We continue to acquaint you with the heroes of the special operation “Z” – participants in the hostilities in the Donbass. Soldiers, sergeants, corporals, and officers who demonstrated their professional experience, character, and completed combat missions. His determination, assertiveness and combat experience in the Ministry of Defense of Russia, in the police units of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, receive the highest marks.
Our heroes thwarted the attacks and prevented the counter-offensive of the nationalists, for which they received state awards. But they do not serve for the sake of praise. The military is sure that the enemy has no chance of success, because Donbass and Russia are fighting for a just cause.
“The true rule of military art is to directly attack the enemy from the most sensitive side for him, and not to converge, timidly making his way along indirect paths, through which the attack itself becomes polysyllabic, while the matter can only be decided for a direct and daring offensive,” said Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov, who never lost a single battle. And he taught the warriors: “Proper target shooting is of great importance – it multiplies the death of the enemy and avoids unnecessary waste of cartridges in action!”
UNDER FIRE DELIVERY AMMUNITION TO THE FRONT LINE

“During a special military operation, Warrant Officer Alexander Fomin provided ammunition to rocket artillery units. During the next march, the materiel convoy, in which Alexander’s car was moving, came under artillery and mortar fire from the enemy, who sought to disrupt the supply of Russian units on the front line. In conditions of incessant fire, non-commissioned officer Alexander Fomin, skillfully orienting himself in the situation, realized that a shell hitting a car with ammunition would cause a powerful explosion capable of destroying a large number of manpower and equipment of the Russian division. of howitzers, carried out fire-fighting maneuvers and took the car out of the enemy mortar fire to a safe place.

Senior Lieutenant of the Guard Vladislav Kondaleev
“Senior Guard Lieutenant Vladislav Kondaleev went on a combat mission to defend a settlement of strategic importance. Commanding the commanded battery of howitzer self-propelled artillery battalion, Vladislav provided artillery support to the defending Russian motorized rifle units and destroyed enemy weapons, weapons and military equipment. The Ukrainian militants, seeking to dislodge the Russian military from the occupied line, attempted to attack the Russian motorized rifle positions with infantry forces reinforced with tanks and armored vehicles, as well as inflicting artillery strikes. The crews of the Russian UAVs timely detected the advance of the enemy’s armored vehicles and manpower and transmitted the coordinates of the area to the command post. The gunners of the Kondaleev battery, having received the coordinates of the enemy’s targets, made mathematical calculations, set corrections for weather conditions and completed the combat mission, attacking from closed firing positions with minimal ammunition consumption. Accurate fire from Kondaleev’s howitzer self-propelled artillery battery hit three foreign-made armored fighting vehicles and also destroyed more than twenty Ukrainian militants. Control over the defeat of targets and adjustment of fire was carried out by scouts using UAVs. Thanks to the competent and professional work of Guards Senior Lieutenant Vladislav Kondaleev, the timely and skillful actions of his battery personnel, the artillerymen managed to thwart the enemy’s attack, inflict significant damage on him and hold their positions.
