifted the helicopter into the air, turned around and in the classic “air attack” position led him to the American unit. Rifleman Colburn was ordered to turn over the heads of the Americans. The shooter obeyed. The GIs stopped. Decreasing speed a few meters from the soldiers, Thompson turned the helicopter hovering a meter from the ground so that the entire GI group was under Colburn's gunpoint.
If they even move, shoot to kill, - the shooter sounded in the headset. He replied, "Yes, sir."
Thompson radioed the situation to the commander of the ground formation - in response, he ordered the helicopter crew: "Go to hell and not interfere in anything!" Thompson ignored this order..
Covering the Vietnamese with a helicopter and holding the GI at gunpoint with a rapid-fire M-60 machine gun, Thompson contacted two other helicopters. After making several walkers, they took a dozen and a half of the villagers - everyone who was still alive - to a safe place.
After completing the evacuation of people from the hut, Thompson's helicopter returned to the ditch with the corpses to check if there were any survivors. The helicopter hovered half a meter above the ground, and Andreotta jumped down. Bye Colbourne bursts over their heads kept the GI at a distance Andreotta examined the bodies. In the end, he found a two-year-old child crushed by the corpse of his mother, but completely unharmed. Transferring the boy to the helicopter, Andreotta spent another 15 minutes in the ditch. There were no more survivors.
Exactly thirty years after the events in My Lai, on March 16, 1998, in Washington, at the granite wall of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, in the most solemn atmosphere, the ceremony of presenting one of the highest US awards - the “Soldier's Medal” to Hughes Thompson and two members of his crew took place.

Shindand is a city and the capital of the Shindand district in the province of Gerant located in the Republic of Afghanistan. It was founded on the site of an Iranian medieval city Sabzevar.
Description
Everyone knows Shindand as a beautiful city. On its northern outskirts there is a large airfield (civil and military aviation), operated by the OKSVA air fleet during the period Afghan war(1979-1989). Today, it houses the air forces of the American, Afghan and Italian forces of the anti-Taliban association.
The boundaries of Shindand (Afghanistan) are enclosed in a ring road, which, with the financial support of the Iranian authorities, was recently laid in the border regions of Afghanistan (in all western regions) with Iran. The Afghan army facilitates the operation of a free medical clinic that provides medical services to residents of the metropolis. Geographically, the city is located on the outskirts of the Zirko Valley - one of the most important poppy processing centers in Western Afghanistan.
It should be noted that Limited contingent in Afghanistan (OKSVA) - the official name of the grouping of the USSR Armed Forces, located until 1989 in the Republic of Afghanistan.

heavenly gate
Do you know what the Shindanda airfield (Afghanistan) was like? A photo of the object is presented below. In fact, this terminal is located near Shindand, at an altitude of 1158 m above sea level. It is equipped with a 2700 x 48 m runway. The 302nd OVE (a separate helicopter squadron - Mi-8MT, Mi-24, attached Mi-6) operated in the west of Afghanistan. The zone of maneuvers: in latitude - from the Soviet border (Turagundi-Kushka) to the southern part of the republic - the desert Gerishka, Zaranja, Lashkargakh (Loshkarevka) and further, in longitude - from the Iranian border to the mountainous Chagcharan.
In 1986, on December 22, the composition of the 302nd OVE under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Shvetsov replaced the "Alexander Black Hundred" and completed his activities in the rank of "Shvetsov's Wild Division" in 1987, October 23.
Today the airbase is used by the International Security Support Force (ISAF). The 838th Advisory and Expeditionary Group is stationed at the airfield. The group takes part in ISAF and in the NATO Training Mission in Afghanistan.
Shindand also hosts the 3rd Wing of the Afghan National Air Force.
Operation Trap
In what military operations was the city of Shindand (Afghanistan) involved? It is known that in 1986, August 18-26, Soviet troops held in Afghanistan military operation under the code name "Trap". It was a large-scale combined-arms air-ground campaign, which was carried out in the western province of Herat. The purpose of the joint planned operation of the OKSVA and the official forces of the DRA (Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of State Security and the Armed Forces of the DRA) was to destroy the rear support agencies and members of the Afghan armed opposition detachments of the "United Western Group" of the famous field commander Ismail Khan.
The action was carried out in three phases on the impressive front of the mountainous and plain zones: in the mountainous region of Sharshari bordering Iran and in the district of old Herat. At the flat first and third stages of the operation, the areas adjacent to Herat were cleared of members of local groups, and the Kokari-Shaishari base area, the most important transshipment and stronghold on the border with Iran, was conquered in the mountains.
This operation was recognized as one of the most successful large-scale combined-arms operations of OKSVA in the annals of the Afghan battle (1979-1989).
military campaign
The formations and units of OKSVA were involved in the operation "Trap": 5th motorized rifle guards division, located in the province of Herat, the 149th motorized rifle guards regiment (Kunduz) and the 345th airborne parachute separate guards regiment (Bagram), an impressive air force from the air bases of Shindand, Kabul, Bagram, Mary (Turkmen SSR) and Jalalabad. From the Armed Forces of the DRA, the 17th infantry division, the 5th tank brigade and others were involved.
The death of the attack aircraft "Su-25"
So, you already know that the Shindand air base (Afghanistan) took an active part in the hostilities. The Su-25 attack aircraft of the 378th OSHAP, which took off from the Shindand airbase, cooperated with the ground attacking forces of the troops. Their assault bombing strikes were aimed at destroying engineering communications on the line adjacent to Iran - in the area of the Kokari-Sharshari base zone, and suppressing enemy firing points.
At the same time, ZU-23-4 anti-aircraft guns and various enemy MANPADS fired back aimed fire. In 1986, on August 23, the Su-25 attack aircraft of the 378th OSHAP, led by Captain A. G. Smirnov, was shot down by the English Blowpipe MANPADS (surface-to-air missile) from the lands of border Iran. The board at that moment was on the main line of battle and was coming out of a dive.
The aircraft began to roll, as it lost control, and was eliminated. The pilot was able to eject, he was evacuated from the landing site by helicopter.
Scale
When the military operation began in the province of Herat (in 1986, on August 18), the commander of the air regiment appointed leading groups. The leader followed the reconnaissance officer who had designated the targets and led another 24 crew behind him, orienting himself along the bed of the Harirud River.
The purpose of the flat phase of the campaign was to provide security for the movement of columns of armored vehicles and vehicles on the Kushka - Herat - Kandahar highway, transporting military, humanitarian and civilian goods in the provinces of Helmand and Kandahar.
With assault bombing strikes, the pilots had to clear the Herat region of the enemy and destroy the infrastructure of the Mujahideen. The flights lasted several weeks. When the last flight was completed, armored vehicles and soldiers left Kandahar and Shindand, helicopters took off. From above it was clearly visible how large-scale the operation was.
Conclusion 5-1 Guards. MSD from the garrison along the route Shindand - Herat - Turugundi - Kushka began, in accordance with the schedule, on January 29, 1989. The final ones were RR 371 SMEs, RR 101 SMEs. The division's withdrawal ended in 1989, on February 15. The unit moved to the place of permanent deployment in the city of Kushka.
