56 Airborne Brigade. History of appearance
Perhaps, before starting a story about this famous military unit, you should first watch the video of the 56th airborne brigade from Kamyshin, filmed recently.
It is customary to begin the history of the glorious 56th since the time of the Great Patriotic War. Then, in June 1943, the 7th Guards Airborne Brigade was created. In fairness, it should be noted that the best of the best entered it. The command carefully selected the fighters to create a brigade not only in terms of physical, but also in terms of ideological and patriotic parameters.
In essence, it took airborne elite devoted to the cause of the party and ready to defend the motherland to the last breath. Given the realities of the 43rd, another soldier simply would not have been suitable for the tasks assigned to the 7th brigade. As for the officers, they were selected even more carefully.
For some time the brigade was on the 4th Ukrainian Front. But in December of the same year, she was transferred to the Moscow Military District. There the brigade joined the 16th Guards Airborne Division of 12,000 soldiers. In truth, the division turned out to be very strong. Firstly, almost 100% of the officers had real combat experience.
Many were wounded and were sent to the division after the hospital. In addition, most of the rank and file were also "fired", which significantly increased the combat readiness of the division. As for technical and technical equipment, it was also on top.
In the 44th, the division moved to the Mogilev region, where it became part of the 38th Guards Airborne Forces. A couple of months later, the corps entered a separate VD army. Later, the 351st Guards Rifle Regiment was created from the 7th Airborne Brigade. In 1945, the 351st regiment as part of the 106th Guards rifle division moved to Hungary. There was an offensive in the area of Versheg - Budakessi - Fat - Bichke and the division was faced with the task of reaching positions.
In March, the 45th 351st Guards Rifle Regiment reached the Austro-Hungarian border. Later he participated in the Vienna, as well as the Paris offensive operation. And these are far from the only major battles where the 351st took part. As you can see, the 56th brigade has a glorious past, which has not been put to shame by its current fighters.
After the war, the 106th division was relocated to Tula. Subsequently, there were several more transformations, until the 56th OGDSh Brigade was formed in the 79th year.
56 Airborne Brigade. Afghanistan
In December of the same 79th year, the 56th brigade was sent to Afghanistan. Initial tasks: guarding the road in the Salang area, ensuring the movement of troops deep into Afghanistan. For all the time of participation in the conflict, the brigade took part in many operations, for which the fighters were repeatedly assigned to various awards. It is worth noting that Afghanistan was not the only hot spot visited by the fighters of the 56th. There was also Chechnya, Nagorno-Karabakh and much more.
56 Airborne Brigade. Kamyshin
After the war in Afghanistan, the brigade was transferred to the Turkmen SSR, the city of Yolotan. Military unit 33079 became the home for the fighters. After several “resettlements”, the brigade finally established itself with a permanent place of service, where it has been arriving to this day. It happened in 2000. A few years later, the brigade began to reorganize under the contract form of service, which had a very positive effect on living conditions, training and other important aspects.
brigade technique
We will not consider all the technical and technical equipment of the brigade. Let's dwell on only one model UAZ-3152 "Hussar" 2006 release. The brigade has been in service since 2010 and, I must say, it shows itself well.
The car has excellent cross-country ability (off-road fuel consumption 23-25l), as well as good fighting qualities. The car is equipped with a powerful Toyota engine (205 hp). The engine is covered on all sides with armored sheets. The gas tank is also reinforced with armor. The car can accommodate 5 paratroopers + 1 driver. As for weapons, it is possible to install 1 of 3 options:
