Airborne preparations Airborne combat training. Universal Soldier Physical training of the paratrooper

Surely everyone who plays sports at least a little and tries to keep themselves in good physical shape is interested in the standards that contract military personnel are required to pass. Next we present to your attention mandatory standards physical training in the army, airborne forces and special forces.

CONTRACTORS

Contract service can be divided into several categories: by age groups and by gender. Yes, yes, women also serve under contract. By age, standards are divided into two categories: up to 30 years and over 30 for men, up to 25 years and over 25 for women. You must sign your first contract between the ages of 18 and 40. Physical training standards consist of three levels: strength training, speed data and your level of endurance. Therefore, it includes such types as push-ups, pull-ups, running and skiing. Let's look at all this in more detail.

Men under 30 years old:

Pull-ups on the bar: 10 times
- push-ups: 45 times
- 60 meter run: 9.8 seconds
- 100 meter run: 15.1 s.

Airborne troops have always been considered the elite Russian army, so their physical training standards are especially interesting. Paratroopers are extremely required high level endurance. So, let's look and analyze:

Pull-ups on the bar: 13 times
- 100 meter run: 14.1 seconds
- 3 km run: 12.3 minutes

- special hand-to-hand combat complex: assessed by a point

In addition to this, there are several strength training sessions and a series of obstacle course tests.

SPECIAL SERVICES: SPECIAL PURPOSE UNITS “VYMPEL”, ​​“ALFA”, FSO SPECIAL FORCES

And now, perhaps, the most delicious thing. To meet these requirements, you will have to work hard in the gym.

Pull-ups on the bar: 25 times
- push-ups: 90 times
- bench press: 10 times (weight not less than your own, but not more than 100 kg)
- press lying on your back: 100 times
- shuttle run 10x10 meters: 25 seconds
- 100 meters run: 12.7 seconds
- 3 km cross: 11 minutes
- jumping up with changing legs: 90 times

This entire list is also complemented by demonstrations of punching and kicking techniques and participation in various sparring fights. And a standard exercise, which we even decided to separate from all the others - KSU (complex strength exercise). This includes: 10 push-ups from the floor, 10 presses lying on your back, 10 times crouching - lying down, 10 times jumping up from a crouching position. And this complex must be performed 8 times in a row without a break!
As we can see, everyone’s loads are different. For contract service, the standards are not so strict, and most sports people they will be completed without any problems. Then, of course, everything is not so simple - for the level of the Airborne Forces and special services you need to be a real athlete.

In the Armed Forces Russian Federation are functioning different kinds troops, complex use skills and abilities which allow you to gain an advantage when performing combat missions, as well as save the Fatherland from a military offensive. One of the main branches is the division airborne troops who participate in combat operations, both on land and from the air. The unit is one of the most prestigious, but getting into the ranks of soldiers is not so easy.

Introduction to the topic

The practice of air attacks has been known for a long time since the beginning of the 20th century. It was then that the first detachments were formed, attacking the enemy from the rear, which were sent to the operation site by helicopter. Then the soldiers parachuted in and began to carry out the received order.

Experience has shown a high rate of successful completion of tasks with minimal costs time and human resources, therefore, over the years, such detachments began to appear on the territory of all subjects of the Federation.

Later, it was decided to form a detachment of troops that Peaceful time will undergo intensive training, and in the military will be involved in combat missions. Thus, modern Russian airborne troops were formed.

Goals and objectives of the airborne troops

Airborne forces are highly mobile units whose activities are aimed at capturing the enemy, however, the work of units is also carried out in peacetime.

Table No. 1 “Purpose of the Russian Airborne Forces”

Also, in peacetime, when there is a threat of military invasion from outside, these types of troops perform the following functions:

• strengthening the country's borders;
• organizing combat readiness in areas awaiting attack;
• strengthening the protection of strategic facilities;
• countering terrorism;
• participation in operations jointly with other units.

Benefits of the service

Conscription and contract service in the Airborne Forces is one of the most attractive places for employment of future military personnel. This is due to many factors, namely:

• prestige;
• the right to receive additional benefits and benefits;
• high profit payment;
• possibility of early retirement.

We must not forget that such work is far from just sitting at a computer, so thrills are guaranteed.

How to get into service in the Airborne Forces

Contract work in detachments is possible only after preliminary completion of a special military training, as well as if all the criteria for the vacancy are met. As for conscript service for conscription into the Airborne Forces, the distribution procedure here will be slightly different.

Attention! Questions regarding the place of service are decided by the military registration and enlistment office commission, so you need to express your desire to be sent to the Airborne Forces there.

During preliminary registration with the military commissariat, information is recorded on whether the young man wishes to connect his life with military service. In the future, the answer to this question will affect the direction of conscription.

After passing the medical examination, an interview is scheduled with the conscript, where the working group of the military registration and enlistment office asks about the preferred place of work. It is important to clearly formulate your desire to go to the Airborne Forces, arguing for your dream of continuing to serve under a contract in the unit.

Preparation for service in the Airborne Forces

Even in peacetime, airborne troops work until they sweat. This is especially true for physical training, since endurance and speed are the main weapons of a serviceman. A young man who wants to work in this field must prepare for employment in advance. In particular, attention should be paid to the following aspects of preparation:

• getting an education ( intellectual abilities no less important than physical strength);
• playing sports (helps develop endurance);
• visiting hand-to-hand combat clubs (the style being studied does not matter and it is better if there are rewards for winning competitions).

We must not forget about moral aspects. Psychologically, paratroopers are taught to be resilient and confident in their abilities, so the slightest manifestation of weakness in the face of the demands of the service is fraught with dismissal.

Selection criteria for recruits

Federal Law "On military duty And military service» a list of requirements and standards for contract workers is recorded, the observance of which is mandatory during employment.

Table No. 2 “Requirements for candidates”

Where do paratroopers serve?

On this moment throughout Russia there are several military formations, training specialists for service in the Airborne Forces. In particular, they train the following categories of specialists:

• paratroopers (operate by parachute delivery to the operation site);
• attack aircraft (quick reaction units, their task is to capture the enemy);
• mountain detachments (perform operations in mountainous areas).

Table No. 3 “Location of military formations where military personnel of this category are trained”

Nowadays, this is an exclusive list of places where military personnel in these areas can be trained. Next year it is planned to form another regiment.

Training in the Airborne Forces

There are not so many men left in Russia now who are ready to serve in the army. Only a few are willing to repay their debt to their homeland, but there are still such brave guys. Without a doubt, they prepare for service in advance and, before being distributed into units, they have a rough idea of ​​where they want to go. Some people want to join the border troops, some want to join the motorized rifle troops, and many want to join the elite airborne troops.

After all, it is there that the physical training of the Airborne Forces is a priority. Every soldier serving in airborne units, will always be in excellent shape by the end of the service, which will be the envy of many. Airborne Forces training itself consists of a complex of various activities that are repeated cyclically throughout the entire period of military service. If you want to get in excellent physical shape, as well as undergo an excellent airborne combat training course, then you simply need to go serve in the airborne troops. Yes, it won’t be easy and simple for you there, but all your work will not be in vain, but will benefit your body.

Advice on physical preparation for service in the Airborne Forces

What can you advise a conscript who is going to serve in the airborne troops? special purpose? Of course, this is a very interesting question, because it is better to come to the army unit at least a little prepared than completely unprepared. Preparing for airborne service First of all, it should include training the future soldier in hand-to-hand combat skills, coordination of movements, and endurance. Of course, the ability to perform simple everyday tasks will not be superfluous - no one has yet canceled hemming.

Before serving in the army, it would be a good idea to take care of your physical fitness, as well as start living in compliance with the regime... Waking up at 6 in the morning and going for a run is one of the main tasks of the future paratrooper. The airborne training program in the unit is very difficult and everything described above will help you get into the training rhythm easier. Probably the most important thing is that the young fighter is prepared psychologically and does not break down when difficulties arise. It is morally necessary to be prepared for the fact that at first it will be difficult, but through work and effort the young soldier will become a real paratrooper.

The training of airborne forces is well shown on the Internet in various videos. A huge number of programs will make you think about your choice. Of course, ideally, review all thematic collections, but you can at least master one of them. The skills acquired thanks to these videos will also help you transfer easier military service in airborne units.

Much attention is paid to shooting. For a paratrooper, this is a very important aspect. In any branch of the military you must be able to shoot confidently and accurately. This ideally requires a lot of practice. A conscript will be able to get maximum practice in the airborne forces. The Airborne Forces training program is set up so that every employee can train and shoot at a good level.

Combat training Airborne Forces is the most important aspect in the training of a young soldier. As you know, since 2013, Russia has adopted a law to increase training on this point. Most classes will now be conducted at night, which is much more difficult than training during the day. The skills acquired during combat training will be useful to any soldier during service. Outside the part. And all these skills will no doubt come in handy in everyday life after the army. A variety of complexes for soldiers, developed over the years, will help any soldier acquire indispensable skills to protect civilians from a potential enemy.

Training methods in the USSR Airborne Forces

It is a well-known fact that paratroopers who served in Soviet army are considered more prepared than their successors. At least the 90s and “zero” years are not considered the standard of military service in all branches of the military. Fortunately, the situation is changing now and there is a tendency to return to the role of combat training for conscripts and, even more so, contract soldiers.

The training of airborne forces in the USSR occupied a very important place. In those troubled times, when at any moment the enemy could invade the territory of the union, every paratrooper was obliged to be trained to the highest level. And representatives of the airborne troops were trained exactly like this. Each of them, without hesitation, would give his life for his homeland, for the country, for the people he loved. Moral preparation, like physical one, was also at the same level in those years. IN modern years in Russia and the CIS countries the best techniques from that airborne training program have been adopted. Old practices work without a doubt. Why look for something new if the methods that have been proven over the years work flawlessly. There is no doubt that it never hurts to introduce a bit of innovation into the learning process, but the main thing here is not to overdo it and remember your history.

Generations that won different wars pass on their experience in units even now. A real paratrooper will respect what they have achieved. We hope that wars like World War II will never happen again on our soil, and throughout the world as well.

Voentorg “Voenpro” wholeheartedly wishes future paratroopers good service and to become our irreplaceable shield, as our grandfathers and great-grandfathers were in former times. Serve your Motherland so that you are not ashamed, and we will pray for you and your health.

"Remember, the main technique of hand-to-hand combat: First, throw a grenade at the enemy..." Hand-to-hand instructor, head of physical training RDP

Perhaps the main secret of the Airborne Forces hand-to-hand combat style is that... there were no “secrets”! There are no and never have been any terrible special strikes at super-secret points, no “Touches of Deferred Death” or other super-exotics... So, are the paratroopers and special forces lying when they claim that the “Beret” can cope in a fight with several opponents? -No! They don't lie! It will do it and it will be very EFFECTIVE! But, if you film this fight and then show it at normal speed, then 9/10 of the audience will simply not understand anything about what is happening, and half will be disappointed and perplexed: why do they fall so easily? What's the matter?

I would like to clarify right away that I am not talking here about the hand-to-hand combat of the “Spetsura”, especially officer units such as “Vympel”, “Alpha” and “Cascade”, especially those designed for the forceful detention of living languages ​​or criminals! - it has its own specifics and without knowing I will not even speak! And about the hand-to-hand combat training of ordinary airborne forces (Uncle Vasya’s troops). Once in one book I came across the following reasoning, I quote in a free paraphrase: “No matter how cynical it sounds, everything has its price, and a soldier’s life, especially.” This price - price training a new soldier to replace one who is out of action. After all, no matter how skillful a fighter is, this will not save him from either a crossbow bolt or, what’s more offensive, from bloody diarrhea”... Rough, but fair...

I don’t want to say anything bad about eastern martial arts schools, but... Prepare in six months to a year real person using training methods of Karate, Taekwondo, Tai Chi Chuan and so on is impossible! In six months, at best, he will learn two or three basic stances, and the ability to breathe more or less correctly in a stance, and not in battle! In real hand-to-hand combat, such a fighter poses a danger to only one person - himself! Only after five to seven years of daily painstaking hours of training will he begin to understand that he has only just gotten closer to mastering the basics! You understand, preparing SOLDIERS in this way is pointless! There simply aren’t these five to seven years to train even a semi-finished fighter!

As a person who participated (and SURVIVED!) after three real hand-to-hand combat battles, let me note! that the Airborne Forces hand-to-hand combat school and training system still exist! AND IT IS EFFECTIVE! What are the basic principles of fighter training? We must also take into account that in addition to Fizukha, there is also daily service! Shooting training, training in a combat specialty, combat (for that matter), outfits and guards, and so on, and so on! But the system has proven its effectiveness, so what does it consist of, this system of training a hand-to-hand paratrooper? I'll try to answer...

The entire system of hand-to-hand combat training of the Airborne Forces is based on three pillars, each component is important; and the question makes no sense - which! This Psychological preparation, Physical training and a set of basic hand-to-hand combat techniques. Let's look at them one by one. So, psychological preparation. Includes bringing to the subconscious level, to conditioned reflex: fight is NOT a competition! It is impossible to WIN OR LOSE! In battle you can either WIN or die! there is no third option, as they say... No one will shake your hand before a fight or make a ritual bow. They will try to kill you right away, and by all means available at the moment! The preparation was carried out quite simply, but effectively, no one conducted conversations or psychological tests with us - they simply beat us! Not to defeat, but in such a way that it didn’t seem like enough! Let me emphasize! They didn't BEAT, they beat! Feel the difference! You could get a slap or be caught in a chokehold at any moment: while talking with an officer, standing on the orderly’s nightstand, just passing through the unit. Avoiding a blow or grab has been improved! The answer is even more so! Although, to be fair, it’s worth saying that rarely anyone has succeeded! They say that such a system was introduced into the practice of the Airborne Forces by their commander, the legendary V.F. Margelov - I don’t know, but if this is so, then I bow to him for it! THIS training system saved many lives in real wars and me too... I still, although more than thirty years have passed, simply physically cannot go around the corner of the building close to it, I go around in three or four steps... Constant pressure, in which, by the way, there was nothing personal, because the grandfather received the same as the young man, he developed the skill of constant vigilance, the ability to not relax even in sleep, some kind of sixth sense of danger...

Physical training in the Airborne Forces does not require any special comments. Endurance training - running different conditions, goose-stepping, alternating accelerations, ragged rhythm... strength training - pull-ups, push-ups different types, squats, jumping...abs pumping again different ways. All this - “I can’t help it” until it’s completely dark in my eyes... There’s still enough groundwork, although the DMB-77... As for the basic hand-to-hand techniques, here we need to decipher... Not for airborne forces and special forces - they’re all they know it too! For fans of films like Rimbaud... This is training in BASIC techniques, not "MOVEMENTS", and quite individual... Some people prefer throwing, some prefer striking, some chokeholds or techniques for breaking ligaments and fractures joints - closer. The basics were given to everyone, then the development of stereotypes, bringing the movement to the level of a knee-jerk reflex - in battle there is no time to think, the body reacts on its own, the thought does not have time! The blows were practiced on various kinds of simulators such as makiwara and punching bag, throws were done with each other, VERY CAREFULLY AND NOT AT FULL POWER, also applied to various types of painful and suffocating techniques. Moreover, after mastering the basic movements, everyone trained themselves! No combat sparring in real life, with one exception, about which below... After all, an attempt to carry out, for example, in sparring conditions, an elbow strike to the Adam's apple for one of the fighters may well be the last... And I would also note, no BALLET in the spirit of Van -Lady and Chuck Norris! Legs work up to the knee, not higher! The front part of the lower leg and ankle, the inner surface of the lower leg. Knee strike to the crotch and inside hips. The elbow is mainly used to finish off an opponent who has already lost his orientation. Everything is simple and ineffective, ugly... BUT EFFECTIVE!

Now about the exception: About once every two weeks they put a boxing helmet on you, and they let you out to kill four or five people, old-timers or officers. Not right away, one by one. I had to hold out for five minutes... The first time, as far as I remember, no one succeeded... The first time I went to rest at the tenth second, having missed a powerful straight shot to the head... In a real fight, the result would have been my death, because I stood up I only ten minutes later... On the third attempt I received gratitude in the order for the unit, because I managed to “put in the ring” the deputy commander of the regiment. The captain, by the way, was not offended by me, and was the first to come to his senses and shook my hand. At the same time, he said: “I stopped classes... I need to work”... We didn’t kill rats with our bare hands... but everything is the same, the readiness to fight, at any second of the day or night, not for life or death, was absorbed into the flesh and blood, into the bone marrow... That, in general, is all the “Terrible Military Secrets” that I am about to tell you...
