Combat operations 154 detachment in Afghanistan. Places and time dislocation of special detachments (1981-1989)

On December 27, 1979 at 19.00, the Muslim battalion of the USSR GRU took part in the storming of the Taj Bek Palace, in which the amine is located. Jesi Khow called the operation "Storm 333" - fantastic, given that 700 Soviet soldiers, mostly fighters of the Muslim battalion, defeated more than two thousand Aminian Guards, located in a building specially prepared for defense. Tursunkulov's pleasant Tursunkulov explained the task of 154 of the detachment: "Kegabeshnikov brought to the entrance, he ordered to heal in a circle and cover the storming fighters."

However, it soon became clear that the KGB assault groups cannot break the resistance of the Afghans. Then Colonel Boyarian called to help Musbat.
"We walked alive, destroying all the living things that were found on our path," recalls the participant of the storming Shukhrat Mirzaev. - Resisted killed on the spot. Those who surrendered did not touch. Clean the first floor. We occupy the second. As a piston, squeeze the aminovists on the third floor and in attic rooms. Everywhere - many corpses of the Afghan military and civilians. "
Later, studying the experience of this assault, military specialists noted the high quality of Soviet body armor, which did not pierce the bullets of the MP-5 machine guns, which are in service with Afghans.

The GSH Directive of the USSR 314/2/0061 dated 04.24.1979, served as the basis for the order of the commander of TroKvo 21/4/00755 of 4.05.1979 on the formation of 538 people in the state of a separate detachment in the state of 538 people., Which entered In the history of our Fatherland as a "Muslim battalion".

Historical reference

March 18, 1979 1st Secretary General The Central Committee of the NDPA NUR Mohammad Taraki called Chairman of the USSR Council Alexei Kosygin and asked to send soldiers, indigenous people of the Asian Republic of the USSR, to destroy the four-thousand-old detachment to the civilian clothes of the Iranian servicemen who penetrated the city of Herat.

"We want to send Tajiks, Uzbeks, Turkmen to us, in order for them to drive tanks, since all these people are available in Afghanistan," the Afghan leader of the Soviet Premier convinced. - Let them wear Afghan clothes, Afghan icons, and no one knows them. This is very easy work, in our opinion. According to Iran's experience and Pakistan, it can be seen that this work is easy to do. They give a sample. "

Despite the fact that Kosygin expressed doubt about this proposal, on April 26, 1979, the General Staff of the USSR Ministry of Defense issued a special directive No. 314/2/0061 on the formation of a detachment special purpose GRU, subsequently called the "Muslim battalion".

His formation was engaged colonels Kolesnik V.V., Shvets OU, Lavrenev N.N. and Blochin A.P., as well as the head of intelligence Turkvo Colonel Duncher V.V.

In order to preserve the secrecy of the detachment, it was decided to select the brigade from the military town, repaired for this by the economic method abandoned the town of engineering battalion.

Commander 2 detachment 15 OBRSPN Major Stoderevsky I.Yu. We instructed to lead the construction of the town. He received into his subordination to the company's military builders, several dozen civil builders from all CEC district, two hundred personality personnel from a brigade as utility workers. For 2 months, the repairs of the town was completed.

In a rapid pace, the recruitment of a new battalion began, exclusively from individuals of nationalities Central Asia. Personal composition arrived from all districts. Basically from the Airborne Division and to a lesser extent from motorized rifle parts.

Team Composition 154 ORPU first formation

The detachment commander was appointed major Holbaev Habib Tajibaevich, Born in 1947. Graduate of Tashkent Woki them. Lenin. Since 1969, served in 15 regions in positions group commander, commander of the company SPN, deputy commander of the SPN squad in the DVS. Deputy Department commander, on the submission of managing the Turkvo personnel, were appointed captains of Sakhatov M.T. (Deputy), Ashurov A.M. (Head of Staff), Sattarov A.S. (deputs), Ibrahimov E.N. (Deputy Pleek), Major Jalilov D. (deputy. on the rear). Roths commanded senior lieutenants: Amangeldyev KM, Sharipov V.S., Miryusupov MM, and Captain Kudatov I.S. The commander of the anti-aircraft artillery group was appointed Senior Lieutenant Prauta V.M ... Commander Orno Captain Nikonov. Deputy Commander Zagrustor Nevers Job ... Commanders of Group Special Forces were appointed young graduates community schoolAmong them are two lieutenant (Tursunkulov R.T. and Abzalimov R.K.) were a graduate of the RVVDKU. Separate relations of communication and collateral commanded Senior Lieutenant Mirsaatov Yu.M. and Senior Ensign Rakhimov A.

The Military American Expert Jiayi Zhou dedicated a special book to the Soviet Muslim battalion, starting it with the fact that he standing hands-based national policy in the USSR, when he studied archival materials regarding this unit. Interestingly, studies conducted by them were funded by Rand Corporation, which is considered a "thought factory" of American strategists. "A unique Soviet identity appeared in the USSR, which cannot be explained by traditional values \u200b\u200b- national or religious," writes Jesi Hou. According to him, 538 people under the command of Major Habibjana Holbaeva were embraced by the idea of \u200b\u200btheir socialist mission in Afghanistan. It was 154 a separate detachment of special purpose GRU, consisting exclusively of Uzbeks, Tajiks and Turkmen. A total of five thousand military passed through the Site of the Special Commission.

The preparation of fighters 154 of the detachment was quite typical for the Soviet Army - typically good. In the presence head of Headquarters Turkway Lieutenant General Krivosheev G.F. In the summer of 1979, Muslims conducted tactical teachings "to seize a separate building" and "fighting in the city". In particular, pomegranaters were obliged to hit the target for noise through the smoke veil. It is notated to shoot on the run and own sambo techniques - it was considered to be granted.

Special attention was paid to the coordination of the mouth and platforms by radio, which was responsible for the senior lieutenant Mirsaatov Yu.M. The writer Edward Belyaev, who studied the preparation documents 154 of the detachment, as well as other fighters sent to Afghanistan, writes that the stereotypes that appeared after entering the light of the film "9th company", do not correspond to reality.

Combat formation of detachment units

By June 1, 1979, the detachment was fully equipped with a state of 532 people from a thousand presented candidates. For a month and a half, the detachment, fully freed from the outfits, guard and foreign work, fulfilled the annual program of combat training. The entire personnel of the detachment made a parachute jumping. Martial skins of the formed divisions were carried out.

Shooting and driving passed on polygons of the general and tank school. There were no limits on fuel and ammunition. Grenadeometers shot at the distance, for the time, on the noise through the smoke, at minimum distances. Who should have passed the practical tasks in the mine-explosion case. Everyone was inspected for physical endurance during a march of 30 kilometers. Specialists Translators during the entire inspection tracked the assimilation of teams on Farsi and Knowledge of Arabic writing. Following the results, the Commission estimated the results of the inspection as good.

Consision came. The soldier began to attract for a guard service and on various economic work.

Despite the fact that the fighters of the Muslim battalion in full combat readiness were regularly traveled at the Tuzel airfield (Tashkent) to send to Afghanistan, the departure was postponed every time.

Recognition on the terrain

By order of the head of the GRU, the commander of the detachment Major Holbaev and the deputy commander of the 15th Brigade Majors of Gruzdov and Turbulanov flew to Kabul for the reconnaissance of the presidential palace, as well as the renovated Taj Beck Palace in Duralaman, where Amin was soon moved.

"The options for transfer to Afghanistan were several. - told Holbaev. "Besides the flight, a march was considered by its own pass to Kabul."

However, after the officers of the head of the Afghan presidential guard of Major Dzhanndad strangled Taraki, on December 4, 1979, Yu.andropov and N. Ogarkov were sent to the Central Committee of the CPSU now all well-known note 312/2/0073:

The Soviet forces introduced to assist in 1979 in the "Friendly" Afghanistan, it was one unique, well-prepared special forces, consisting exclusively from representatives of Central Asian nationalities. It is thanks to the origin of his personnel, this detachment was called the "Muslim battalion". It existed this battalion, unfortunately, not long, but managed to leave a bright mark in the history of GRU.

The first Muslim battalion (but as not the last story showed), in the world being the 154th separate special detachment of the special purpose as part of the Fifteenth Brigade of the Turkestan Water, headed Major Habib Tajibaevich Halbaev.

Initially, the unit had the following purpose - the protection of Nurmukhamed Taraki, the President of Afghanistan, who was trying in a short time to lay socialist fundamentals in his country. The opponents of such radical changes were abound, and therefore the tricks very fairly feared for their lives. By that time, political coups, accompanied by bloodshed, were quite ordinary for Afghanistan.

The new formation was well provided with all the necessary resources, the fighters did not exist restrictions and limits for funds. The personnel of the detachment received a completely new weapon. For conducting training shooting, according to the Decree of the General Staff of the Turkestan, the battalion was allocated polygons of two military schools: the Tashkent General Command and Tank School, located in Chirchik.

All July-August soldiers were engaged in combat training. Daily tactical classes were held, driving combat vehicles, shooting.

The endurance of the fighters was harvested in the thirty-cell meters of march. Thanks to extensive material and technical equipment, the personnel of the "Muslim battalion" had the opportunity to achieve high level Preparations hand-to-hand fight, shooting from all available types of weapons, as well as in driving BMP and BTR in extreme conditions.

And at this time in Moscow, an Afghan uniform was hastily on a soldier "Musbat" and prepared the necessary paper. Each fighter received the documents of the established type in the Afghan language. Fortunately, new names did not have to invent - the servicemen used their own. In Afghanistan, especially in the north of the country, many Uzbeks and Tajiks lived, Turkmen met there.

Soon the battalion replaced the Soviet military uniform on the uniform of the Afghan army. In order to make it easier to recognize each other, the squad fighters have wrapped on both hands of bandages. For even greater realism, the servicemen constantly trained in Afghan form so that it would have a hard view.

When, at the end of the verification, the Battalion was already preparing for shipment to Afghanistan, another coup was accomplished in Kabul. The nearest candidate of the President Taraki Hafizulyla Amin eliminated the former leadership, taking the management of the country for himself. Strengthened training was suspended, visits to the highest command staff stopped, and life in the battalion became similar to ordinary army weekdays. But such a calm lasted for a short time, soon from Moscow, an order was received about the resumption of training. However, the goal of learning is radically changed. Now the servicemen prepared no longer defensive, but to assault operations against the Afghan government. This time, with sending a battalion, they did not delay. A list of personnel was announced, which on December 5, 1979 should have departed the first flight for the preparation of the camp. The rest of the battalion was supposed to join them on December 8th.

When the Muslim battalion, the Muslim battalion soldiers noticed one unusual fact: a squad of military ripe age flew in the plane, but in Soldierchi Schinels. Interested fighters explained that a group of sappers went with them. Only later it turned out that these were important "bumps" from the KGB and GRU.

A detachment under the leadership of Uzbek Habiba Halbayeva joined the Bagram to the battalion of the combat accident from the 345th separate parachute regiment, which was standing here since July 1979. And on December 14, another battalion of the 345th arrived to them.

According to the initial plan of leadership, the Muslim battalion was supposed to speak from Bagrama, having captured the Amin's residence, which was in Kabul. However, at the last moment the dictator moved to the new residence "Taj-Beck", which was a real fortress. Plans quickly made amendments. The detachment was tasked to get to Kabul with its own move and appear near the Taj Beck Palace, as if to enhance the protection. On the morning of December 20, about 540 fighters of the GRU special forces nominated to the capital of Afghanistan.

By appearance The detachment was very similar to the usual military formation of Afghans, and the newly-made president Amin was confident that the fighters arrived to exercise the external protection of his new residence. On the way to the palace of military personnel more than a dozen times, patrols stopped, passing only after receiving the appropriate password or permission from above. At the entrance to Kabul, the battalion was met by the Afghan officers who accompanied the specialist to the presidential palace.

The company of personal bodyguards Hafizulla Amin was considered the first line of the "Taj-Bek". The third was a security team, under the leadership of Major, Jandata - the main entrustance of Amina. Our Muslim battalion was supposed to make a second line. From air strike the palace defended the anti-aircraft regiment. The total number of servicemen at the palace reached two and a half thousand people.

GRA fighters posted in a separate unfinished building, which were in four meters from the residence in four meters from the residence. There were no glasses on the windows in the building, instead of them soldiers pulled blankets. Started the final stage Preparation for operation. Each night, lighting missiles were produced every night on nearby hills, and engines of combat vehicles were launched in the boxes. The Afghan Protection Commander showed discontent with such actions, but he was explained that there was a planned training, associated with the specifics of possible combat operations. Of course, everything was done in order to put the guard's vigilance when the detachment really goes on the assault.

Colonel Kolesnik, who was a plan, later talked about this: "I brought Ivanov and Magomedov, signed by me and worked on the map (respectively, the main adviser to the KGB of the USSR and the main military adviser of the Ministry of Defense). They approved the plan orally, but they did not want to put their signatures. It was clear that while we thought how to fulfill the task set by the leadership, these cakes solved, as in the event of failure to avoid responsibility. Then I wrote on the plan in their presence: "The plan approved orally. Submit refused. " Put the date, time and went to his battalion ... "

In the operation on the storm of the palace on our part, the Thunder and Zenit Groups (24 and 30 people, respectively, commanders Major Romanov and Major Semenov), Muslim battalion (530 people, headed by Major Halbaev), Nine Rota 345 Shelf (87 people, commander of Starley Eastotine), anti-tank platoon (27 people under the leadership of Starley Savostyanova). He led the operation Colonel Kolesnik, and his deputy was Major General Drozdov, head of illegal intelligence KGB.

The assault time was transferred, as it was received about the information that Afghans begin to guess everything. On December 26, the fighters were allowed to make a campaign bath. All distributed fresh underwear, new vests. Halbaev received an order to cover the KGB special forces and suppress any groups trying to break into the territory of the residence. The main task to seize the palace was pinned on the fighters of the Zenit and Thunder.

At about 7 o'clock in the morning, on December 27, 1979, on the conventional signal "Storm 333" on a single serpentine road, the KGB assault brigades began to rise. At this time, Halbayev's people captured important positions and firing points near the palace, filmed sentries. A separate group managed to neutralize the management of the infantry battalion. Twenty minutes after the start of the attack "Thunder" and "Zenit" on combat vehicles, overcoming the external positions of protection, broke into the square in front of the palace. The doors of the landing offices opened, and the fighters poured out. Some of them managed to break at the first floor of Taj Bek. There was a brutal fight with the personal guard of the self-stocked president, most of its relatives held.

Parts of the Muslim battalion together with the mouth of the paratroopers shaped an external ring of defense, reflecting the attacks of the guard brigade. Two platforms of GRU special forces captured the barracks of the tank and the first infantry battalions, they fell tanks in their hands. It was found that there are no shutters in tank guns and machine guns. It was the work of our military advisers who, under the pretext of the repair, removed the mechanisms in advance.

In the Palace, Afghans fought with persistence of doomed. Hurricane fire from the windows pressed the Special Forces to the Earth, and the attack choked. It was a turning point, it was necessary to urgently raise people and ahead to help those who had already fought in the palace. Under the guidance of Boyarian officers, Karpukhin and Kozlov, the fighters rushed into the attack. In these moments, Soviet soldiers suffered the greatest losses. In an attempt to get to the windows and doors of the palace, many fighters were injured. Only a small group burst inside. In the building itself was a cruel battle. The special forces acted strongly and desperately. If no one came out of the premises with his arms raised, then grenades flew into the broken doors. However, Soviet soldiers were too little to eliminate Amina. Only about two dozen people were in the palace, many were injured. For a long time having fluttered, Colonel Boyarian ran out of the front entrance and began to call for the help of the fighters of the Muslim battalion. Of course, the opponent also noticed him. Crazy bullet, chopped from the body armor, struck the neck of the colonel. Boyarian was fifty-seven years old. Of course, he could not participate in the storm, official position and age allowed him to lead the battle from the headquarters. However, it was a real officer of the Russian army - his subordinates went into battle, and he had to be close to them. Coordinating the actions of the groups, he also acted as a simple attack aircraft.

After the Muslim battalion fighters approached the help of the KGB special forces, the fate of the defenders of the palace was predetermined. The bodyguards of amine, about a hundred fifty soldiers and personal security officers persistently resisted, not wanting to give up. From large losses of our servicemen saved the fact that Afghans were mainly armed with German MP-5, which did not pierce the body armor of Soviet soldiers.

According to the story of the assistant Amina, it became clear about the last moments of the life of the dictator. In the first minutes of the battle, the owner ordered to inform about the attack on the palace of our military advisers. He shouted: "We need help of the Russians!". When the adjutant rightly noticed: "After all, the Russians are shooting!", The president fell out of himself, grabbed the ashtray and threw it into the face of the subordinate, adorgan: "You're lying, this can not be!" Then he himself tried to get through. But there was no connection. In the end, Amin depressedly said: "That's right, I suspected this ...".

When the shootout ceased, and the smoke was dissipated in the palace, Hafizules Amina was found near the bar. That actually served the cause of his death, and remained unexplained, or our bullet, or a fragment of grenades. The version was also expressed that Amin was shot their own. This operation was officially completed.

All wounded, including Afghans, provided medical care. Civilian under protection was taken to the location of the battalion, and all the killed defenders of the palace were buried in one place near Taj-Bek. The graves for them dug off prisoners. For the identification of Hafizules, Amines specially flew Babrak Karmal. Soon the radio station of Kabul was transferred to the message that, by decision of the military tribunal, Hafizule Amin was sentenced to the death penalty. Already later, the words of Bubraca Karmaly recorded on the fate of Afghanistan were recorded. He said that "... The system of torture amine and his approximate - executioners, murderers and usurperators of tens of thousands of my compatriots were broken ...".

In the course of a short, but fierce battle loss of Afghans amounted to about 350 people killed. Approximately 1,700 people got into captivity. Our soldiers lost eleven people: five paratroopers, including Colonel Boyarian, and six military personnel of the Muslim battalion. Also died randomly found in the palace, Colonel Kuznechenkov. Thirty-eight people earned the injury of varying severity. With a shootout, two young sons of the president were killed, but a widow of Amina with a wounded daughter remained alive. At first, they were kept under guard in a special room in the location of the battalion, and then were transferred to government representatives. The fate of the rest of the president's defenders turned out to be tragic: many of them were shot soon, others died in prison. This outcome of the events, apparently contributed to the reputation of the amine, which even for the eastern standards was considered a cruel and bloody dictator. According to tradition, its environment is also automatically pallged with shame.

After removing the amine, the plane from Moscow immediately flew in Bagram. In him, under the supervision of KGB employees was a new head of Afghanistan - Babrak Karmal. When Tu-134 has already decreased, the light suddenly went out on the entire airfield. The aircraft sat only with the help of onboard headlights. The aircraft team threw the brake parachute, but the aircraft rushed almost to the edge of the runway. As it turned out later, the head of the airbase was a tary supporter of Amina and, suspecting a non-taxable aircraft while entering the landing of a strange aircraft, turned off the lighting, hoping to arrange a plane crash. But the high mastery of pilots made it possible to avoid the tragedy.

Already much later began to pop up interesting Facts about the operation. First, it turned out that during the entire assault there was no connection with the command clause. The cause of absence is so no one and could not clearly explain. The attempt to immediately report on the liquidation of the president was also not crowned with success. Secondly, after only a couple of years, the meeting of the participants of those December events, it became known what could turn into a delay with a message about the death of the president. It turned out that military leaders had a reserve plan for the destruction of amine and its approximal. A slightly later assault team, a task consisting in the seizure of the Presidential Palace, received the Vitebsk Division, which did not know about the earlier actions of the KGB and the Muslim battalion. If a message was not time to achieve the goal, the Belarusians could start a new assault attempt. And then it is not known how much for ignorance, the participants of the first offensive would be killed in the confusion. It is possible that it is just such an event of events - to remove more witnesses - and planned.

But the colonel Kolesnik told: "In the evening for the next day, the day of all the leaders of this operation, one Soviet soldier, one Soviet soldiers, almost focused. Returning from a banquet organized about the successful completion of the operation, on the Aminov "Mercedes" we were fired at the General Staff building, which is under the protection of paratroopers. Lieutenant Colonel Shvets first noticed strange outbreaks on the asphalt road and realized that they were denoted. He slipped out of the car, cut the hourly selected mat. It affected better than the password. We called the Chief of Karaul. The resulting lieutenant first received in the ear, and only then he listened to the end of the application of weapons on the posts on posts. When we examined the car, they found several bullet holes in the hood. A little higher and nor nor Kozlov would be alive. Already at the end, General Drozdov said quietly by Lieutenant: "Son, thank you for shooting your fighter to shoot."

A unique Muslim division created under the auspices was almost immediately after the storm of the palace was derived from Afghanistan. The whole technique was transferred Vitebsk Division. The servicemen left only personal weapons and on January 2, 1980, two An-22 were sent to Tashkent. For successful conduct special operation The fighters of the Muslim battalion were awarded orders and medals: seven people received the Order of Lenin, ten people received the Order of the Red Banner, forty-five - the Order of the Red Star, forty-six fighters were awarded the medal "for the courage", and the rest are the medal "for fighting merit" . Colonel Kolesnik became the hero of the Soviet Union, soon he was granted the general title.

The battalion temporarily ceased to exist, the servicemen were dismissed, and all officers are scattered through various garrisons for further service. After re-formation, by October 1981, it did not have anyone who took part in the storm of the palace.

Many events related to the coup in Afghanistan were presented with the Soviet press completely in a different light. According to the initial version of the media, Amina was arrested. And only then, he was sentenced to death. The film about it was removed in advance and prepared for the show after the death of the dictator. The participation of the Soviet special forces and the real death of the self-pricing president was not mentioned anywhere.

After the murder of Hafizules, Amina in Afghanistan continued to enter parts of the 40th army, which occupied cities, villages and main centers of the country. The control was taken by industrial and administrative facilities, highways, airfields, mountain passes. Nobody was going to fight, hoping only convince the surrounding seriousness of intentions. As a last resort, to solve all the tasks of small blood, not suggesting the future scale of combat. The point of view of the General Staff was such that only the demonstration of mighty military force, rocket parts, tanks, artillery. This is inspired by horror in the heart of the opposition, forcing them to surrender or just disperse. In fact, the appearance of strangers in an Islamic country that keeps the experience of countless wars, a country where the bulk of the population is able to handle weapons from the earliest childhood, he expressed the smooth civil war, giving it the meaning of Jihad.

Despite the fact that the presidential elimination operation was successful, Western countries did not slow down to designate this fact as evidence of the occupation of Afghanistan Soviet UnionAnd the subsequent leaders of Afghanistan (Karmal and Nadzhibulla) call the puppet leaders.

On October 30, 1981, at two o'clock in the morning, the 154th separate detachment of special forces, who previously obtained the name "Muslim battalion", moved the state border of the USSR and rushed to the place of the upcoming dislocation. Thus took place the second parish of "Musbat" to the Afghan land. The new commander by the unit Major Igor Stoderevsky served with him until the very end of the war.

Special fighters

The most responsible tasks were proven active acting actions to search and destroy caravans. The appropriate goals were made by many parts and units, including aircraft, but the main role was assigned to the forces of special purpose exploration of GRU (Special Forces divisions in the GRU Staff system were created for targeted sabotage problems - detecting and destroying missile installations, headquarters and other key objects in the enemy's rear; order; The Minister of Defense of March 1950 was envisaged to deploy 46 ROT SPN in military districts). Preparation, methods and tactics of their actions have almost fully corresponded to the tasks, however, until 1984, part of the special forces in the 40th army were used limited, and often not for their intended purpose. After entering the troops of the power of SPN GRU in Afghanistan, they limited one 469th separate explosion in Kabul, which was attached to the case for individual tasks - intelligence, the deferred to verify information, seize the prisoners and destroy the leaders and the opposition commanders. Later, two more SPN squads were introduced (SPN's detachment of about 500 people corresponded to the army battalion). When entering Afghanistan, they were called "separate motorized rifle battalions" to the secrecy of the secrecy with the serial numbers - the 1st, 2nd, etc. So, the 154th OOSPN became the 1st battalion, 177th OOSPN - 2nd Battalion. These names were used in intumectuate documentation and use. The 154th Oosp from Chirchik and 177 OOSP from Kappshaiya Alma-Ata region was transferred to Ara in October 1981.

Special Forces Special Force Sergei Melnicuka 1st company Jelalabadsky 154th OOSPN, Summer 1987. The division was observed by uniformity in clothing - all fighters are dressed in campaign CWs, which for convenience were often divided into separate jacket and pants, cutting into the belt.

The Chirchiksky detachment received his own name - 154th - in front of the introduction, October 21, 1981, and was located in the city of Aquing the province of Jauzdjan in the north of the dra. His first commander as part of 40a became Major I.Yu. Stoderevsky. From August 1982, the detachment was transferred to the Aybak neighboring Samangan province.

177 Supns of Lieutenant Colonel B.T. Kerimbayev formed in February 1980 from the scouts of the Chuchkovskaya 16th Brigade SPN (MVO) and the Kapchagay 22nd Brigade (Savo), however Martial banner The detachment was received only in September 1981 before leaving the dra. The border of the detachment crossed together with the 154th ORPN on October 21, and after a week he received the first combat task.

Special forces had its armored vehicles (BTR and BMP), trucks of increased passability, mortars and anti-aircraft plants (high speed-defined automatic Zu-23 and Schilk rainfall significantly increased the fire capabilities of the unit, and large elevation angles allowed to firing the sheer slopes).

The activities of SPN initially drove into the protection of industrial facilities, a few and therefore had special importance - gaspampromyslov in Shibargan and pipeline in Puli-Humry in the north of the country. They were equipped with officers of motorized rifle parts and almost lost their previous opportunities.

The states and structure of the detachments also reminded the usual army: each OOSPU had six mouths in its composition (three - SPN, according to one engineering-flameless, grenade-mortar and repair and material support and transport) and two groups - communications and zenith. There was heavy equipment on their weapons, including "chills", and a variety of armor. So, the 1st and 2nd company were equipped with BMP-1, 3rd - BMD-1, BRDM and BTR-60PB. At the occurrence during the Panjscher operation, the forces of the 177th OUOSP were involved. His intelligence officers at the end of the operation are located on the heads at the Ruhi, compensating for the weakness of the "national power" of the "national power" and covering their parts. Just "defeated" opponent and did not think to give up - July 18, the post of 31st interlocks of Lieutenant I.A. Egyazarova (15 people, 2 AGS-17, 1 DSHK and 1 Mortar "Tray") Kislak Marishtan had to reflect the attack of a large group of dusts, under the cover of large-caliber machine guns who had breaking to height, but bevelled with fire already on the outpost.

The special forces of the Kandaigan squad before departure to the task. As part of the group - separation of grenadeters with "flame". AGS-17 is disassembled for carrying, the weapon itself is packaged in the bag. In addition to the drum, they take a spare tape with shots.

Return of interlocks from ambush. Each second is armed with PC or PCM. The machine gun was the most suitable weapon for ambush actions, where a high density and a distance of fire was required, able to stop the caravan, knock out the car and suppress the protection resistance, and success often depended on the strength of a sudden proactive fire. Kandahar, summer of 1987.

By the end of the winter of 1984, special forces decided to use for their intended purpose. The 177th OOSPN was transferred to Gazni, lying on the backbone track, which had gone to the whole of Afghanistan, 154th placed in Jalalabad in the Pakistani direction. On February 10, the third squad, the 173rd Oosp from Kirovograd, formed by order of the USSR Defense Minister of February 29, 1980 on the basis of the 12th team of Special Forces on February 29, 1980 (then she was deployed in Lagaders' cluster). However, uncertainty with the role of special forces in Afghanistan led to a delay with the introduction. Through the border, the detachment passed on February 10, and by February 14, he arrived in his progress towards the Kandahar, where he was stationed in the military town of the airfield. These places were the hottest: the city lying near the border was at the intersection of vintage caravanways and served the country's key in the control of the South-West.

By the autumn, another detachment appeared in the army - the 668th OSOSN ("4th battalion") from the 9th Kirovograd Brigade from Ukraine from Ukraine appeared. It was placed in the village of Kolalalai at the Bagram's air base in the village, and in March 1985, it was transferred to the village of Sufl near the "hot spot" - the Dundal Oklota Baraka, because of which he became known as the Barakin Battalion.

For each of the SPN detachments, 4 transport helicopters Mi-8 and 4 combat MI-24 were fixed to ensure mobility and fire support, from the Special Forces of the Jelalabad 335th separate combat helicopter regiment, the Kandahar 280 separate helicopter regiment (OVP) and the 262th separate helicopter squadron (OVE) from Bagram. The helicopters of the Kabulian 50th separate mixed air strike were attracted to work with special forces.

Kandaigan special forces goes to departure together with the flood Afghans, styling everything necessary for several days - canister with water, clothing, sun bedspreads and soldier's blankets. One of the intelligence officers, in the costume of the CZS and in the sneakers, "kimrah", the machine is equipped with a horn from the RPK-74 with a capacity of 45 rounds.

Scouts lead Afghans-gunners to the helicopter. In order not to issue assistants, they were brought to the departure himself, sheltering from foreign eyes and grinding faces by Chalmami. In the so many unrecognized form, they left the airfield after the task.

With the advent of new tasks, the States, the structure and armament of the detachments were changed: the detachments were "unloaded", having relished with heavy weapons, and eliminated a disorder in the technique. Now the OOSPN included five mouths (three SPNs and one-mining and RMO), as well as communication groups and zras. In addition, four groups of ATS-17 and PPO-A "Bumblebee" were introduced in the RTPs of the SPN, from among the former flame retardant and grenade launches of the corresponding squad. In service with the 1st company were BMP-2, 2nd and 3rd - BTR-60 and BTR-70.

Before the introduction of mining mouth, each of the detachments had a fallen platoon (group) of specialization from the composition of the 45th engineering and sapper shelf. If necessary, artillery units have allocated artillery units to support the actions of SPN.

The most combal in the entire 40a, the special forces divisions received the latest technique and weapons, including special - communications, observations and alarms, silent shooting and explosive equipment. They were equipped and supplied better than others, although with a correction to the well-known non-historicalness of the rear services. Until the very end of the war, the army never received modern mountain equipment and the appropriate outfit, the best left to desire disguise and heavy body armor products. Little experimental samples of overalls, overalls, capes and equipment remained single. Especially many complaints were to medical devices, inappropriate shoes and low-calorie food solders, which forced to correct the supply at the expense of trophies, buy and instill on their own most necessary design items - backpacks, unloading vests, socks and stains.

Mi-8MT go to the task. After the first loss, all the departures are from connected and transport to shock and search and rescue - they were performed only by couples and links. Such an order allowed to provide quick assistance to the crew, shot down or severly for forced in non-sensitive places. The pilots and the landing chose the partner himself or helped them wait for revenue, covering fire from the air.

Mi-8mt of the Kandahar Helicopter Detachment of the 205th OVE, led 173-MU OOSPN. In the formation of "Special Forces" squadrons, they were staffed only by the newest helicopters of the last episodes. To ensure the possibilities of fire support, it was prescribed on all Mi-8, working with landing interlocks in the "curtain" system, besides onboard machine guns, hang two 32-charge missile blocks UB-32-57.

Commander of the battalion Mayor I.V. Solonik characterized the equipment like this: "Basically, all soldiers and officers are equipment and uniforms, since it constrained the movement, it was uncomfortable. Nobody went to army shoes on ambushes. In the mountains, she was inconvenient and heavy, and in her footsteps the enemy could easily determine the place of ambush. " In the 177th OOSPN, the personal composition was "reset" with money to order at home in the sewing cooperative at once, 200-300 kits of the necessary ammunition. In crushed caravans, the grabbed shoes were shoes, the same "bras", camouflage, sleeping bags and, especially - high-quality medicines, painkillers, blood substitutes, one-time syringes, harnesses and tires.

Intelligence and search actions were in small moving groups, usually a separation of 7-10 people. The group moved on several BTR, BMP and Urals along the famous caravan routes. Acting autonomously for 5-6 days and counting on a collision, mainly, only on its own strength, on armor and trucks, brought large-caliber machine guns and ATC-17. The special forces groups were sent to check the intelligence, for the capture of weapons and prisoners, detecting parking, caravans, warehouses and gangs, installed reconnaissance and signaling equipment and mined trails, including special means - sets of radio control of PD-530 explosion, non-contact explosive devices "Hunting " and others. Leading in the area of \u200b\u200bEast Surubi in November 1986, Major's Major Group from the 154th OOSPN in one three-day raid destroyed 15 dusts and revealed three warehouses, taking trophies.

Well-armed and prepared special forces were attracted to participation in the general operations, where they were used not only for special equipment, but also as ordinary units that brave fortresses and villages and cleaned terrain. However, and at the same time they were assigned a special role.

Mi-8MT goes to disembarking interlocks over the desert Registan. Clicking to the ground for stealth, the car goes over the most vegans, almost rolling with wheels its own shadow. Flying on a smasher at a speed of 150-180 km / h, prohibited by all the instructions, demanded a jewelry pilot, a charming and reaction.

After several false landings, distracting the possible enemy observers, the Mi-8MT hangs to land landing. The landing place was usually chosen near the foot of the mountains, where the landing was hiding from the likely chase.

The inspection group returns to the helicopter after checking the nomads. For inspection, even near, they took a radio with themselves - report on the progress of control and, if necessary, cause imaginary or require evacuation. To meet the scouts, the sand, taking the screw of the helicopter engines that continues to operate. They were not joined, so as not to spend the extra minutes for the launch when leaving or "sweep" to help.

Kandahar special forces after a successful way out. A caravan with raw materials for drugs was scored in the desert, in which 1700 kg of "Goods" and prisoners took. The exit cost without loss for its part. June 1987.

Special forces took prisoners. Many Afghans did not have documents, and nomads often did not know about them. Having delivered to the base, they were transferred to the local state security, which solved the fate of suspicious persons. In two healthy, inspired by the fears, arms are connected.

Prisoners brought from helicopter search. The usual matter was when the militants transferred to the Afghan authorities bought off or produced "for the lack of evidence" and soon turned out to be in caravans and gangs. In this case, the prisoners delivered to the airfield or in the garrison of its part, they tied their eyes so that they could not really consider and remember the situation and strength.

Packed "Spirit", taken with arms in hand. On his neck, he hangs a patrontash, a convoire paratrooper carries a selected rifle.

The famous "Boer" is the English store rifle of the Lee-Enfield system, the various models of which in large numbers fell into Afghanistan back in the 20s of the 20s, becoming known as the name of the Armed Forces since the time of the Anglo War. At the caliber of 7.62 mm, powerful cartridge and good ballistics made it in dangerous weapons with sniper characteristics. The sighting distance of the "Bura" reached 2500 m, and even the bullet from the bullet was saved.

Search of a caravanger. The clothes of Afghans did not have pockets, everything we needed in bags, and money and documents were usually hidden in Chalme. Afghan sits on bags with smuggled hashish, found in cargo.

Examination of the interplugs on the "Calatke" - the road from Shahjaya to the Calat. On the crowded, there were often cars with smuggling goods, and many drivers who changed the cravar craft to the driver's profession, worked by the delivery of the cargo by local gangs. Province of Zablished, the end of 1987.

Looking for cars on the road in the Pakistani border. On the local custom, men drove on the roof, and inside the cattle and women were inside. For forbidden property, in addition to smuggling, weapons and ammunition, uniforms, equipment and medicines needed in military affairs were found.

Hydrogenation "Toyota Simurg" was often encountered in caravans. Reliable, spacious and unpretentious car was welcome trophy and was successful in the Soviet units, where she received the nickname "Simurka". This car even managed to get the rooms of the military auto inspection of the 40th Army.

So, when taking a strengthenion of Vasatichigagi in the province of Kandahar in March 1986, a group of special forces of Art. Lt. Kravchenko was mistakenly planted directly on the anti-aircraft positions of dusts. Both of her helicopter were shot at the focus, but 12 paratroopers managed to gain a fit and knocked out the enemy from height, and then mastered the neighboring, ensuring the success of the operation. On March 20, 1986, a large strength was involved in the Khadegar gorge under the Kandahar's gorge - two battalions of the 70th ICCM, a Division of Gaubitz, two helicopters and two assault squadrons. Blocked the gorge from the surrounding mountains four groups of 173rd OOSPN for 16 people (each had ATC-17 and two PCs). They intercepted the opponent's opponent, shot it with fire from ambushes and carried aviation. The whole operation ranked 4 hours, there were 20 dead dubs and trophies without loss for their part.

Mostly, nevertheless, the detachments had to be engaged in "piece" tasks - hunting for caravans, for which special forces worked out his technique. According to the staff of the 40th Army, special forces fighters were "real professionals who had brilliant physical and military training." It is curious that non-inclusive and massive soldiers took place in special forces. According to Chirchchik Kombat Colonel Yu.M. Starov, "pitchings" are better suitable for sports. We need to carry the mountain of all junk, weapons and supplies, and the helicopters and the BTR are not rubber. Gulliver us for nothing, you need a compact guys.

According to the experience of the Kandaigan squad, typical equipment for 3-4 days independent work It was determined as follows: 2-3 sets of ammunition to personal weapons, 4 hand grenades (2 RGD-5 and 2 F-1), one rpg-18 grenade for two, two 200-g Troitile checkers, 5 flue checkers and 5 signal jet cartridges , 4 mines to 82 mm mortar (if it was taken with you) or drum with a ribbon to ATC-17, food supply for 3-5 days, 2-3 flasks of water or tea, cloak tent and blanket. The equipment varied in time of the year and conditions - winter and in the mountains were added warm things, boobs and sleeping bags. Massive PBX-17, mortars and machine guns disassembled into "lifting" parts of 15-20 kg. Sometimes in favor of the ammunition, part of the food was donated - as she taught the same old workers, "if the cartridges are enough with you, you will always add to me." The overall equipment of the fighter weighed, at best and the "summer" embodiment, 35-40 kg, and the most necessary. The group prepared for exit numbered from 10 to 25 people, and, in addition to the obligatory sniper, the grenadeometer and the connection, could include grenade launchers with ATC-17, an artillery correctioner and aircraft carrier, miners and flamethrower from the departments of the chemical troops, armed with an ammunition of a volume explosion .

Look inspection of the cargo "Mercedes". The driver and hosts of the goods under the gun are waiting for the test results. Bags and bales singered the dipstick and controlled by the minion currency, looking for weapons and ammunition - the main purpose of inspection. Province of the Pacty, winter of 1988.

At night, the inspections were not conducted - the caravan crouching in the dark, not raisins and nuts and nuts. The fate of those who came to ambush decided to definitely: fire for defeat. In the photo - "Simurg", seen at night on the road and undermined by a managed Fugas. The driver killed in the cockpit and accompanying, and in the morning the car finished the helicopters. Registan, January 18, 1988.

The group was divided into seizure links, fire and cover, the actions of which were coordinated in advance and worked out, specifying the placement of forces and mutual support. The basis was the top three, the seniority in which was not always appointed by the rank, but by experience and submission to the knowledgeable sergeant could well get a young officer.

Exit to the place of ambush, where the caravan or gang was expected, remained the most difficult part of the plan. From his secretion, not only success, but also the fate of the group depended. In places where the emergence of anyone else's person became noticeable, nomads, shepherds and local residents could give an ambush, the dream posts were followed by the situation, immediately informing the dangers on radio, signal fires and mirror "bunnies."

Caravan inspection in the desert. Ravers under the sight drive camels together and laid on the ground to check the blizzards. Helicopters of cover continue to circle nearby, ready to stop the attempts of the caravanchers to disperse or support the dysfunction with fire with resistance. In this caravan they took 15 prisoners suspected that they were heading from a foreign educational camps to one of the local gangs. Kandahar Province, February 12, 1988.

After a night ambush under Shahugoam. A surviving pickup with a cargo and did not have time to disperse the caravantes, bevelled in a speed-up battle.

The machine gunner is triggered to shooting, looking at the ATP - small-hand-machine-gun structure. The ATP was built from the stones assembled nearby and provided protection against firefire from small arms. Thanks to the speed of preparation and abundance of building materials around, the location of the interlocks or ambushes was placed in several ATPs, which allowed the fire in different directions. In cells, grenades and reserves of cartridges could be laid.

A large caravan, the camels of which were carried weapons and ammunition. In Blades of the interrupted animals, about hundreds of Chinese jet shells found.

The cargo taken with the fight, which was nothing to take, poured the diesel and burned in place.

In the morning at the site of the battle - a killed caravan near the scattered sackers with drugs. No one from the drivers and accompanying the cargo tried not to give to leave - if the shooting in the mountains was commonplace and almost did not attract attention, then the gone could cause a face and bring trouble.

MI-8MT 335 purchases the ambush by Jelalabian special forces. Most scouts have characteristic flat RD-54 worsens, some are ordinary backpacks with sour extra pockets. The fighters at the helicopter carry anti-transport mini PTM-62. On the overalls of the closure, an impressive hole is visible - a trail of the raid on the rocky mountains.

The Kandaigan detachment of the 173rd Ohp Andrey Goryachev before leaving for an ambush in the fall of 1987.

In equipment - sneakers, a belt with pockets for shots to the appolt of GP-25 and a unloading vest, in the pockets of which, in addition to the "Rozhkov", grenades and signaling cartridges. Sergeant Goryachev died on October 24, 1987 from multiple wounds in battle in Kistak.

The most valuable trophies are reactive projectiles and CRKK "Stinger", for the capture of which awarded a promise to the Order was promised.

Trophies taken after the defeat of the Dustvian warehouse: cartridges and weapons of different systems, including hunting rifles, several "drills" of different models and years of release, self-loading Carabinity SCS and RPGs, boxes with fuses, grenades, packaging explosives, stinking and underfloor cord, cartridge Boxes to machine guns and mines in ribbed plastic enclosures that are not detected by minion curbers.

To "replay" the enemy, fraudulent maneuvers and disembarking methods were invented. At first it was carried out, putting forward on armored vehicles and trucks, sometimes accompanying the way out of the direction of false armorroups in other directions. Reaching the right area, the group hurried and, faithful to the rules of the "Scout of the feet of the feet", the march in the direction of the rapid pace went aside. The transition to the place of ambush, confused traces, held 10-20 km (and sometimes much more). It was tried to complete him before sunrise, having time to disguise. The technique continued to move on, distracting the observers of the enemy, but continuing to stay in a close area to support fighters if necessary. Nevertheless, the waiting area had to be appointed no closer than 30-50 km so as not to move the caravan. In the ambush, they knew that, in the case of which, help would be able to subjugate, and remained only with light weapons, counting on training, surprise and good luck.

Having taught the position ("Sitting on the Tropo"), the special forces tried nothing to issue an ambush place, avoiding movements and without breaking fire - at best, discovered a worthless opponent overlap the route, losing or changing the path of the caravan. At worst, noticing the group, the dushes pulled up their strength and tried to destroy it, having superiority and in numbers, and in service. The danger of counter-dormant ambushes could notice the group at the exit. On a hostile territory, even with a good organization and disguise, a group, as a rule, remained unnoticed by no more than 2-3 days and, in the absence of results, the ambush tried to shoot, without waiting for opponent's response.

The Kabulian 469th company SPN company occupies the position of the stone ridge over the gorge at the mouth of Panjscher. Blocking the caravan route in the flooded dusty of the area required focusing fighters. As part of the group - flamethmeters with reactive RPO-A "Bumblebee", whose ammunition of the bulk explosion provided a detachment with firepower, not inferior to heavy artillery projectiles. Anaba district, September 1986

The results of combat activities 1985-1988. 370th oosp

Such an organization, recalled in miniature, general-time operations with a column yield and accompanied by technique and combat actions in place quickly showed its drawbacks. The effectiveness of the actions of special forces depended, first of all, from secrecy and surprise, and a bulky and stretched landing of groups did not contribute to this. It was largely due to the small performance of ambushes in the first year of combat work SPN: for the winter of 1984/85, the OCSV strength was conducted on 1,460 ambushes, but the percentage of their success remained at the same low level.

Operations were more successful with the participation of helicopters that landed groups and remained in readiness to support them with air from the air, and if necessary, to quickly evacuate. Power changes occurred in March 1985, when the forces of special forces were reformed and significantly strengthened. With the preservation of the 469th Kabul company, the SPN, the number of detachments increased to eight, throwing additionally three of the union and one more forming on the spot. In addition to the already available parts of the SPN in Kandahar, Jalalabad and Gazni, the 334th OSPP ("5th battalion"), 370th OOSPN ("6th battalion"), 186th OOSPN ("7th 7 Battalion ") and 411th OOSPN (" 8th battalion ").

The 334th Ospun was formed in the winter of 1985 on the basis of the 5th Brigade from Marina Gorka (Belyvo) and is replenished with a person from the 2nd, 14th, 9th and 22nd OBRSP. After the transfer to Chirchik, he went to the location of the deployment, arriving in Asadabad on March 29. The first commander of the detachment was Major V.Ya. Terentyev. The permanent deployment point of the 334th Ospun, already acting in the most complicated border area, was so close to the Pakistani border, which was almost near the Kunar River, there were Bases of militants, from where the garrison was shelled. The Kunar Valley, who aburred by Dushmans soon confirmed the bad fame - the group of the overstended first company of the 334th Ospun, coming to the combination of the Moravo Gorge, on April 21, came under the fire from the ambush, was cut off from his own and almost completely died, the company Captain N. was killed in battles N. Cebruck, commander of the group Lieutenant N.A. Kuznetsov undermined himself with a grenade, also seven surrounded fighters were accepted. The dead had to endure with the battle, and in three days a detachment lost 29 people.

Soon after that they changed the commander - for two years he became Major G.V. Bulls, famous for both Gregory Kunar.

370th OSOS, formed on January 1, 1985 in Chuchkovo (MVO), under the start of Major I.M. CROT arrived at the place of basing in Lashkaryg (Gilmennd Province) on March 21. Not far from the first on April 14, they posted the 186th OOSPN, who arrived from Izyaslav. It was formed on the basis of the 8th OBRSPN on the basis of the General Staff Directive on January 6, 1985 on the same state No. 21/422. The formation of the "southern belt" by the fall ended the 411th OOSPN in the pharynse, organized on the basis of the 70th Ommo and the 5th GW. MSD. The task of these detachments was the overlapping of routes through the Khash and Registan desert, where there was practically no garrisons.

Organizationally SPN troops were summarized in two brigades - the 15th and 22nd OSCRS with headquarters in Jalalabad and Lashkarygha (better known as Lashkarevka). Directive General Staff No. 314/2/0208 In April, the management and divisions of the brigades were administered. In the 15th brigade, the 154th, 177th, 688th and 334th OSOSN were entered, in the 22nd brigade - 173rd, 370th, 186th and 411th OOSPN (the latter was fully equipped By winter, 1985).

Special Forces attracted to work as "fire teams" - carrying out special equipment and operations in other areas. An-26 delivered the 193rd OOSPN intermarry with equipping and weapons after the operation back to Kandahar.

The group commander leads to a helicopter of Afghan-gunner. In order to remain unrecognized and maintained in secret, cooperation with the "Shoot", the Afghans hid face under Chalma, opening it only in the helicopter's cabin.

In the headquarters of the army, the general guidance of the special forces was engaged in the operative group "Screen", which provided brigades intelligence and coordinated them. Each of the battalions numbered about 500 people, and all the forces of special forces accounted for more than 4,000 fighters. On their level and the relationship with the general divisions, the fact that, on the prejudices of the command of the army, should be required to 80 thousand people to perform the same tasks of overlapping the border with ordinary forces. The belt along the Pakistani border and in the south was supposed to control the zone almost 1200 km.

The available data on the 186th detachment allows you to evaluate its combat work: by the end of 1985, a little more than 200 days, his fighters performed 202 combat outputs and 45 departures to inspect. The actions of the interlocks (200 days off) were preferably in ambushes and only twice were attracted to the forces of the entire detachment for raids to the Durass Bases. Excellent ambushes were 36 (18%) in which 370 dusts destroyed, 34 cars and many ammunition, taking 15 prisoners and 98 units of weapons. The losses were 12 killed, including two officers.
