Captain Eliseev - a feat in a time of peace.

November 21, 2011 The wide aviation immensity of Russia and neighboring countries can be considered the 101st river of the famous Kachinsky Military Aviation School of Pilots. By order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, this name was abandoned and assigned to the large Krasnodar Military Aviation School of Pilots. The glorious aviation tradition will continue.

The school was founded on November 21, 1910. Yak Sevastopol Aviation Officer School. In 1922 The Sevastopol Aviation School merged with the National Aviation School No. 1 from the Zaraisk metro station, Moscow region, and the Gatchina Aviation School, founded in 1914. Near St. Petersburg. Thus, the Kachin School absorbed the traditions of the two oldest military schools in Russia.

The Kaczynski School accumulated all the best, least important Russian aviation from the earliest days of its founding.

I will tell you about my fate in school. On a dormous spring day in 1974. I, as well as 250 cadets, who successfully registered for the first year of Kacha. The river of intense pressure, and already at the grass of 1975 at the airport near the Tatsinskaya station, we began to weed. I have been remembering my first instructor pilots for a long time: the commander of the 2nd Air Squadron of the Moroziv Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Sobakin, the navigator of the 2AE Captain Golubev, the commander of the 1st Lanka Art. Lieutenant Sichov and his pilot-instructor Lieutenant Almaev. Already, word of mouth was conveying information about the feat of our fellow countryman, Volgograd resident, army pilot Captain Eliseev, who repaired a ram in peacetime.

And after many fates, one of the central newspapers described the feat of our fellow countryman in this way. “The average combat statute does not know such a technique for conducting a wind-to-earth battle - a ram. Sometimes it happens that this act is spoiled, that in the heat of battle, people lose their instinct of self-preservation. Possibly, it happened like that. Ale captain Gennady Yeliseev, in the remaining seconds of his life, once again proved that the ram is, above all, a sublime act of self-sacrifice.”

Just off the coastline of the Caspian Sea, the line of the Iranian-Azerbaijani cordon smoothly moves towards the surface, creating a protrusion with an area of thousands of square kilometers, which is deeply wedged into the territory of Azerbaijan. For NATO's military intelligence, this geographical baby was born in the early 1970s. Helpful clue.

At that time, both the closing and the far-reaching frontiers of the Radian Union were so tightly closed that all attempts by foreign spy-flyers to penetrate our territory were, as it were, at the root. In 1970 At the military airfield near Virmenia, a Primus-landed aircraft of the American Airborne Forces was flying, on board which were two American generals and a Turkish colonel. The previous option is from Norway through the Kola Peninsula - it will also be blocked by the strict PPO system. Mitsno standing Caucasian border.

And the damaged gates on the side of Iran were repaired. NATO reconnaissance pilots often crossed the Union cordon in the outer part of the ledge, “spotted” radar stations, caught on-air negotiations of the air forces of the air force, and caught their step. Ready, we went to the seaside. Our rescuers, who rose from the airfields near Georgia, had to escape the disastrous ledge, wasting precious lives and seconds.

November 28, 1973 PPO systems recorded the destruction of the sovereign cordon. At the command post of the 15th Corps of the Baku District PPO, where the highest alarm signal was, at that time the chief of the Politvodil Corps, Major General Oleksandr Ostanin, was at that time. The main thing is from the correspondents of Pratsi.

In 1973, the Americans “planted” a squadron of F-104 aircraft in Iran. And the cordon immediately became restless. That day, no one doubted that the goal was real. They were sent to the radio-technical battalion, which were carried out near the village of Imishli. I think the nickname of the station chief - Captain Dark - struck a chord with the riddle.

At that time, there was an instruction: transport bombers, if possible, should land on our airfields, and shoot down combatants without any advance. The corps commander gives Captain Dark the order to protect the enemy's flight

At this hour, two of our corps’ largest aircraft were already in the wind, and another one that had flown, as was later explained, from the Vaziani airfield in Georgia. Units of the 34th Military Army of the Transcaucasian Military District were stationed there. At the helm of MIT-21 - on board 240 - is captain Gennady Eliseev. The aiming point was immediately cleared, so that Eliseev herself was closest to the mark. Yoma captain Dark and punishing: “Meta lose!”

I remember how oppressive silence there was in the hallway. Vinishuvach Eliseeva is close. Rakhunok - for a second.

First start! - Add. Eliseev. And further – little mouse. Year after year I will repeat the message: “Let’s start again!” I’ll call you again.

No one at the checkpoint has made the right sound. Everyone realized what had happened. A rocket of the "over-and-over" class vibrates when it passes within 30 meters of snow. That means it’s a miss.

Today's yearlings of Gennady Yeliseev can hardly comprehend his recklessness. The world has changed, where everything is alive. And no matter how you twist it, trust in something more. And then, on the offensive side, the situation of military psychosis was in full swing, and hundreds of powerful strategic forces were ready with one hand to bring civilization down into a nuclear apocalypse. Eliseev was taught this: if you let the thug pass, the war will become closer. They thought: the enemy is cunning and approachable, and only watches for the moment of a blow to the socialist Fatherland. There have been few discussions on supersonic rumors about the price of a rich life. And Eliseev hit...

The dark one came up with an order: beat with the flatness of a krill. Eliseev confirms: “You are understood!” Those were the remaining words.

The airliner icons on the locator screen have disappeared. Greater than everything, Eliseev hit the enemy’s flight not with his wing, but like a torpedo with his entire body. Mig-21 swayed in the wind. The captain did not dare to eject. And the American pilots hit the axis. The stinks landed near the cordon, and they were haunted by an alarming group from the nearest outpost.

Having killed Oleksandr Vasilyovich, why didn’t the boy quickly get the 23-mm harmota, and at that hour they had already begun to install this type at a moment’s notice. In some cases it was reported that after the first blackout of the harmata, Yeliseev saw it, and the aircraft technicians from the newly formed squadrons took ten and three years in connection with each other . Stop vidpov, I don’t feel anything about it.

The dungeon could have been opened by spitting out the recording of the “ground” conversations with board 240. For a long hour it was stored in the Leninsky room of the radio-technical battalion. Then - at the museum of the 15th PPO building. But after unmolding, the spit disappeared somewhere.

The title of Hero of the Radyansky Union to Captain Gennady Yeliseev was given at that time very quickly - on the 10th of July 1973, only twelve days after his death.

Eliseev Gennady Mikolayovich born 26th birthday 1937. Near the city of Stalingrad (nine Volgograd) she has a robot. Russian Member of the CPRS since 1961. After graduating from high school in 1955. Having entered the Bataysk Military Aviation School of Pilots, he graduated in 1959. Having served in various places. The remaining place of service became the garrison near the town of Vaziani (Georgia).

Intercessor of the squadron commander of the 982nd military aviation regiment (34th Air Force Army, Transcaucasian Military District) Captain Eliseev G.M. November 28, 1973 He carried his battle war at the Vazian airfield. The Volgograd resident spent the rest of his life happily, having accomplished a feat in the name of the Fatherland. Our fellow countryman, military pilot Captain Yeliseev, was buried near Volgograd on the village of Dar-mountain (Voroshilovsky district). Near Volgograd, the street on which the memorial plaque was erected is named after Captain Eliseev. On his grave, 1975. The monument was made of polished granite with an overlaid bas-relief made of forged aluminum. The monument depicts a portrait of Gennady Yeliseev and the inscription: 1937-1973. Eliseev Gennady Mikolayovich, Hero of the Radyansky Union. The family of military pilot Captain Eliseev now lives in the town of Minsku (Belarus).

Shares of KVVAUL cadets graduating in 1978. They folded themselves in different ways. Some of my classmates switched to a new aircraft, the Su-25 attack aircraft, and took part in combat operations in Afghanistan in the early 1980s. My 4th group, 1st Lanks, 2AE also have their share. In 1975 They wrote off cadet Oleksandr Antonov from his military service. Sergiy Yesenin, having served for over 10 years with the UPS, transferred to the MZS as a guard at the aviation embassy. Roman Urba served with the UPU until the collapse of the USSR and from the Irkutsk region turned to Vilnius, to independent Lithuania. Of all our graduates born in 1978 who flew in the 2AE, only Colonel Dubovik still flies the Su-25 attack aircraft for the Belarusian Air Force. I occasionally come to the ground-based exhibition of the “Battle of Stalingrad” panorama to marvel once again at the evidence of my youth: on the Maidan the L-29 and Mit-21 aircraft froze in a single formation. The stinks have stopped flying for a long time. But I don’t believe in it.

For the plans of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for military training schools of the UPS, air bases and centers for the retraining of military warehouses until 2020. It is planned to add 130 initial pilots of the 4th generation Yak-130. Until 2015 All initial L-39 flights that are available at pilot schools of the Russian Air Force and pilot retraining centers are being written off. In 2010 The first 6 serial initial Yak-130 aircraft arrived at the Lipetsk reprocessing center for the cast warehouse. And on this day, the first 4 serial Yak-130 aircraft flew from the aircraft factory to the airbase of the Kachin Aviation School of Pilots near Borisoglibsk.

Goodbye to the pilots and cadets of KVVAUL, who have entered the cockpit of the new Yak-130 aircraft. This desk that flies opens up to current cadets the prospect of mastering the 5th generation military training, which is expected before the end of their military service in the Russian military forces. Good luck, colleagues!

On November 28, 1973, the pilot of the Vinishuvach MiG-21SM G. N. Eliseev, at the cost of a rich life, lost his flight, which destroyed the reinstatement cordon of the USSR. This first hit the ram due to the stagnation of the jet aircraft. The name of the hero was once again included in the lists of the military unit, declaring a great feat, and the squadron was given the name “Elisiivska”.

The feat of Captain Eliseev

Gennady Mikolayovich Eliseev was born in 1937 in Stalingrad. In 1959 he graduated from the Bataysk Military Aviation School. Having served in various combat aviation units. The remaining place is a garrison near the Georgian place of Vaziani, de Yeliseev at the title of captain, serving as the intercessor of the squadron commander of the 982nd high-ranking aviation regiment of the 34th military army Zakav. Kazan military district.

On the 28th of leaf fall, 1973, Captain Eliseev was carrying out a drawing at the airport. About the 12th year of the 20th century, information was released about those who in the area of the Mugan Valley (Azerbaijan) invaded the territory of the Radyansky Union by the RF-4C "Phantom" reconnaissance aircraft of the UPS Iran. Having rejected the order from the command post, Eliseev flew to the most important MiG-21SM aircraft to intercept the fighter pilot.

Radyansky Vinishuvach caught up with the “Phantom” when it was already close to the cordon. Having issued the command to lower the target, he fired two pairs of R-3 “back-and-forth” missiles. The RF-4C fired off the thermal pastes, and the missiles passed through. The zastosuvavat harmata was risked, the fragments of the destroyer were already completely ordered from the cordon, and the shooter did not guarantee the defeat of the Iranian fighter of the American army. Before the speech, there was a spark, and in the cockpit together with the Iranian pilot, Major Shokuniya, and the former American Colonel John Saunders. Let's leave the intelligence department.

A command came from the ground: “Stop the enemy’s flight at any cost!” Eliseev Vidpoviv: “I understand, I understand.” Those were the remaining words.

Approaching the Phantom, the MiG struck its tail feathers with its wing. "Iranian" having lost control, its crew was forced to eject and be caught by the border guards.

A moment of control without wasting and starting to gradually decline. The pilot did not call. And suddenly I crashed into the mountain. According to the most plausible version, during the hour of the ram, Eliseev hit his head on the slope and became uneasy. This very thing caused his death. It became about the 13th year of the 15th century.
Captain Gennady Mikolayovich Eliseev was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Radyansky Union.

Submit guesses to objective ones

The evidence that conveyed this feat was thoroughly investigated by the commission. As a result, the punishment to the Head of the Air Force was pointed out for the lack of training of guidance officers, who were poorly aware of the formation of flights of the most important aircraft of the Air Force.

According to the testimony of one of the eyewitnesses of these dramatic events, which did not reach official documents, this story met a fatal end.

The Iranian "Phantom" was marked on the radar of the operational command post of Jangri in the background - at the moment of departure from the airfield in Tabriz. When there was a threat of destruction of the cordon, the airfield in Marneuli was raised in the wind of Chergovy Vinishchuvach and taken over for management. Already, the equipment rushed to the guidance point, through which the vinishuvach, who had lost control, turned back to the airfield in confusion.

Due to the great delays at the Vaziani airfield, the MIG of Eliseev was raised. Having flown to the area, we began to take control of the Jangri guidance point. Ale that buv znestrumleniya.

They sensed Eliseev on a recent Monday and led him to the target. Ale navidnik has seen that it is on the right not from the MiG-21SM, but from the Su-15, which is not properly equipped. The whole world and caused “not the outright vikoristana of the combative capabilities of the Vinishuvach.” So, not all of the capabilities of the aircraft, like the MiG-21SM, were used, but the Su-15 had a connection with another weapon at the point of attack.

There is also evidence that the story was even more complicated, but is not described in official documents. After the first missile salvo, the Phantom pilots, having realized that the right might end for them not as a Radyan war, but as a siege, ejected. Another volley also failed to hit the Porushnik pilot. And Eliseev rammed the already empty van.

There are evidences of a different kind, which are characteristic of the 90s, since it was customary to cover the earlier 70s period with our history with a thick ball of black farbee. No, according to the words of a certain colonel, the Eliseevs rammed the initial Iranian aircraft from below, so their pilots did not kill the MiG, and did not understand what happened to their light, windy ship. And in the middle of the streets, no hardware equipment was found. That one had a chance to be beaten in front of two honest boys...

Scraper share

Before the speech, on a website in the British domain dedicated to the “Phantoms” of the UPU Iran, traces of the killed Iranian major and American colonel were revealed. However, the authors of the website about the incident that is being investigated state that they have a feeling that the flight was reconnaissance, otherwise there is no confirmation. Let's start talking about an easy walk in flight, but in reality it will be interesting (RF-4C).

Major Shokuniya was younger than the Eliseevs. We started flying at the air base in Tabriz on the lightweight high-power aircraft F-5, which was supplied in large quantities to the United States mainly in Asia since the mid-60s. I flew again with the Shpigun modification - RF-5A. 1972 rock, when the United States strengthened reconnaissance activities from the territory of Iran, switching to the two-wheeled RF-4C.

Both the Iranian major and the American colonel were released in 16 days. Perhaps, in this regard, there were a lot of diplomatic pressures.
Shokuniya continued his service. Eliseeva has survived many fates. On September 27, 1982, an Iranian pilot died in action during the war with Iraq. Before the speech, this time I beat the same MiG-21. You won’t lose your share.

"... I wish you had sparingly and clearly celebrated our anniversary

Our life is as short as the concrete of a smuha.

And on it - sometime it was broken, sometime it flew back... "

(V. Visotsky “Song about a lost friend”)

Gennady Nikolaevich Eliseev (December 26, 1937, Stalingrad - November 28, 1973, Georgian SSR) - pilot (graduated from the Bataysk Military Aviation School of Pilots in 1959), deputy squadron commander of the 982nd Fighter Aviation Regiment of the 283rd Fighter Aviation Division of the 34th th of the conquered army of the Transcaucasian military district, captain, Hero of the Radyansky Union.

Feat

On November 28, 1973, Captain Yeliseev flew a MiG-21SM aircraft from the Vaziani airfield to catch a fire fighter who had invaded the Radyansky expanse near the Mugan Valley (Azerbaijan).

MIG-21

The Iranian F-4 “Phantom” II appeared as an unexpected guest (some people will probably guess the T-33 or the ES-130E), which was working in research within the framework of the American-Iranian Project Dark Gene program.

F-4 Phantom II

The earthquake occurred over the territory of the Georgian RSR. Having rejected the order to deprive the fighter, Eliseev fired two R-3 missiles at him, after which he rammed, hitting the tail with a wing. This is the third time in the history of Radian aviation that a cordon buster has been rammed on a jet fighter.

The crew of the “Phantom” (Iranian Major Shokukhnia, who perished in the Iran-Iraq War, and American Colonel John Saunders) ejected, having been caught by guards and soldiers after 16 days. A moment after the ram crashed into the mountain, causing the pilot to die.

So, for some unknown reason, Eliseev was not installed on his aircraft. Apparently, a harmonious arrangement has emerged.

Lesson that characterizes Eliseev, Gennady Mikolayovich

- Signal! – after rinsing the wine.
The Cossack raised his hand and shot. And at the same time I felt the dullness of the horses that galloped ahead, screams from different sides and more shooting.
The same mity, as the first sounds of dullness and screaming lulled, Petya, having hit his horse and letting go of the reins, not listening to Denisov, who was shouting at him, galloping ahead. It seemed to Petya that suddenly, as if in the middle of the day, it was clearly visible in that hvilina, as if he felt a shot. He galloped up to the bridge. Cossacks galloped ahead along the road. On the bridge, he met a Cossack, stood up, and galloped away. There were people ahead, probably French, running from the right side of the road to the left. One fell at the buggy’s feet under Petya’s horse.
Cossacks gathered at one hut, looking like they were standing there. From the middle of the yurby I felt a terrible scream. Petya galloped up to this crowd, and first, having gained some attention, was pale, with the three-fold lower slit of the face of the Frenchman, who was reaching for the peak, which was straight on him.
“Hurray!.. Lads... ours...” Petya shouted, giving the reins to the red-hot horse, galloping ahead of the street.
There was almost a shot in front. Cossacks, hussars and Russian robbed troops, who were running from both sides of the road, all shouted loudly and awkwardly. Young, without a hat, with a dark, frowning face, a Frenchman in a blue overcoat was fighting with a bagnet in front of the hussars. When Petya jumped, the Frenchman had already fallen. Dreaming again, it flashed through Petya’s head, and as they galloped there, the stars mooned and fired frequently. They mooned in the courtyard of that gentleman's little hut where they had studied at night with Dolokhov. The French sat there in the mud near a thick garden overgrown with bushes and fired at the Cossacks, who were standing in front of each other. As he continues to scream, Petya, in a smoke of gunpowder, has treated Dolokhov with his pale, green faces, now shouting to people. “Go around! Check the hell out! - Shouting out, when Petya got up to the new one.
- Check? Feeling the volley, the empty trucks squealed. The Cossacks and Dolokhov gathered behind Petya at the gate of the booth. The French, in the thick smoke that was swaying, some threw armor and ran out of the bushes in front of the Cossacks, while others ran down the mountain to the headquarters. Petya galloped on his horse around the master's yard and, instead of shaking the reins, marvelously and swiftly waved both his arms and kept on and on bouncing from the saddle on one side. The horse, having run into a rot that was smoldering in the wounded light, rested, and Petya fell pompously onto the wet ground. The Cossacks cheered as their arms and legs began to snicker, not caring for those whose heads had not collapsed. Kulya pierced the youma's head.
Having spoken with the senior French officer, who had been the leader until now from behind the booth with a hustka on the spaz, and voiced that there was a stink, Dolokhov got off his horse and walked up to the unshakable, with his arms outstretched, while Petya was lying down.
“Ready,” he said, frowning, and walked at the gate in front of Denisov, who was on his way to the next one.
- Killings?! - Denisov shouted, having looked at the familiar, undeniable, lifeless camp in which Petya’s body lay from afar.
“Ready,” repeating Dolokhov, the words he heard brought him satisfaction, and he quickly ate to the fullness, which the Cossacks had sharpened, so they hurried. - Let's not have brothers! - shouting to Denisov.
Denisov did not confirm; he walked up to Petya, dismounted from his horse and with three-legged hands turned the muddy blood and mud towards himself, already revealing Petya.
“I made a sound to some licorice. Miraculous birthmarks, take it all,” the youmu thought. And the Cossacks looked around in wonder at sounds similar to a dog barking, with which Denisov quickly turned away, walked up to the mud and huddled behind him.
Among the Russian soldiers defeated by Denisov and Dolokhov, P'er Bezukhov.

About that party of prisoners, in what was then Pierre, at the hour of its collapse from Moscow, there was no such thing as the French authorities wanted for a new order. The party of the 22nd was no longer with the same troops and carts with which it left Moscow. Half of the baggage train with breadcrumbs, which was the first to march behind them, was hit by the Cossacks, the other half went forward; there were no more foot cavalrymen who had gone ahead; the stench disappeared. The artillery, which had been visible in front of the first marches, was now replaced by the majestic convoy of Marshal Junot, who was escorting the Westphalians. Behind them came a convoy of cavalry speeches.
At Vyaz, the French troops, who had previously marched in three columns, now marched in one column. Those signs of discord that had marked Pierre at his first stop from Moscow have now reached the next stage.
