Air- landing troops perform a huge range of combat missions. And the airborne jumps are one of the main trump cards used by the paratroopers. For this purpose, specially trained aircraft and helicopters are used. In the equipment of the Airborne Forces there is a large number of modern effective weapons, special equipment, military equipment, which make it possible to cope with the tasks assigned to them with high efficiency.

The task of the airborne troops is to capture strategic industrial facilities, administrative and political centers, areas of concentration of forces potential adversary, capture and retention of infrastructure nodes, mountain passes, crossings, communication lines; destruction of funds mass destruction, power plants, runways and airfields, other key facilities; disruption of the enemy's work in the deep and near rear and coordination of his forces, disruption of the movement of enemy reserves.

One of the main tasks of the Airborne Forces associated with the implementation of operational-tactical landing on a special important directions potential local conflicts.

The fulfillment of such a task is impossible without parachute jumps of the Airborne Forces. In the Airborne Forces, personnel are especially scrupulously trained. Therefore, paratroopers are carefully acquainted with the theoretical foundation of parachute jumps, landing techniques, modern systems parachute-reactive and parachute type, landing containers, platforms and systems, with the help of which the installation and landing of weapons and military equipment is carried out. Special attention is given to the study of actual military transport aviation.

Airborne jumps at the stage of the appearance and development of the armed forces

The first jump in the Airborne Forces took place in the thirties of the last century. It was then that a new type of troops appeared in the Red Army - the Airborne Troops. The first paratroopers had to perform a completely accessible task - to land in a given area where they were delivered aviation technology. At first, paratroopers were transported with parachutes on any aircraft in service: strategic heavy bombers TB-1 or training U-2, which were not best solution for young kind troops. The choice of aircraft depended on the number of paratroopers transported.

It turned out to be more difficult to solve the issue of transporting cars, armored vehicles or guns. We decided to opt for the TB-1 bomber. For creating specialized systems, with the help of which they were supposed to successfully land the equipment, the Design Bureau was created. Among the very first types of weapons adapted for air transportation and landing should be called a 76-mm mountain gun, invented in 1909, chosen because of its suitable weight and dimensions. The crew of the gun was transported along with the gun and had the ability to parachute from an aircraft, slightly reducing the bomber's flight performance. Then the first parachute jump in the Airborne Forces took place, and since then the paratroopers have come a long way.

Airborne parachute jumps in the modern army of Russia

Fast forward to modern life warriors Airborne Troops. In 2012, the servicemen of this type of troops, who are on military service, more than 11 thousand parachute jumps were performed in just one week! Including airborne jumps from Ila-76 amounted to more than four hundred. In our time, jumps during long daylight hours are performed at an intensity of two parachute jumps per minute, and even more often.

There was a message about how many jumps are made in the Airborne Forces, for example, in a unit stationed in Ivanovo. As it turned out, 2800 jumps per division. In the mountain, airborne assault unit, located in Novorossiysk, and the airborne division of Tula, paratroopers make 2000 jumps each. The cadets of the Ryazan School manage to make more than one and a half thousand jumps within one week.

Airborne jumps were more regular in Soviet army. Say, in the 80s, an ordinary paratrooper made about 30 airborne jumps from an Il-76 for military service. In the 90s, their number sharply decreased, but today one can again observe a gradual increase in the role of combat training of paratroopers, which means an increase in the number of airborne parachute jumps for cadets and conscripts.

Training airborne recruits in the art of landing

Representatives make many jumps young replenishment arriving in the Airborne Forces. Young soldiers have to do a lot of airborne training. They are awarded the proud title of paratroopers after they make the first parachute jumps.

In addition, Ryazan constantly trains and trains technicians specializing in parachute devices. Seminars for the retraining of commanders of paratrooper units are also held there. They study the issues of landing and training military equipment. IN summer period, which has favorable weather conditions, in the plans Russian paratroopers performing more than 35 thousand airborne parachute jumps.

It is categorically impossible to force people who do not know how to control themselves in the sky to make parachute jumps. To prevent a random fall, the D-5 and D-6 parachutes are equipped with a stabilizing exhaust dome. Due to the presence of the dome, the parachutist cannot be carried away into a random fall. To an inexperienced person, it seems that the earth is everywhere from him. The function of the stabilizing dome is that the lines do not interfere with the skydiver to go into the sky. The dome comes out first, after which the PPK-u device is activated within five seconds, opening the satchel. The knapsack is equipped with a two-cone lock, which can be opened either with a ring or with a device. The parachutist can pull the ring without waiting for the expiration of five seconds of free fall. With the help of a stabilizing parachute, the canopy is completely pulled out of the parachute bag.

Jumping Airborne Forces with IL-76

Speaking about the training of paratroopers, one cannot fail to mention the role of military transport aviation. Airborne jumps from IL-76 can be called the most effective today. The main military transport aircraft Il-76 easily copes with the following tasks:

• parachute landing of l / s units;
• parachute landing of regular military equipment and cargo;
• landing landing l / s parts of the Airborne Forces;
• landing landing of military equipment and cargoes of the established dimensions;
• transportation and evacuation of the wounded to the rear.

Each of the above options provides for the use of specialized equipment.

When landing from the IL-76, they use:

• two streams into the side doors, to minimize the possibility of convergence of paratroopers in the air;
• three streams, one of which goes to the ramp, and the other two - to the side doors;
• four streams - two into the ramp and side doors (in the presence of combat conditions).

During the landing of personnel, the speed of the aircraft reaches 300 km / h. Note the tightness of the cargo compartment of the IL-76. If necessary, make long-distance flights to high altitude the pressure in the aircraft cabin is equal to the pressure at an altitude of 2.5 km. Airborne jumps from IL-76 have been considered one of the safest and most effective types landing. In emergency cases, all seats are equipped with oxygen masks, so all paratroopers have the opportunity to receive oxygen nutrition individually.

Pre-jump training in the Airborne Forces

Before you prepare a real paratrooper, you need to go through a serious combat training. Pre-jump training in the Airborne Forces is set at the very modern level. Not a single paratrooper is allowed to actually jump with a parachute without thorough special training.

IL-76 is an aircraft that fully corresponds to the tasks that are set before the paratroopers. In the cabin of the aircraft, all the nuances are provided, thanks to which the safety of skydiving is achieved. Traffic lights are installed at all exits from the aircraft. There are traffic lights on both sides of the ramp. The green light lights up with the inscription "Go", yellow - with the command "Get ready", red - with the command "Hang up". When the yellow traffic light is turned on, a short siren is turned on simultaneously, and when the green traffic light is turned on, a long roaring siren is turned on. She continues to roar until there is not a single paratrooper left on the plane.

Every paratrooper who performed parachute jumps in the Airborne Forces will never be able to forget this siren. During a long-haul flight, the engine hums smoothly and calmly, which encourages sleep, but because of the sound of a siren, nothing remains of sleep. After the command "Ready" and a short warning siren, each paratrooper jumps, waiting for the command to jump into the sky.

Photo and video of airborne jumps

Photos of airborne jumps are particularly spectacular. You can admire the parachutists flying in the sky, the second suspended deck of the Il-76MD transport, the cargo compartment of the Il-76. Due to the increased capacity, the cargo compartment of the Il-76 transport can accommodate three BMD-1s, and can parachute them by parachute or landing method.

Among the capabilities of the aircraft is the landing of four cargoes weighing 10 tons each, or two cargoes weighing 21 tons each. The IL-76MD is produced in a two-deck version and is capable of carrying up to 225 fighters, and not more than 145 fighters, as in a single-deck version.

Watching the landing of equipment from the Il-76 aircraft is always delightful. Jumping Airborne Forces video, thanks to the Internet today everyone can watch. An interesting fact is the establishment of high-altitude world records by Soviet paratroopers. These jumps of our paratroopers were made in 1975, and then in 1977. Girls jumped with parachutes from an Il-76 aircraft flying at an altitude of over fifteen thousand meters. And no one has managed to break the records set then.

Video airborne jumping with a parachute can convey the external impression of this unique and exciting process. And the skydivers themselves consider this the most exciting moments of their lives. Each jump is different from the previous one. Especially a lot of emotions delivers the first jump.

To jump with a parachute D-5 requires an altitude of 800 to 1000 meters. With a minimum throw height of 600 meters. The period from the moment you get off the plane to the moment when the parachute should open is 200 meters. The parachutist has to fly under the dome for about six hundred meters.

Today, instead of the parachutes of the old systems, they use the D-10 landing parachute, with a dome area of ​​​​100 square meters, improved parameters and a shape resembling a squash. The D-12, Listik, recognized as excellent parachute system which has no analogues in the world.

Each paratrooper is obliged to make parachute jumps - this is an axiom. There are no differences, whether it is the commander of the Airborne Forces or the trumpeter of the regimental band, for which special bags are provided for musical instruments during landing. And a blue beret and a vest with blue stripes are issued to a recruit only after making the first three parachute jumps. The title of a paratrooper must be earned by testing the sky - if you fill the dome with air, then you are yours.

Everyone in the draft office is brave - I want to serve in the Airborne Forces, but when it comes to landing from an airplane with a parachute, even the big ones start to openly drift before taking that very step overboard. Training on the ground, where the same countdown is practiced on simulators: “501, 502, 503, the ring is a dome!” At an altitude of 800 meters, they become a real test of courage. Someone frankly drifts, but in the landing troops, as in the army, there is a rule: "If you can't, we'll teach you, if you don't want to, we'll force you."

- Refuseniks at the first jump are one person out of ten, this is a normal sense of self-preservation in young guys, - says reserve officer, master of sports of parachuting Alexander Aprelsky. - And the task of the issuer, and this, as a rule, is the commander of the VDP ( airborne training), to parachute everyone who is in the plane or helicopter. Refusenik is a problem, you have to land a plane, get a scolding from your superiors for the lack of moral and psychological preparation of a subordinate, transfer a fighter to ground units. It's easier to just push it overboard - the opening device will still work in three seconds and the dome will work to open. Here is such an elk in the doorway of the An-2, resting his feet and hands and yelling in fear, and the landing site is already below and the aircraft commander has already turned on the “howler” to the squad. The method used was tough, but simple. A kick from behind between the legs - the parachutist's hands go down, it remains to give a kick in the ass so that the "body" goes into free flight. Later, on the ground, you ask: “Why did you get out? Why didn't you jump?" And he, happy, says that he does not remember anything and, they say, he made the jump himself and is ready even now for the second.

Surely every paratrooper retained in his memory the feeling of the first parachute jump - these are memories for life, abruptly than the first kiss with a classmate. From the personal, too, there is something to remember.

It was back in 1984, when I, a military journalist, arrived at the divisional newspaper of the 106th Tula Airborne Division. After the official presentations, as was the custom then, I was “seconded” to the nearest grocery store. And when he crossed the small parade ground of the division headquarters, he did not pay any attention to the colonel passing ten meters away and did not greet him.

A thin face with a thin thread of a blond mustache, squinted predatory eyes, an impeccably fitting uniform - just a White Guard officer from films about civil war. “Hello,” I almost held out my hand to him, but stopped short at the look in which unusual contempt was read.

Why no signs? Where is the "Guard", where is the sign of the parachutist?

“So I arrived the first day! They didn’t hand over the “Guard”, and I never jumped with a parachute at all, - I squinted at my “rhombus”, which hung lonely on my chest.

“Maybe you, Comrade Lieutenant, also have white socks?”

Socks and the truth, for the sake of the then fashion, were not statutory, namely white color, which I demonstrated to a strict officer.

"Chief of intelligence to me!" growled the colonel.

Less than a minute later, the captain ran to the colonel. Puzankov- Deputy head of the intelligence department.

“Here it is,” the colonel grunted without looking at me, “to throw it out with a parachute tomorrow. Hand over the "Guard" and the "first-timer".

Drenched in contempt, I no longer existed for him, he did not even give me a dressing, which only a real paratrooper deserved.

The next day, the commander of the divisional reconnaissance company of the guard, captain Sasha Khabarov in accordance with the order "threw" me out of the plane. I was handed signs and initiated into the paratroopers, having beaten off a soft spot, as it should be, with a "reserve" - ​​a reserve parachute. After that I fell in love with open sky and made more than 150 jumps.

And the stern colonel is the deputy division commander Alexander Chindarov, by the time we met, he had great authority in the army: it was not easy to get the Order of the Red Star even in Afghanistan. Later, in 1994, as deputy commander of the Airborne Forces, Lieutenant General Chindarov refused to storm Grozny, saying that he needed two weeks to prepare: he would not throw untrained soldiers into battle. For this, he was fired from the army by the then Minister of Defense Pavel Grachev.

Some time later, talking to Chindarov on the phone, I asked if he remembered me. Alexander Alekseevich hesitated, saying that a lot of you, lieutenants, have passed through me. "White socks," I suggested. “Oh, of course I remember! You've got me the only one like this in my entire service! - and in his voice there was either the joy of recognition, or regret that he did not give me a full landing program then.

And to the paratrooper’s question, they say, how many times they jumped, each of them will answer: “They jump from the bed in the army, and parachute jumps in the Airborne Forces!”

Skydiving is popular in modern world. Some people are professionally involved in this sport, for others, skydiving is a way to tickle your nerves and get a dose of adrenaline. Has anyone wondered how many lines parachutes have?

What is a parachute?

The parachute is an ingenious and simple invention of an engineer from St. Petersburg Kotelnikov Gleb Evgenievich. He was the first to create a backpack device, received a patent for his invention in 1912.

A parachute is a hemisphere constructed of fabric, to which a load or suspension system. It is designed to slow down and mitigate falls from a height. It is used for the safe landing of a person or cargo, has several varieties.

How many lines do parachutes have?

This is of course very interest Ask. There are several types of parachutes, all of them with different amount sling. There is a main parachute and a spare, landing, army and cargo. There are basic and additional slings, all of them are made of high-quality durable fiber, withstand a load (each) up to two hundred kilograms. To answer the question of how many lines parachutes have, you need to consider each instance separately.

army parachute

The armed forces have been using parachutes of the same series for many years. From the sixties to the present day, these are D-5 and D-6 parachutes. They differ in size, weight and number of lines.

How many lines does a D-5 army parachute have? There are twenty-eight of them, nine meters each. The parachute itself has the shape of a dome, it is not possible to control it. Land with him how and where you're lucky. This is the only, but serious minus of this series.

Following released parachute D-6. It has thirty lines. Twenty-eight are normal, and two are for dome control. They are located in the side sections of the parachute. If you pull these lines, you can turn and deploy the dome in the desired direction. This is a very useful quality if the landing is not taking place on training ground, but in mountainous conditions, forests or in a place where there are reservoirs.

paratrooper parachute

In order for the paratroopers to feel comfortable during the jump, they are provided with D-10 series parachutes. This is an improved version of the D-6. It has the shape of a patisson, the size of the dome is one hundred square meters! This parachute can be easily controlled even by a novice skydiver. Ease of control depends on how many lines in landing parachute: the more of them, the easier the control.

D-10 has twenty-six main lines: twenty-two four-meter lines and two seven-meter lines attached to loops in the dome slots. There are also twenty-two additional lines located on the outside, their length is three meters, made of a durable cord ShKP-150.

There are also twenty-four additional internal lines. They are attached to additional straps. Two additional ones are attached to the second and fourteenth at once. This is the answer to the question of how many lines in parachute airborne. The D-10 is considered one of the safest parachutes in history.

Why do you need a reserve parachute?

The reserve parachute must without fail be with the skydiver when jumping. It is designed for emergency deployment when the main one does not open or if it is twisted. In such a situation, it doesn’t matter whether the canopy is controlled or not, how many lines the parachutes have - none of the additional ones will help. Of course, an experienced skydiver will try to straighten the main skydiver first, on which he will lose additional time. If it was not possible to straighten, then the reserve parachute will save the situation. It opens quickly and easily.

To learn how to use a spare wheel, you don’t need to go through a lot of training, even a child can handle this task.

How many lines does a reserve parachute have? Usually such parachutes are the same for all major types. These are series 3 and 4. The lines in the spare are arranged in four groups. Each has six lines. We get twenty-four in total. Of course, a reserve parachute is not designed for control, its main task is to quickly open up and save a person's life.

What you need to know when skydiving for the first time?

If you're not in and skydiving is just a dream and not a military duty, then it's worth starting out like a training course. Even if it is decided to jump with an instructor in tandem, training is necessary in order not to harm either yourself or the instructor. He is already so afraid to jump with a person, and even answer for someone's life. Such courses cost from three thousand rubles - it depends on the company providing these services.

Before you go to the club, make sure you get medical certificate: a heart attack during a jump is a serious and dangerous thing. But it can happen, because when you jump into the abyss, so much adrenaline splashes out that it will last for a year. Yes, and the fear of jumping can also lead to sad consequences if the heart is naughty. The pressure should also be the same as when entering the space forces. If there is excess weight, then it is also worth consulting with a doctor whether it is worth jumping or not.

If you are under the age of eighteen, written permission to jump from your parents will come in handy. Do not forget to warn them what you are going to do, without their written consent, the instructor will not let you go to the parachute for a kilometer. People with mental disorders, after recent operations, with diseases of the musculoskeletal system, with respiratory diseases are not allowed to jump.

If your weight is more than one hundred and twenty kilograms, then you will be denied a tandem jump. Weight less than forty-five kilograms is a contraindication for a single jump. Pregnant women are also not allowed. First, calmly take out the child, do not hide your position from the instructor in order to make the jump.

Skydiving is the dream of many. Do not drink alcohol beforehand. It is clear that the joy rolls over, but it is better to celebrate this event after the event, especially since you will not be allowed to jump with the smell of alcohol. And if you decide to drink so that it is not scary, then it is better to refrain from this idea altogether. And good luck to everyone who passed the medical examination!

Airborne troops can rightfully be considered a model of valor and strength. national army. It is difficult to imagine a soldier who dreams of serving in the army, who would not like to try himself as a paratrooper.

Service in this type of troops has several characteristic features, among which are intensive physical exercise is key. Because of this, the current legislation provides for a number of mandatory requirements that a conscript who wants to serve in the ranks of the elite troops must meet.

How to get into the Airborne Forces by conscription, many conscripts ask themselves this question before visiting the medical commission. The answer is simple: it is important to meet all the selection criteria and express your desire to get into this branch of the military before the distribution commission.

What is important to do

According to current legal norms, namely, in accordance with paragraph "D" of the provision "On military service”, recommendations on the distribution of conscript soldiers are provided by the head of the territorial military registration and enlistment office. As a rule, people of military age are asked about his intention regarding military duty even during the initial registration. After passing the medical commission, the conscript goes to a meeting of the draft commission, where a decision will be made on which troops the young man will serve in (in the absence of contraindications for health reasons). It is important here not to be shy and clearly indicate your desire to serve in the Airborne Forces.

It is very important to understand that airborne troops are not just romance, it is a very difficult and dangerous service. This branch of the military is not only considered the elite of the entire Russian army, this is practically the main reserve Supreme Commander, therefore, the requirements for enrollment in this type of troops are much more serious than anywhere else. Good health and impressive stamina are especially important if you want to serve in a special forces unit.

Key selection criteria for recruits

For ease of perception, these requirements for conscript soldiers should be divided into several categories.

Physical health status

For intense loads, which is subjected to an ordinary Airborne Forces, an impeccable state of health is required. There should be no congenital or acquired pathologies. Based on the results of the examination, the medical commission at the military registration and enlistment office must issue a fitness category A1, which must be recorded in the relevant documentation.

In addition, a recruit applying for service in the Airborne Forces should not have any predisposition to chronic inflammatory processes. IN medical card from the polyclinic at the place of permanent registration there should not be evidence of surgical interventions as a result of injuries or the development of internal pathology. On a daily basis, paratroopers are subjected to heavy loads, which include:

• grueling endurance training;
• constant skydiving;
• regular exhaustion of the body as a result of long flights;
• unbalanced nutrition during survival courses and so on.

All this can leave an indelible mark on a weakened body, so you should sensibly assess your health. With a purposeful desire to enlist in the Airborne Forces, it is recommended to start training as early as possible. Indeed, in addition to physical good health and the absence of pathological processes in the body, these are far from all the requirements.

Mental health and emotional stability are also essential requirements for a soldier entering military service as a paratrooper. The conscript will have to pass a series of specialized tests, which cannot be deliberately deceived. They are developed by military psychologists and are quite successfully applied in practice, weeding out unreliable applicants.

Physical Data

There are certain anthropometric parameters that must be met in order to enter the service in the Airborne Forces. The figures are reasonable. Even a slight deviation from the specified requirements for height and weight can be the main reason for refusal.

The growth of a potential paratrooper should not be less than 175 cm and not more than 195 cm. Body weight can vary from 75 to 85 kg.

These indicators are natural in the physiological sense. Deviation from these parameters is an indirect evidence of hidden health problems. In addition, non-compliance with these requirements may impede the fulfillment of the combat mission assigned to elite troops RF.

Growth indicators are also not randomly assigned. low people they will definitely not be able to cope with strength exercises and other delights of the life of blue berets for a long time, and tall people another problem. Long stay in the air, which is the norm for a paratrooper, is associated with intense atmospheric loads, which is reflected in blood pressure. Tall people are more prone to hypotension (syndrome reduced pressure), which can also leave an imprint on the health of a soldier even after serving in the army.

If the height discrepancy is almost impossible to correct, then the situation is different with weight. Dial muscle mass, or vice versa, get rid of excess weight possible for relatively a short time, it is important to take care of yourself in time.

Physical form

A conscript who wishes to serve in the Airborne Forces must meet the requirements for physical training. In the absence of medical and physiological contraindications, the soldier will be asked to pass the following physical standards:

• 20 pushups;
• 20 pull-ups;
• cross 3 km with equipment weighing 15 kg.

This will have to be demonstrated to the draft board, otherwise, in the request for enrollment in the ranks Airborne conscript will be denied. It is important to understand that these requirements may not seem so difficult, but in reality they are far from being so. It will not be possible to fulfill these standards without purposeful and lengthy preparation. In addition, in order to achieve such indicators, it is recommended to refrain from the use of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products.

Education

A potential paratrooper must not only meet all the requirements mentioned earlier. Another important factor is education. The overall average will be sufficient. good advantage there will be a lack of triples in the certificate.

Additional factors

There are several factors that can significantly increase the chances young man for successful enrollment in the ranks of the Airborne Forces. These include.
