Theory of combat application

In military theory, it was believed that after the immediate use of nuclear strikes and the preservation of the high rates of occurrence, a wide use of air assaults is necessary. Under these conditions, airborne troops were to fully comply with the military-strategic goals of the war and respond to the military-political goals of the state.

According to the commander of Marghelova:

"To fulfill your role in modern operations, it is necessary that our compounds and parts are highly cannon, covered armor possessed sufficient fire efficiency, well managed, capable of landing at any time of the day and quickly move to active combat actions after landing. Here, by and large, the ideal to which we must strive

.

To achieve his goals, under the leadership of Marghelov, the concept of the role and seats of the Airborne Forces in modern strategic operations at various theaters of hostilities was developed. On this topic, Margelov was written a number of works, as well as on December 4, 1968, the candidate thesis was successfully defended by the title of Military Sciences by the decision of the Council of the Military Order of Lenin's Red Banner Order of Suvorov Academy. M. V. Frunze). In practical terms, exercises and commander fees were held regularly.

Armament

It was necessary to overcome the gap between the theory combat application Airborne and established organizational structure of troops, as well as opportunities for military transport aviation. Enforcing the Commander, Margelov received troops, mainly from infantry with light weapons and military transport aircraft (as part of the Airborne Forces), which was equipped with Li-2 aircraft, IL-14, Tu-2 and 4 with essentially limited landing capabilities. In fact, the Airborne Forces were not able to solve large tasks in military operations.

Margelov initiated the creation and mass production at the enterprises of the military-industrial complex of landing, heavy parachute platforms, parachute systems and targeting for landing, cargo and human parachutes, parachute instruments. "Technician does not order, so seek to create in the KB, industry, during the tests of reliable parachutes, the trouble-free operation of heavy airborne equipment," said Margelov, when setting tasks with his subordinate.

For paratroopers, modifications of small arms, simplifying its parachute landing - smaller weight, folding butt.

Especially for the needs of the Airborne Forces in the postwar years, a new military equipment was developed and upgraded: ASU-76 Aviation Involutionary Artillery Installation (1949), Easy ACS 57 (1951), Floating ACS 57P (1954), Self-propelled installation ACSU-85, Crawler combat machine Airborne troops BMD-1 (1969). After the receipt of the first parties of the BMD-1, the arms family was developed at its base: artillery self-propelled guns "Nona", artillery fire control machines, command-pile machines P-142, R-141 radio station, anti-tank complexes, reconnaissance machine. The anti-aircraft parts and units were also equipped with armored vehicles, which were placed calculations with portable complexes and a wip.

By the end of the 1950s, new An-8 and An-12 aircraft were adopted and entered the troops, which had a lifting capacity of up to 10-12 tons and a sufficient range of flights, which made it possible to land the large groups of personnel with full-time military equipment and Weapons. Later by the efforts of Marghelov, airborne troops received new military transport aircraft - An-22 and Il-76.

In the end of the 1950s, parachute platforms of PP-127 appeared in service with the troops, intended for landing with a parachute method of artillery, vehicles, radio stations, engineering equipment and the other. Parachute-reactive means of landing, which, due to the engine created by the engine, allowed to bring the speed of landing the cargo to zero. Such systems allowed to significantly reduce the setting due to the abandon from a large amount of large area domes.

January 5, 1973 on the parachuteodrom of the Airborne Forces "Slobodka" (look at Yandex. Maps) Under Tula for the first time in world practice in the USSR, landing on parachute and platform means in the Kentaur complex from the Military Transport aircraft An-12b Crawler Battle Armored Machine BMD-1 with two crew members on board. The crew commander was Lieutenant Colonel Leonid Gavrilovich Zuev, and Senior Lieutenant Margelov Alexander Vasilyevich.

January 23, 1976, also for the first time in world practice, asked from the same type of aircraft, made a soft planting of the BMD-1 on a parachute and reactive system in the RetretAvr complex also with two crew members on board - Major Margelov Alexander Vasilyevich and Lieutenant Colonel Shcherbakov Leonid Ivanovich.

Feat Marghelova

Vasily Margelov has already become a real legend in life.

Polk Marghelova was considered the "Guard Admiral Tribut", he sent her in the blockade Leningrad even in those places where it was difficult to send a fine.

For example, when the fascists stormed Pulkovsky heights, Marghelov's regiment landed in the rear to the Germans on the coast of Lake Ladoga. Morapes showed heroism and forced the Germans to stop the storm Pulkovo to resist the Russian landing. Major Margelov got a heavy wound, but survived.

Vasily Margelov for more than 20 years he managed the Airborne Forces of the USSR, and thanks to his merit, they became one of the most mobile troops in the structure of the armed forces of the country. The contribution of the general in the formation of the Airborne Forces was reflected in the humorial decoding of this abbreviation - "Troops Uncle Vasi".

Concept of the role of the aircraft

In military theory, it was believed that to apply nuclear strikes and maintain a high rate at the occurrence, it is necessary to use landing troops. In such conditions, airborne troops must comply with the strategic goals of military conflict and respond to the political goals of the country.

Margelov believed that to fulfill his role in operations, it is necessary that the Soviet compounds were maneuverable, covered armor, perfectly managed, had fire efficiency, could at any time of the day to land in the rear of the enemy and move to combat actions immediately. To such an ideal need to strive, as the famous General considered.

Under his leadership, the concept of the place and role of the Airborne Forces in military operations was developed. On this topic, he wrote a lot of work and defended his thesis.

Armament of airborne troops

There was time, and more and more needed to overcome the gap between the theory of the use of airborne troops and the stratum structure of troops and the possibilities of military transport aircraft. Becoming commander, Margelov Vasily (Airborne) received troops at its disposal, which consisted of passenger infantry and aviation equipped with IL-14 aircraft, Li-2, Tu-4. Opportunities were seriously limited and servicemen were unable to solve serious tasks.

The general began with the fact that he initiated the mass production of towing facilities, parachute systems and platforms, as well as cargo tare. For the Airborne Forces, weapons modifications were developed, which was easy to land in parachute - folding butt, low weight.

Also, a combat technique was modernized specifically for the Airborne University: ASU-76 landfills, ACSU-57, ACS-57P, ACSU-85, BMD-1 tracked machine and others. Also developed radio stations, anti-tank complexes, intelligence machines. Anti-aircraft complexes were equipped with armored personnel carriers, they were settled with the battered and portable complexes.

Closer to the 60s, the armament of the landing was entered the an-8 and an-12 aircraft, which have a lifting capacity of up to twelve tons, they could fly for long distances. A little later, the airborne troops received the An-22 and Il-76 aircraft.

Everlasting memory

After retirement, Vasily Margelov lived in Moscow. Lost "Uncle Vasya" Fourth of March 1990 buried him at the Novodevichy Cemetery. Monument to Vasily Margelov installed in Tyumen. Also, the monuments in his honor are available in Krivoy Rog, Dnepropetrovsk, Kherson, Chisinau, Ryazan, Kostyukovichi, Omsk, Ulyanovsk, Tula, St. Petersburg.

In Taganrog there is a memorial plaque dedicated to the General. Officers and soldiers of airborne troops annually attend the monument "Uncle Vasya" at the Novodevichy Cemetery and give a tribute to his memory.

Vasily Filippovich Margelov was called up to the Red Army in 1928. Even before the Second World War, he showed himself during the Polish campaign, the Soviet-Finnish war. But, perhaps, it was during the Great Patriotic War that he revealed as an outstanding commander. What is worth one passing without the fight "Soviet Szorrow" (as his Germans called) Divisions of the SS Tank Corps "Dead Head" and "Great Germany" on May 12, 1945, which were ordered to prevent Americans in the area of \u200b\u200bresponsibility. The enemy drunk into the angle is capable of much - there is nothing to lose. For the approaches, the payroll for atrocities was inevitable, and new victims were inevitable. And the order was clear - capture or destroy.

Margelov went on a decisive step. With a group of officers armed with machine guns and grenades, comeda, accompanied by a battery of 57-mm cannons on his "Willis" arrived at the headquarters of the grouping. By ordering the combat to establish an instrument of direct tip to the headquarters of the enemy and shoot, if it won't return ten minutes.

Margelov presented the Germans to the Germans: either they give up and they retain their lives or complete destruction using all fire funds of the division: "By 4.00 am - the front east. Easy weapons: automata, machine guns, rifles - in stacks, ammunition - near. The second line is a combat technique, guns and mortars - the cavities down. Soldiers and officers are building to the West. " Time for meditation is just a few minutes: "while his cigarette is trampled." The nerves of the Germans gave the crack first. The picture of the surrender of the ESSISTS was awesome. The exact counting of trophies showed the following figures: 2 generals, 806 officers, 31,258 Unter-Officers, 77 tanks and SAU, 5847 trucks, 493 trucks, 46 mortars, 120 guns, 16 steam locomotives, 397 wagons. For this military feat, at the parade of the victory of Margelov, they trusted to command the second regiment of the 2nd Ukrainian Front.

Contribution to the formation and development of airborne

General Pavel Fedoseevich Pavlenko:

In the history of airborne troops, and in the Armed Forces of Russia and other countries of the formerly the Union, his name will remain forever. He personified a whole era in the development and development of the Airborne Forces, their authority and popularity is associated with his name, but also abroad ...

…IN. F. Margelov realized that in modern operations successfully operate in the deep rear of the enemy can only be able to the depths capable of a wide maneuver of the landings. It is categorically rejected by the installation on the hold of the area captured by the landing up to the approach of the advancing of the troops by the method of rigid defense as a destructive, for in this case the landing will be quickly destroyed.

Colonel Nikolai Fedorovich Ivanov:

Under more than twenty years old, Marghelova, landing troops became one of the most mobile in the combat structure of the armed forces, prestigious service in them, especially revered in the people ... Photo of Vasily Filippovich in the Demobel albums went with the soldiers at the highest price - for a set of breastplates. Competition in the Ryazan Airborne School overlap the figures of Vgika and Gitis, and the applicants cut off on the exams for two to three months, to snow and frosts, lived in the forests under Ryazan in the hope that someone could not stand the loads and it would be possible to take his place . The spirit of the troops was so high that the rest of the Soviet Army was credited in the category of "Solari" and "Screws".

The contribution of Marghelov to the formation of airborne troops in their current form was reflected in the comic decoding of the abbreviation ARVV - "Uncle Vasya's troops".

Theory of combat application

In military theory it was believed that for the immediate use of nuclear strikes and the preservation of high rates of occurrence, a wide use of air assaults is necessary. Under these conditions, airborne troops were to fully comply with the military-strategic goals of the war and respond to the military-political goals of the state.

According to the commander of Marghelova:

"To fulfill your role in modern operations, it is necessary that our compounds and parts are highly cannon, covered armor possessed sufficient fire efficiency, well managed, capable of landing at any time of the day and quickly move to active combat actions after landing. Here, by and large, the ideal to which we should strive. "

To achieve his goals, under the leadership of Marghelov, the concept of the role and seats of the Airborne Forces in modern strategic operations at various theaters of hostilities was developed. On this topic, Margelov was written a number of works, as well as successfully defended the candidate thesis (awarded the title of Candidate of Military Sciences by the decision of the Council of the Military Order of Lenin's Red Banner Order of Suvorov Academy. M. V. Frunze). In practical terms, exercises and commander fees were held regularly.

Armament

It was necessary to overcome the gap between the theory of combat use of the Airborne Forces and the current organizational structure of the troops, as well as the possibilities of military transport aircraft. Enforcing the Commander, Margelov received troops, mainly from infantry with light weapons and military transport aircraft (as part of the Airborne Forces), which was equipped with Li-2 aircraft, IL-14, Tu-2 and 4 with essentially limited landing capabilities. In fact, the Airborne Forces were not able to solve large tasks in military operations.

Margelov initiated the creation and mass production in enterprises of military-industrial complexes of landing, heavy parachute platforms, parachute systems and tare for landing, cargo and human parachutes, parachute instruments. "Technician does not order, so seek to create in the KB, industry, during the tests of reliable parachutes, the trouble-free operation of heavy airborne equipment," said Margelov, when setting tasks with his subordinate.

For paratroopers, modifications of small arms, simplifying its parachute landing - smaller weight, folding butt.

Especially for the needs of the Airborne Forces in the postwar years, a new combat technique was developed and modernized: ASU-76 airflowing airflower installation (1949), light ACS-57 (1951), floating-57p (1954), Self-propelled installation ACSU-85, Crawler combat air -Teance troops BMD-1 (1969). After receiving the first parties of the BMD-1 in the troops, the armament family was developed at its base: artillery self-propelled guns "Nona", artillery fire control machines, Command-staff Machines P-142, Detail Radio-141 radio stations, anti-tank complexes, reconnaissance machine. The anti-aircraft parts and units were also equipped with armored vehicles, which were placed calculations with portable complexes and a wip. By the end of the 50s, new An-8 and An-12 aircraft were adopted and entered the troops, which had a lifting capacity of up to 10-12 tons and a sufficient flight range, which made it possible to land the large groups of personnel with full-time military equipment and Weapons. Later by the efforts of Marghelov, airborne troops received new military transport aircraft - An-22 and Il-76.

In the late 50s, the troops appeared parachute platformPP-127, intended for landing with a parachute method of artillery, vehicles, radio stations, engineering equipment, etc. Parachute-reactive means of landing were created, which by the engine created by the engine created by the engine allowed cargo to zero. Such systems allowed to significantly reduce the setting due to the abandon from a large amount of large area domes.

January 5, 1973 on the parachuteodrom of the Airborne Forces "Slobodka" (look at Yandex. Maps) Under Tula for the first time in world practice in the USSR, landing on parachute and platform means in the Kentaur complex from the Military Transport aircraft An-12b Crawler Battle Armored Machine BMD-1 with two crew members on board. The crew commander was the son of Vasily Filippovich, senior lieutenantmargelov Alexander Vasilyevich, and the driver-driver - Lieutenant Colonel Zuev Leonid Gavrilovich.

January 23, 1976, also for the first time in world practice, aerated from the same type of aircraft, made a soft planting of the BMD-1 on a parachute and reactive system in the RetotalAvr complex also with two crew members on board - Major Margelov Alexander Vasilyevich and Lieutenant Colonel Shcherbakov Leonid Ivanovich. The landing was made with a huge risk for life, without individual means of salvation. In twenty years, for the feat of the seventies, both were awarded the title of Hero of Russia.
