We continue to present the heroes of special operation “Z”, participants in military operations in the zone of special military operation. Soldiers, sergeants, corporals and officers who demonstrated their professional experience, character and completed combat missions. His determination, assertiveness and combat experience are highly appreciated by the Russian Ministry of Defense. Our heroes thwarted attacks and prevented nationalist counteroffensives, for which they received state awards. But they are not useful for praising. The military is confident that the enemy has no chance of success, because Donbass and Russia are fighting for a just cause.
“Be patient in military work, do not let yourself be discouraged by failures,” said Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov, who did not lose a single battle. And he taught the warriors: “Speed and surprise replace numbers. Attacks and blows decide the battle!

CONTACT RESTORED AT THE OBSERVATION POINT
Senior Lieutenant Alexey Tarasov
“Senior Lieutenant Alexey Tarasov, during combat operations, carried out the tasks of organizing stable and uninterrupted communications between the command post of the battalion tactical group and the command and observation posts. One day, the enemy attacked the position of the command and observation post where Alexey was located, as a result of which the communications equipment was damaged and damaged. Operating under fire from Ukrainian militants, Tarasov moved to the control room location and immediately began repairing the damage. Having identified damaged blocks and assemblies and quickly replaced them, Tarasov reestablished communications at the checkpoint. The professional skills of Lieutenant Alexey Tarasov, his skillful leadership of the staff and his constant work to strengthen the communications system ensured stable control of units in combat conditions.

Junior Sergeant Maxim Kolpashnikov
“Junior Sergeant Maxim Kolpashnikov, as part of the battalion’s tactical group, conducted reconnaissance of the area and identified enemy targets. While at one of the observation posts, I discovered artillery targets. Ukrainian militants tried to attack the positions of units of the Russian Armed Forces, with artillery support. Maintaining self-control and restraint, showing personal courage, bravery and dedication, Junior Sergeant Maxim Kolpashnikov continued to perform tasks of detecting enemy positions. Thanks to this, I was able to identify and report the coordinates for a retaliatory artillery attack against the enemy.”
