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 formation, located in Novorossiysk, and the airborne division of Tula, paratroopers make 2000 jumps. 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 a lot to do airborne training. They are awarded the proud title of paratroopers after they make the first parachute jumps.

In addition, Ryazan constantly trains and educates 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. V 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.

landing troops in without fail undergo jumping training at the training stage. Then the skydiving skills are already used during military operations or demonstration performances. Jumping has special rules: requirements for parachutes, aircraft used, training of soldiers. All these requirements must be known to the landing party for a safe flight and landing.

A paratrooper cannot jump without preparation. Training is a mandatory stage before the start of real airborne jumps, during which theoretical training and jumping practice take place. All the information that is told to future paratroopers during training is given below.

Aircraft for transportation and landing

What aircraft do paratroopers jump from? Russian army on this moment uses several aircraft to drop troops. The main one is IL-76, but other flying machines are also used:

• AN-12;
• MI-6;
• MI-8.

IL-76 remains preferable, since it is most conveniently equipped for landing, has a spacious luggage compartment and retains pressure well even on high altitudes, if the landing party needs to jump there. Its body is sealed, but in case of emergency, the compartment for paratroopers is equipped with individual oxygen masks. Thus, each skydiver will not experience a lack of oxygen during the flight.

The aircraft develops speeds of approximately 300 km per hour, and this is the optimal indicator for landing in military conditions.

Jump Height

From what height do paratroopers usually jump with a parachute? The altitude of the jump depends on the type of parachute and the aircraft used for landing. Recommended optimal height landing - 800-1000 meters above the ground. This indicator is convenient in combat conditions, since at such an altitude the aircraft is less exposed to fire. At the same time, the air is not too rarefied for the paratrooper to land.

From what height do paratroopers usually jump in case of non-training actions? The opening of the D-5 or D-6 parachute during landing from the IL-76 occurs at an altitude of 600 meters. The usual distance required for full disclosure is 200 meters. That is, if the landing starts from a height of 1200, then the opening will occur at around 1000. The maximum allowable for landing is 2000 meters.

More advanced models of parachutes allow you to start landing from a mark of several thousand meters. So, modern model D-10 allows you to land at a maximum height of no more than 4000 m above the ground. At the same time, the minimum allowable level for deployment is 200. It is recommended to start deployment earlier to reduce the likelihood of injury and a hard landing.

Types of parachutes

Since the 1990s, two main types have been used in Russia landing parachutes: D-5 and D-6. The first is the simplest, does not allow you to adjust the landing site. How many lines does a paratrooper's parachute have? Depends on the model. Lines in D-5 28, the ends are fixed, which is why it is impossible to adjust the direction of flight. The length of the lines is 9 meters. The weight of one set is about 15 kg.

A more advanced D-5 model is the D-6 paratrooper parachute. In it, the ends of the lines can be released and the threads can be pulled, adjusting the direction of flight. To turn left, you need to pull the lines on the left, to maneuver to the right side, pull the thread on the right. The area of ​​the parachute dome is the same as that of the D-5 (83 square meters). The weight of the kit is reduced - only 11 kilograms, it is most convenient for still being trained, but already trained paratroopers. During the training, about 5 jumps are made (with express courses), D-6 is recommended to be issued after the first or second. There are 30 rafters in the kit, four of them allow you to control the parachute.

For complete beginners, D-10 kits have been developed, this is an updated version, which has only recently been made available to the army. There are more rafters here: 26 main and 24 additional. Of the 26 feet, 4 allow you to control the system, their length is 7 meters, and the remaining 22 - 4 meters. It turns out that there are only 22 external additional lines and 24 internal additional lines. Such a number of cords (all of them are made of nylon) allow you to control the flight as much as possible, adjust the course during disembarkation. The dome area of ​​the D-10 is as much as 100 square meters. At the same time, the dome is made in the shape of a squash, a comfortable green color without a pattern, so that after landing a paratrooper it would be harder to detect it.

Rules for disembarking from an aircraft

The paratroopers disembark from the cabin in a certain order. In IL-76 this happens in several streams. For disembarkation, there are two side doors and a ramp. During training activities, they prefer to use exclusively side doors. Disembarkation can be carried out:

• in one stream of two doors (with a minimum of personnel);
• in two streams from two doors (with an average number of paratroopers);
• in three or four streams from two doors (with large-scale educational activities);
• in two streams and from the ramp, and from the doors (during hostilities).

The distribution into streams is done so that the jumpers do not collide with each other upon landing and cannot be hooked. A small delay is made between threads, usually several tens of seconds.

Parachute flight and deployment mechanism

After landing, the paratrooper must calculate 5 seconds. It cannot be considered a standard method: "1, 2, 3 ...". It will turn out too quickly, the real 5 seconds will not pass yet. It is better to count like this: "121, 122 ...". Now the most commonly used account is starting from 500: "501, 502, 503 ...".

Immediately after the jump, the stabilizing parachute automatically opens (the stages of its opening can be seen on the video). This is a small dome that prevents the paratrooper from starting to "circle" during the fall. Stabilization prevents flips in the air, in which a person begins to fly upside down (this position does not allow the parachute to open).

After five seconds, the stabilization is completely removed, and the main dome must be activated. This is done either with the help of a ring, or automatically. A good paratrooper should be able to adjust the opening of the parachute himself, so trained students are given kits with a ring. After activating the ring, the main dome fully opens in 200 meters of fall. The duties of a trained paratrooper paratrooper also include camouflage after landing.

Safety rules: how to protect the landing from injury

Parachutes require special treatment, care, so that jumps using them are as safe as possible. Immediately after use, the parachute must be properly folded, otherwise its service life will be drastically reduced. An improperly folded parachute may fail to deploy during landing, resulting in death.

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. V 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 evaluate 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.
