Belarusian special forces. Army of Belarus: Patches of Special Forces

It took three days to write this article. Three sleepless nights I spent dripping in the flickering light light bulb. The voids in the material were gradually filled, logical chains were built, the system grew in front of me in all its dazzling beauty. Special Forces of the Republic of Belarus.

I’ll make a reservation right away: I use the term “Special Forces” here in a rather philistine formulation, meaning by it “Armed Forces special purpose". Ay, that won’t work either - many of the units below have nothing to do with the Armed Forces (AF - this is only the Ministry of Defense, well, let's add the Ministry of Internal Affairs here with its brigade from Uruchcha). The classic Spetsnaz (Spetsnaz) of the times of the USSR in Belarus was represented by only the 5th Special Forces Brigade of the Belarusian Military District, whose conscripts still mistakenly consider themselves airborne troops, which are not in Belarus at all. In general, the confusion is still there. Absolutely not saying that I figured out all these intricacies completely. There are still a lot of mysteries here. However, what happened, happened.

Showing respect for the military secrets of the state, I will not write here the unit numbers and their locations. However, the interested person can always find it on the Internet. I am writing the number only because I am not too sure about most of the numbers, the data are very approximate. I will also not touch on loyalty issues - this topic is painfully amorphous. Today you can post pictures from public pages about Novorossia with might and main, and tomorrow artillery will cover your village along with your old mother. And love for neighboring states will immediately evaporate somewhere.

I also do not pretend to be fundamentally new, unique and pioneering. Before me, this topic was raised by Igor Tyshkevich in this material of his, which I took as a kind of basic basis, however, significantly expanding and supplementing it. So let's go!

5th Separate Special Purpose Brigade

5th Separate Special Forces BrigadeThe only unit in Belarus that can be fully called Spetsnaz. It bears the same name as in the days of the Union. At the same time, it was considered one of the best spetsnaz formations in all the Soviet armed forces. He has combat experience in the Afghan and Karabakh campaigns. According to rumors, the financing of the brigade is very serious, many people from it have made good military careers. Not the same, of course, as, but strong enough. They are very well armed, the brigade is constantly rearming, there are the best weapons of potential opponents. Interestingly, it is also equipped with conscripts. A number of servicemen in all seriousness consider themselves paratroopers and refer to the Airborne Forces. The legs of this story grow from Soviet times, when all Spetsnaz soldiers (and this phrase itself) were deeply classified. When the demobilized under white arms was escorted from the unit, they gave him a vest and a blue beret, accompanying it all with the words: “When you return to your village, blurt out there that you served in the landing force so that they don’t ask unnecessary questions. The beret and vest, of course, were accompanied by a lifetime receipt in silence. I recently heard these stories live, when in a trolleybus a tipsy grandfather was talking about his service in the special forces. Before that, I had no living witnesses. To date, the number of brigade starts somewhere from 1500 people. The composition also includes a special detachment of special forces, staffed from some officers, the so-called "officer company". It is a high-class unit capable of solving any problems. According to rumors, the first experience of creating such a connection in the USSR. Today it is unique even by the standards of the CIS.

38th Guards Separate Air Assault Brigade

38th Guards Separate Air Assault Brigade Belongs to the North-Western Operational Command. Formed on the basis of the Airborne Forces. The news recently flashed in the vein that it was given the previous name, or rather the prefix "airborne assault". The brigade was deprived of this prefix in the 90s without any malicious intent. Just an accepted military doctrine that excludes any kind of offensive action on the territory foreign countries, was reflected in the names of parts and compounds. The number is about 1300 people. It is equipped with conscripts, who can rightfully wear blue berets, because it is at the base airborne troops and formed this brigade. They say that an absolutely incredible thing was invented in the brigade - landing ... without parachutes! True, from a helicopter, at low altitude and at low speed. Now the brigade is one of the most mobile and trained units. The unit also became famous on the other side: it was from here that young soldiers fled several times, including with weapons, unable to withstand the terry hazing.

103rd Guards Separate Airborne Brigade

103rd Guards Separate Airborne Brigade In terms of meaning and functions, it is not much different from the aforementioned 38th brigade. The same landing traditions, the same Afghanistan, the same recruits fleeing from the old-timers who are going crazy from impunity. However, the unit is very well prepared. Traditions have an effect, because the unit fought, among other things, in the Second World War. The number is approximately 1300-1400 people, the majority are conscripts, contract soldiers make up only 20-25% of total strength brigades. An interesting detachment was singled out from its composition, which will be discussed below.

UPD (August 2017): found very interesting information (author Anatoly Yermolin): “At the suggestion of KGB chairman Vladimir Kryuchkov, who prepared a note “On the creation of a special forces division in the KGB troops of the USSR” , the Politburo of the Central Committee decided to support the proposal of the KGB*, and already on December 4, 1990, on the basis of the directives of the Minister of Defense of the USSR No. 314/3/01 and No. 314/3/02, the transfer of the 103rd Guards airborne division Airborne and 75th motorized rifle division(ZakVO) to the State Security Committee.

And the same situation, but described not in a dry official language, but by a direct participant in those events (Lebed A.I.): “There were“ smart heads ”who, using the tension growing in society, proposed a non-standard move - to transfer the division to the Committee state security. No division - no problem. And ... they handed it over, creating a situation where the division was no longer "VED", but also not "KGB". That is, no one needs it at all. "You ate two rabbits, I ate none, but on average one each." Combat officers have been turned into clowns. Green caps, green shoulder straps, blue vests, symbols on caps, shoulder straps and chest - paratrooper. Among the people, such a wild mixture of forms was aptly dubbed the “conductor.”

33rd Guards Separate Special Purpose Detachment

33 guards separate detachment special purpose A very interesting compound. Apparently, there are only two of them in the country (the first is the aforementioned “officer company” from the 5th brigade). In 2002, on the basis of the 38th and 103rd mobile brigades, Special Airborne Detachments (SDO) were formed, which were regularly part of these airborne brigades and were formed from yesterday's most trained conscripts and athletes (concurrently) who wanted to continue serving in the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus. As instructors for TSP, VDP, FP and other subjects of BP were appointed the best specialists from the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus, past hot spots and local conflicts. The best young officers of these brigades were appointed commanders of yesterday's conscripts. Over time, as part of the reform and optimization of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus, out of two SDOs (special landing units), the best were selected and brought together in 33 Special Forces. The detachment is completed only by officers and ensigns, the level of training is serious even by the standards of other special forces of Belarus. True, recently one of the detachment’s servicemen was noted for being seen in the ranks of the separatists in the Donbass. Is this a widespread phenomenon? I hope no.

527th Separate Special Purpose Company

527th separate company Special PurposeThe connection is directly subordinate to the North-West Operational Command. Little is known about him, at the level of several amateur videos. In the words of the forums, "the only connection really ready for war, in contrast to the fraud of the rest." True, it is not clear from what facts such a conclusion is drawn. Completed, including conscripts. It is also unclear on the basis of which unit it was formed, according to fragmentary information, it was formed already under independent Belarus in 1992. The number starts from 150-200 people. It is interesting because, apparently, it is not included in the MTR (Forces special operations), and in the ground forces.

22nd Special Purpose Company

The most mysterious unit of those that I have cited and will cite in the third part of the cycle. The latest information that I found dates back to 2014 (a report on some competitions). According to rumors, it is subordinate to the Western Operational Command and is deployed in the Grodno region. The goals and objectives are approximately equal to the rest of the special intelligence units. Distinctive feature- the absence of a heraldic mention on the website of the Ministry of Defense (all other units are there). This is the strangest thing. I found only fragmentary information from various forums and videos (the latter are dated 2008-2014). They also write that the company is cropped, which fully explains its absence from the heraldic list. In any case, I want to believe that somewhere else we have a powerful unit of 100-200 people. The chevron in the photo, apparently, belongs to the 22nd special forces company.

End of the second part.

Loud stories about hazing in the military units of Belarus with terrible endings convinced many that everything is bad in the Belarusian troops. and are even afraid to let their sons go for the passage military service, the future soldiers themselves also tremble a little before the first step into army life, about which recently.

To check whether everything is as bad in the army as ordinary people imagine, a Sputnik correspondent went to the 3rd separate special forces brigade of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in military unit 3214, and spent the whole day with the soldiers of the 8th special forces company - from rise to lights out.

Military unit 3214: live the life of a commando in one day

Life on schedule

The whole life of a soldier is strictly subject to the daily routine and schedule, which is compiled for each week by the company commander. Throughout the life of a soldier, a soldier's day consists of a standard set of activities: getting up, exercising, breakfast, combat training, lunch, more classes, cleaning weapons, hand-to-hand combat, dinner, personal time, watching news programs, an evening walk and lights out. This is a normal way of life for the army.

The guys admit that you get used to such a schedule quickly, but at the same time there is no feeling of "Groundhog Day" - time flies unnoticed. The commander of the 8th company, Captain Sergei Dubovik, revealed the essence of this "pedagogical technique": "When a soldier has every minute scheduled, when he is constantly busy, he does not have time to do stupid things."

Indeed, the company’s servicemen even use their personal time to good use: they call relatives, read books, sew under collars to uniforms, play music and even play chess. This is not an embellished reality from the stories of company officers, this is what every visitor who accidentally or not accidentally ended up in the unit will see. Unexpected visits are not uncommon here: the brigade commander can visit the company at any time without warning, chat with the soldiers, check the schedules of dismissals and outfits.

The day of the soldiers of the special forces of the internal troops is so busy that they have no problems with sleep: you just have to put your head on the pillow after lights out - and your eyes close on their own. Being on your feet from 6 am to 10 pm is not an easy task.

This is SWAT

The day of the military personnel of the company begins at 06:00 with the command "Rise!". Still sleepy soldiers line up, officers count whether everything is in place, the guys put on sports uniforms and go out to exercise.

Up to 15 degrees of frost, they go out to exercise "on the bare torso"

Charging for special forces is sacred, it takes place at any time of the year and in any weather, even in severe frost. An ordinary person will surely shudder when he finds out that up to 15 degrees below zero they go out to exercise "on their bare torso", and in winter they still wipe themselves with snow, douse themselves with water and go barefoot.

The soldiers themselves do not seem to feel discomfort from the cold and proudly say: "This is special forces!" Hardening gives its results: some senior soldiers admitted that they never caught a cold during the entire period of service.

Between exercise and breakfast, soldiers have 40 minutes to make their beds, wash and dress. There is a stereotype that has been common since Soviet times that a soldier should get dressed while a match is burning. In the special forces brigade, the idea that a soldier should dress in 45 seconds is not supported, they consider it a relic of the past and some kind of mockery.

“If you are given 40 minutes to wash and get dressed, why dress in 45 seconds? Then just stand there? It makes no sense,” says company commander Sergei Dubovik. However, he stressed that this standard is being worked out, and each serviceman can get dressed even in 30 seconds in case of an alarm or rising on warning signals.

Calories are tasty and healthy

To serve well, you need to eat well, they are convinced of the internal troops. The food here is really great: breakfast, lunch and dinner contain as many calories as there are not in the diet of the average person. But after all, the workload of a soldier is much greater than that of an office worker.

At the entrance to the dining room before each meal, you can see the "control dish". These are standard portions. Each soldier who believes that he was cheated on the distribution can compare the received dish with the control one, including by weight. But such questions usually do not arise: the principle of social justice in everything in this military unit is strictly observed.

If the soldier's height exceeds 190 centimeters, he receives a double portion. Soldiers from the 8th company admitted that at first it was difficult to eat the prescribed portions, they had to force themselves. But over time, the appetite came: daily intense training inevitably causes hunger.

"Burgers" with sausage and cheese - almost like in a "citizen"

Having taken places at the tables, the servicemen are intensively wielding forks and spoons. The buns are buttered and made into "burgers" with sausage and cheese. It turns out no less nutritious than in fast food chains. The guys laugh: almost like in a "civilian", but this same "citizen" is not much missed, especially those who have served for more than six months.

The food is varied: cereals, soups, salads, fish and meat. TO palatability no questions either. Of course, this is not a restaurant with a Michelin star chef, but the dishes are tastier than in standard factory canteens. Professional chefs work in the kitchen, and soldiers with culinary education help them. It turns out that there are a lot of such in the brigade. There are even guys who managed to work in the capital's restaurants before joining the army. Each of them can easily name a recipe for a dish that can be cooked in 5 minutes.

Come on brother

There are many trainings in the special forces of the internal troops that require physical endurance. Not all young fighters cope with the loads at first. But in this case, both company officers and colleagues do everything so that the lagging behind does not feel inferior.

According to company commander Sergei Dubovik, not everyone can run 10 kilometers out of habit. In this case, an officer is assigned to the soldier, who runs with him at his pace, gradually increasing speed and distance. After a while, this soldier begins to run just as well as the rest.

There are general-arms physical training standards, and there are special forces ones. This is the level below which, while serving in special forces, it is shameful to perform exercises. So everyone wants to do more. For example, the brigade standard for pull-ups is at least 15 times, while in other parts, to get "excellent", it is enough to pull up 12 times.

Training takes place in the spacious gym of unit 3214, except on days when it is busy with any activities. In this case, the sports corner in the location of the company helps out. The physical training and hand-to-hand combat classes have their own training system: only guys of equal opportunities are put into sparring, and the junior draft for six months is completely engaged in a separate program. A separate program is also provided for professional athletes: they devote more time to training and preparing for competitions. Also, before the championships, a special daily routine is established for them, which allows them to gain strength to achieve a better result.

It is impressive how the soldiers themselves support each other if something does not work out. In hand-to-hand combat training, you hear every now and then: "Come on, brother, you can do it." With such moral support, it simply cannot fail. Yes, and the patience of the instructors is amazing: they will show how this or that technique is done, as many times as necessary for you to understand and repeat it yourself without flaws.

This "brotherly" atmosphere is felt in everything, everyone is ready to help when necessary. This gives the soldier confidence that in any even the most difficult situation he will not be left alone, that the "brothers" will lend a shoulder and insure, no matter what happens. In the 8th company they say that this is what gives rise to the notorious army friendship, which the guys from the "citizen" cannot even dream of, which is why those who served in the unit come to visit as soon as possible.

The rain does not wet the commando ...

... the rain invigorates the commando. With these words, the guys from the 3rd separate brigade special purpose internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are nominated for combat training in any weather. And with the weather, as you know, in our climatic conditions most of the time no luck.

If in the first half of the day the sun was shining during the tactical training and the snow was actively melting, then the afternoon combat training brought a lot of surprises: at times the rain poured so hard that there was no dry place left on the soldiers at the end of the training. But this, according to the military personnel, only tempers. In such conditions, it will not work for a long time to be a sissy.

Combined-arms tactics classes not only improve the skills of soldiers in handling weapons, but also help to rally the team, develop team spirit and give platoon commanders the opportunity to get practice in managing people. An armored personnel carrier is not a comfortable premium car. It is quite crowded in order to open the doors, you need to make a lot of effort. Moreover, you need to get out of the armored personnel carrier and return on the move quickly, because in real combat situations, even a second of delay can cost a life. In such conditions, it is almost impossible to work without support and mutual assistance, this is how the team is best tempered.

In addition, such activities develop thinking and train the speed of decision-making. The company commander sets tasks, and the servicemen not only have to choose how to solve them, but also meet the allotted time. “They don’t know what object I will tell them to block, so they improvise as it turns out, as the terrain allows,” the company commander comments on what is happening.

"We are taught to be one for all and all for one."

Meanwhile, three armored personnel carriers with representatives of three platoons are maneuvering on the ground. Downpour permeates every millimeter of the mold cold water, but this does not spoil the mood of the guys, on the contrary, difficult weather conditions only spur them on to quickly and efficiently complete the task received by the lisping radio from the commander. All of them are trying hard, you can feel the spirit of healthy competition. This is how it should be: without the desire to become better, one cannot achieve heights in the service.

soldier says

After spending the whole day with the soldiers, you will not only feel the atmosphere of the company, but also have time to listen and hear what those who most often become victims of hazing say. Each soldier has his own point of view on the process of serving, but they all agree on one thing: they are very lucky to serve here with these colleagues.

Private Artem Muzychenko from the junior draft, he is 19 years old, has been serving for the fifth month. He came from the Gomel region, even before the medical examination, he knew that he wanted to serve here. “The first impression of the service was very good: the team was good, the atmosphere of support and mutual assistance. After two or three weeks, I felt as if I had been serving here for more than a year. The older servicemen constantly helped, explained what was incomprehensible,” he shared.

According to Artem, you need to understand the way of life of the company, set goals and strive for them, and then everything will be fine. “We are taught to be one for all and all for one. If someone falls behind somewhere, they support the whole team so that this person feels comfortable. The company command encourages you very well if you serve well,” he said.

Senior Sergeant Stanislav Shebutko is 21 years old, he has only 3 weeks left to serve. After the end of military service, he is going to stay in the brigade to serve under the contract. He says this about the beginning of the service: “At first it was difficult. The course of a young soldier and a company are two different things. I want to. And then you get used to it. "

Stanislav notes that everyone in the company supports friendly relations. Sergeants and officers are trying to rally the team so that the soldiers all stand as a wall for each other. “As we say: ‘brother must cover his back.’ There is no difference between soldiers of different conscriptions,” he explained.

His words were confirmed by another senior military officer, 23-year-old Corporal Vadim Voronkov. According to him, the officers of the company, even in the most difficult situations, support and help to rally. “Everything we have achieved – diplomas, cups, awards – is thanks to our commanders. These are the people to whom I am deeply grateful. I am glad that I got into this company with these people,” said Vadim.

He has only 3 weeks left to serve, he is not yet ready to connect his life with the army, and he admits that he becomes sad that he will have to part with his colleagues: “Sometimes you think that you will go to work, you will have children, a family But all this will not replace the time that I spent here. "

This time will truly be remembered. Even if in our case it was only one day.

The day of a soldier really flies by quickly. It contains so many events that there is a feeling of a whole life lived in this short period. Having spent the whole day side by side with the soldiers, it is easy to make sure that they really have no time to be bored.

Many want to serve in the military unit 3214 of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

An important factor in creating healthy atmosphere in the internal troops there is a strict selection of conscripts. Read about how this happens in the material.

What are they, the Special Operations Forces of the Republic of Belarus? Defend Russia looks to its nearest neighbor to find out.

In addition to them, MTRs use the latest Russian assault rifles - for example, . This assault rifle has a buttstock made of shock-resistant glass-filled polyamide, which obviously lightens the weight of the weapon. Its weight is 3.6 kg, rate of fire is 650 rounds per minute, effective range- 50 m.

Now MTRs have the latest sets of special clothing and weapons for different environments fighters habitat. With a flag of the Airborne Forces, an “underwater paratrooper” coquettishly sits in a set of underwater equipment “SKUBA”. It is equipped with a breathing apparatus with a buoyancy compensator, a neoprene wetsuit with gloves and boots, fins and a diving mask. There is a "paratrooper" with a set of diving equipment SLVI-71, allowing you to work at a depth of up to 40 m.

The lyricism of the army names is continued by the set of winter paratroopers' uniforms "Melted Snow".

In fact, the special forces of the Ministry of the Interior began with Almaz. True, then this unit was called "Berkut", and its main purpose was the organization of prison anti-terror. Similar detachments were created in other Soviet republics.
Today it is a rapid response unit. In 1994, the then head of Berkut and the future Minister of Internal Affairs, Vladimir Naumov, took the initiative to rename the special unit to Almaz. On the basis of the department for correctional affairs of the former republics of the USSR, they urgently began to form a prison anti-terror unit. The order was signed on January 2, 1992. Vladimir Naumov, then the commander of a patrol company, was appointed the first commander of the unit.
The main tasks to be solved at that time were:
- release of hostages;
- detention of armed criminals;
- elimination of disturbances in places of deprivation of liberty.
The forces of the then still small special forces carried out a number of operations to search for and detain dangerous criminals who had escaped from the pre-trial detention centers in Minsk and Brest. The hostages captured by recidivists in the penal colonies of Orsha and Minsk were released, and a mass escape from the colony in Shklov was prevented.
As the nature of crime changed, so did the unit. During this time, there were many different criminal gangs. They started talking about the mafia, thieves' authorities, about the division of territories and spheres of influence. Not limited to the walls of the colonies and Belarusian terrorism. More extensive use of special forces was required. The question of reorganization arose. A review of all special forces units was held, and the best was chosen - Almaz.
Since the autumn of 1994, the unit has been transformed into a special unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Belarus with subordination personally to the minister. The fighters are responsible for carrying out the most difficult tasks: the elimination of terrorist attacks, the release of hostages, the detention of various criminal armed groups.
The history of the name of the special unit is unique - in many countries such formations are still called "Berkut" or "Falcon", and Belarusians have chosen a different path. The new name was not chosen by chance - the diamond symbolizes hardness, purity, nobility. In a memo for fighters, their commander once wrote: "Always remember that a special forces officer must be clean and hard as a diamond."
Over the years of its existence, the SPBT "Almaz" has accumulated vast practical experience, suppressed terrorist attacks and released about 100 hostages, together with the operational units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, more than five and a half thousand special operations have been carried out to search for and suppress the activities of organized criminal groups and organizations. One of the most resonant events of Almaz was the detention in Minsk of suspects in the murder of Russian journalist Paul Khlebnikov.

Tasks
The main tasks are:
- prevention of terrorist acts;
- detection and neutralization of explosive devices;
- carrying out special measures to detect and detain dangerous armed criminals, to seize counterfeit banknotes, narcotic, chemical and radioactive substances and ammunition;
- ensuring the physical security of the operational staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
- conducting search and reconnaissance activities;
- protection of judges and persons of the controlling composition of the republic, high officials states and foreign delegations.
The combat readiness of the unit is evidenced by the following fact: in case of an alarm, the "Almaz" should arrive at the base within 5-7 minutes. And within 20 minutes, reconnaissance and a combat group are sent to the scene anywhere in the country. After another 20 minutes, the second group leaves.
Basically, officers from similar units of the Ministry of Defense, police special forces, security services of the head of state come to Almaz, border troops. As a rule, these are people who have served at least five years and have already participated in special operations. Serve in "Almaz" and women - negotiators and snipers.
The armament corresponds to the armament of other special forces of Belarus.

The Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus (SSO Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus) is the youngest branch of the armed forces. On August 1, 2007, the command of the SOF of the Armed Forces was created. The MTR command reports directly to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus.

Formations and military units of special operations forces are located in constant readiness to timely application both in peacetime and in war time. They can perform tasks independently or in cooperation with formations and military units of the Armed Forces, internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Belarus and internal affairs bodies, the State Border Committee of the Republic of Belarus, newly formed operational detachments of the State Security Committee of the Republic of Belarus.
