Because every war is unique in its methods of

warfare, the nature of the theater of military operations
and the brutality of the warring parties, there is not and
cannot be a single reference book for all cases of combat
activity. But military life, which constitutes 80% of any war,
is the same everywhere. Ignorance of its basics undermines
a fighter’s health and leads to losses.
Therefore, veterans who fought in Afghanistan, the
Caucasus and Ukraine did not describe in this brochure
the features of battles in the city, at sea or in space. This
will be taught by commanders and senior comrades. We
simply summarized our experience of life in war, collected
the main thing that helps us survive and win.

Important!
I received a summons. What to take to the recruiting station
Don't panic. Don’t believe rumors and fools who claim that you
have to purchase everything from a helmet to a bulletproof vest yourself.
Don't burden your family with expenses and unnecessary expenses.
You will receive everything you need at your place of stay.
It is better to come to the collection point in a

tracksuit and sneakers (sports boots). With me
have:
— passport, military ID, driver’s license

rhenium;
— toiletries and shaving supplies for 1
month;
— adhesive plaster 2–3 packs;
—loperamide;
—folding knife with awl (multi-tool), spoon;
—nail clippers (knipser);
—3–4 pairs of socks;
— 2–3 sets of underwear (loose-fitting)
cut);
—3–4 pairs of work gloves;
—a set of needles and threads (green, black, white;
— lighter, matches (preferably all-weather);
— a block of cigarettes (for smokers);
— laces for ankle boots (110–120 cm);
—food and water for one day.

1. What is a special military operation
Politicians called the actions of our army in Ukraine

a special military operation. From the point of view of
international law, this is indeed true. And for its
participants, this is a real war with blood, pain, the
bitterness of losses and the joy of victories.
2. Great Patriotic War 2.0.
Just look at the list of countries that imposed sanctions

on us and helped the Ukrainian regime—Germany , Poland,
the Czech Republic, Croatia, Norway, Denmark, Japan,
Italy... They all fought against us. Today in Ukraine they are
taking revenge on Russia for our Great Victory. This means
that for us this is a continuation of the Great Patriotic War.
And we, like our grandfathers in 1945, are obliged to win.
3. In Ukraine we defend Russia
There is no Ukraine as a state, there is the territory of

the former Ukrainian SSR, temporarily occupied by a terrorist
gang. All power there is concentrated in the hands of citizens
of Israel, the USA, and Great Britain, who organized the
genocide of the indigenous people, “reducing” 20 million
people over the years of “independence.” To survive, people,
like blacks in the United States once upon a time, work for
pennies on European plantations. The brothels of Europe
are filled with young Ukrainian women. Men are forced to
fight against Russia.
The United States and Europe want to wage this war until
the last Ukrainian. They don't need people. They need territory
and resources. They prepared the same future for us.
Therefore, by fighting in Ukraine, we are defending Russia and saving
8
residents of Ukraine from the genocide launched by Ukrainian

and Western politicians.
4. Who are Ukrainians
Just recently, 96.7% of Ukrainians were Russian. But 30

years of independence deprived them of normal education ,
culture, and native language and turned them into “wild”
Russophobes.
They still have something left of the Russians. They, like us,
were brought up on the exploits of their grandfathers who defeated
fascism. They are the same brave fighters - persistent in defense,
daring in attack. Someday, after denazification, they will become
Russians again, but for now they are enemies. Cruel and
treacherous. This means we must beat them until they raise their
hands in the air, without relaxing, until our victory.
5. Features of the strategy of the Ukrainian army
The West has been preparing Ukraine for war with Russia
for 30 years. Realizing that they couldn’t defeat us in a fair fight,
they chose the most vile strategy. Following the example of the
Nazis, they organized a focal defense system in populated areas.
There they deploy battalion or company tactical groups, reinforced
with artillery, sabotage units and modern reconnaissance
equipment. The strongholds are equipped with cable Internet,
which allows online surveillance, transmitting commands and
inflicting fire.
In addition to Soviet weapons, Ukrainian units are

equipped with NATO ATGMs, missiles and artillery
systems. Each platoon has quadcopters, thermal imagers
and protected equipment
communications.

6. Ukrainian tactics—"Hit and run."
When Russian troops are detected, a Ukrainian soldier

only needs to point his finger at the tablet screen for the target
coordinates to enter the unified battle control network, and a
free artillery unit receives the command to open fire.
Artillery located in cover (factory workshops, basements

of shopping centers, etc.) moves to pre- prepared positions,
strikes and hides in its shelters. The defeat of the enemy is
completed by mobile sabotage groups, which, after a short fire
contact, return to strong points, hiding behind civilians.
7. Combat losses and not so much
The nature of the fighting in Ukraine differs from

Afghanistan and Chechnya. In terms of the saturation of the
sides with heavy weapons, they are closer to the Second World
War. This is evidenced by the loss statistics. Among the dead,
up to 78% have gunshot-fragmentation injuries, 12% have
bullet wounds, and 10% have mine-explosive wounds.
And now the important thing! In war, up to 40% are non-
combat losses. Reasons—violation of safety measures during
handling weapons, defeat by “friendly fire” due to lack of
interaction with neighbors, transport accidents, hazing, illness,
poisoning with alcohol substitutes.
The Americans were unable to change the statistics of the

causes of non-combat losses. But they almost halved their
number to 23%, obliging military personnel in the combat zone
to constantly wear a helmet and body armor.
10
Conclusion 1: A helmet and body armor doubles the chance

survive.
Conclusion 2: Discipline and compliance with safety measures
help to avoid being included in the statistics of non-combat losses.
8. Where we lose and how not to become a loss
The enemy’s success is, most often, the result of

most mistakes.
We suffer the main damage from artillery fire
on the march, in places of concentration when setting tasks,
when organizing a field camp or strong point, as well as the
actions of sabotage groups.
In order not to add to the loss statistics, you should follow
simple rules.
1) When marching or at a halt, keep the distance between
cars at least 20–30 meters. This reduces mass casualties from
precision weapons by 90%. Any boss who places equipment
closer than 20 meters from another is a fool and a saboteur.
2) Dig in even in places where units are

temporarily located. If you stop, dig in. A small trench
is a good shelter from shrapnel and shock
waves.
3) Monitor constantly. Wherever you are -
on the front line or in the rear - monitor the sky and the surrounding
area.
4) Organize yourself. The crew of each vehicle (squad)
must become an independent tactical unit, providing security,
camouflage, maintenance of military equipment, engineering
equipment for positions, food intake and rest for fighters.
eleven
9. Think for three
The creation of autonomous combat groups

within the unit allows minimizing losses .
A combat troika formed on the basis of friendly
relations is the best order of self-organization for military
personnel. It is formed in the department around the
collective weapons of the unit - a machine gun, grenade
launcher, etc., making up their crew.
This distribution increases the effectiveness of heavy
weapons and leads to a reduction in losses. If one of the
soldiers is wounded, the other two are able to quickly
evacuate him and provide first aid. Engineering a firing
position for three takes half as much time as digging an
individual trench. At the same time, while two people are
working with shovels, the third can conduct surveillance,
provide camouflage for the object, cook food, clean
weapons, etc. At night, two alternately stay awake and
observe, one rests.
10. Memo to the commander
Commander, remember: your task is to manage the battle,

everyday life , and relationships within the unit. And to become a
good commander, you need to kill the militant in yourself and restore
feed the solution.
First, throw out the ammunition from your backpack.
Leave two AK magazines and a couple of AF guns. This will be enough
to stand up for yourself, and will deprive you of the temptation to kill your enemies.
"self."
What a commander really needs to have is a set of

spare batteries for the radio, good binoculars, a GPS
navigator, a laser range finder, a thermal imaging
monocular and chargers for them.
12
The Ministry of Defense does not provide these

gadgets , so the commander purchases them himself.
It's time to get used to the fact that a commander, like
any professional, must have personal working tools.
Provide your soldiers with everything they need,
organize security, equip positions, train your subordinates
in the use of all types of weapons. Then the commander
in battle will not have to personally sit in the gunner’s place
or mechanics.
Don't let anyone ignore you.

Take away the machine gun from the soldier who sent you in
response to a fair demand for service. Let him fight with a shovel
until he grows wiser.
The boss who disrupted the delivery of food, ammunition,
fuel to the unit , using all available means: from complaints to the
higher command and statements to the military prosecutor’s office,
to hazing. He is a traitor and an enemy. His inaction destroys you
and the fighters entrusted to you.
Firmly demand clarification of the mission, provision of

communications and artillery support. Any refusals mean ignoring
you as an individual and as a commander. And if your bosses push
you, it means that your fighters will ignore you too. Don't stoop to
the level of the idiot. Be a leader! This is the only way you can
restore order in your unit and save your soldiers.
11. Soldier's Truth

In Afghanistan, the fighters of the Kunduz reconnaissance
battalion had a tradition. During operations, they did not start eating
until the commander took the spoon. True, this did not apply to
everyone, but only to those commanders who, with their
professionalism, ensured the completion of combat missions and the preservation of l
subordinates.
13
A good commander is a master of his craft. He

constantly teaches fighters how to use weapons. At his
positions there are full-profile trenches, observers are
always at their posts, rest and food for personnel are
organized according to allowance standards. He himself
does not drink alcohol and does not allow slackness
among his subordinates. Calm in battle . Controls the fire
of the unit, but, if necessary, skillfully fires from any type
of weapon. He behaves evenly with his superiors, is not
afraid to stand up for his subordinates, and is not lazy in filling out
on those who distinguished themselves.
Such a commander must be protected in battle and helped in

his career. Talk to him honestly about problems, put troublemakers
and slackers in their place, drive out the cowards.
If the commander “relaxes” bitterly, does not delve into the

problems of support and life of the personnel, does not engage in
combat training, cannot organize service, and the personnel are left
to their own devices and wander around the area in search of
adventures, then this is a bad commander. We need to get away
from him as soon as possible, because he and his unit are doomed
to unjustified losses.
12. Rule of Survival No. 1: Don’t stand out
The fighting in Ukraine has become a benefit

for drones and all kinds of reconnaissance devices .
The location of the unit is calculated by the movement
of military personnel, smoke and reflection of the
islands, piles of rubbish in positions - anything that
looks unnatural and stands out in the area. Snipers
and heavy weapon gunners use the same principle
to select a target . To avoid becoming their target,
14
it is necessary to observe the main principle of camouflage - not

stand out.
You shouldn’t show off and stand out among your colleagues in
uniform. New or fancy equipment is sure to attract the attention of the
enemy, who will mistake you for a commander or a tough special forces
soldier. Therefore, before putting on a new uniform, it must be thoroughly
washed several times with a brush. After this, it will acquire a softness and
color that is pleasant to the body, blurring the contours of the figure in any
terrain.
Another unmasking sign is your shadow. It is

better to stand and move along the shady side of the
street so that your silhouette and the cast shadow do
not contrast with the general background.
In forests or plantings you need to move at a distance
from the edge, behind the second third row of trees.
13. Don’t bother wandering around
The main unmasking sign on the front line is

movement. A fighter sitting in a covered trench or trench like a fox hole,
and even lying motionless in a firing position, is not visible to the enemy.
He becomes a target as soon as he starts roaming around the position.
If you have to move to the front line, then

do not wave your arms, keep your elbows, hands and weapons
close to the body. This helps hide the contours of the figure.
And further. The active movement of cars and

people in uniform reveals the location of the headquarters,
warehouse, canteen - places where personnel gather.
And this is a priority target for enemy artillery. Try to
avoid such places near the front line and unnecessarily there
don't wander around.
15
14. Are you bored? Wait, it will arrive
Don't bunch up. The desire of people to stick

together in a group in times of danger makes you a group
shenyu.
The movement of even a small group in a column

one at a time with an interval of 4–6 steps arouses the
interest of the reconnaissance drone operator and is
guaranteed to end with an artillery attack. To avoid such
defeat, the Afghan Mujahideen moved in pairs with an
interval of up to 100–150 meters. A group of 2 people is not
as noticeable as a squad or platoon and does not represent
of great interest as a target for artillery.
15. We don’t need this kind of movie
In addition to unmanned and radar reconnaissance

equipment, our enemy actively uses video surveillance
equipment - from cameras on the roads to smartphones
in schoolchildren. This “movie” delivers intelligence
information to military firing positions in real time.
Tivnik
In order not to become a “movie hero” in someone else’s sight, you must
constantly monitor the area around your location
provisions
First, check areas where there may be observers or CCTV cameras. As a

rule, these are hills dominating the area, factory chimneys, buildings from which a
view of your location opens , poles at intersections or road sections with maximum
visibility, power line supports.
Detected observers or suspicious ambushes are

immediately destroyed by all available means of
destruction. CCTV Cameras
16
it is enough to de-energize by interrupting the electrical wires

nutrition.
As for students with smartphones, for starters,

you can ask the camera to view it and “accidentally”
drop it on the asphalt. After 5–6 such “views” of the shooting
stop.
16. If the local greyhounds
All protests, sabotage, espionage and sabotage by

the local population in the liberated territories are carried
out from the command centers of the Armed Forces of
Ukraine and the SBU. This means that, in accordance with
the First Additional Protocol to the 1978 Geneva
Conventions, Article 45, protesters can be considered
combatants who do not distinguish themselves by uniform, insignia, etc.
This makes it possible to detain local residents, preventing
ensuring that our military personnel perform their official duties, and
treat them as prisoners of war, and in the event that locals pose a
threat to the life and health of soldiers, open fire on them to kill.
Article 46 of the same First Additional Protocol

to the IV Geneva Convention allows us to consider
all locals who take photographs and videos of our
positions as potential spies. And this, in conditions of
hostilities, deprives them of even the right to be considered
prisoners of war with all the ensuing consequences...
But! Shooting unarmed people is not our method.
There are dozens of ways to define your status quo.
Protesters and those who film our objects, for example,
You can detain them as prisoners of war, carry out investigative
actions with them, and place them at the disposal of the
competent authorities. The main thing is to act quickly,
decisively and with the ingenuity characteristic of our people.
17
17. An idiot with a cell phone is his own enemy
Any activation of a mobile phone in a combat zone

leads to the detection of the subscriber, the
establishment of his geolocation and a subsequent artillery strik
by location.
The fact is that when used in a smartphone
without a SIM card, an automatic connection to a nearby tower occurs
and the Ukrainian cellular operator, seeing your Russian number, takes
its bearing, determining its location with an accuracy of up to 3 meters.
Furthermore. Having detected your phone number, the Ukrainian

mobile operator just needs to enter it into the NT-Locator application
and start a search, after which not only current geolocation and
movement data become available , but also information about the
subscriber himself , including last name and home address. . Therefore,
do not be surprised if, after a telephone call from the front line, your
position is shelled, and your family receives calls with threats, insults
and extortion of money.
18. Photos on social networks are a godsend for a spy
The location of your smartphone can also be

determined by geotags - data in social networks for sharing photos
and video.
“If a user specified a location when publishing photo and video
content, then any other user automatically gets access not only to the
image, but also to the place where the photo was taken.”
The problem is that in the information about the image

(EXIF data), smartphones with a GPS module indicate the
shooting date, day and exact time, country, city, address,
GPS coordinates of latitude and longitude. And if the photo was taken
18
inside the building, then also the exact address indicating the
street name, house number and even postal code.
The Ukrainian operator can only upload your photos to
the EXIF data viewing service and send you a 152 mm caliber
parcel post or a package of “Haymars”.
19. Why is artillery fire dangerous?
The Armed Forces of Ukraine are armed with Soviet and

foreign systems of cannon and rocket artillery and mortars
similar to them in characteristics .
A cannon artillery shell and mine make a sound as they
approach, reminiscent of the flapping wings of a dove. The
sound of a flying rocket resembles the noise of slate being
pulled across sand. The sound of a rupture is sharp, short ,
with a characteristic crack of tearing metal. At the site of the
shell explosion, a black cloud of a mixture of dust and burnt
explosives, up to 2–3 meters high, is formed. For a mine - up
to a meter.
When the most common thing among the Ukrainian Armed Forces is undermined -
A 122 mm high-explosive fragmentation projectile produces

400–500 lethal fragments (weighing at least 5 grams). Half of
them go into the ground and fly outside the affected area,
losing their destructive power.
Effective damage radius on hard ground—
30 meters. On soft soils, when a crater is formed 1 meter deep
and 2 meters wide, the damage radius is reduced to 10 meters.
The scattering of fragments reaches 400 meters. Damage
factors of a 152 mm projectile 1.5 times
higher.
When detonated, an 82 mm mortar fragmentation mine

produces 150–200 lethal fragments with a damage radius of at
least 18 m. The scattering of individual fragments can reach
100–150 meters. The diameter of the funnel at rupture is up to 80 cm.
19
depth - about 10 cm. The damaging factors of a 120

mm mortar mine are 1.5 times higher.
20. An artillery attack is not as terrible as they say about it
Calculations show that to defeat a platoon in open

areas, only 160 122 mm shells are required , or 8–10
per soldier. But to hit 75% of targets in an equipped
platoon stronghold, 1,250 high-explosive fragmentation
shells are required. In terms of 60 shells per fighter.
Taking into account the packaging, this is almost 2.5
tons, which still need to be delivered to the guns,
unloaded, and loaded into the barrel.
Rice. 1 Results of artillery shelling of the department’s position

nia. They lay down in a bunch, but they all missed. Not a single soldier in the trench was injured.
The conclusion is simple. An artillery attack is not

as terrible as the reaction of unprepared military
personnel to it. Even a primitive trench for prone
shooting, or a shell crater, reduces the risk of death or
injury by 10 times. A steel helmet and body armor protect
the vital organs of a person from most
20
fragments. The armor of armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles cannot be penetrated by
fragments of shells and mines.
And further. A howitzer battery needs a full 5 minutes to

fire 160 shells at an identified target, and we have enough
time to take cover from artillery fire or leave the affected area.
21. Signs of an impending artillery attack
The appearance of unmanned aerial vehicles in the sky

above a unit may be a harbinger of an imminent artillery strike.
The explosion of a smoke shell (white smoke) near our

positions means artillery sighting—determining settings for
shooting to kill.
Twin shell explosions near our positions, one—
with overshoot, the other with undershoot. The enemy uses a
fork - a technique to capture a target at range.
Urgently take cover or change position.
22. Preventing an artillery attack is difficult, but it is possible
As a rule, an artillery attack is carried out against a

previously identified target, so do not become a target,
disguise yourself .
Adjustment of fire indicates the presence of observers
or technical means of artillery reconnaissance (drones,
quadcopters, cameras recording on roads , etc.).
Quadcopters can be destroyed by concentrated

heavy fire from the unit even from small arms
weapons. It is more difficult to control the front line of
defense with light and medium UAVs. Funds are needed here
Electronic warfare and air defense.
21
Artillery spotters can be located within the line

of sight in objects dominating the terrain, from which
a good overview of the positions opens. Their
presence is established by observers and suppressed
by fire from standard equipment.
divisions.
23. During an artillery attack, the main thing is calm
Ukrainian artillerymen usually fire in “series ”: 2-3

shots, a 3-4 minute pause to make adjustments, then
again 4-6 shots for finishing. As a rule, there are no more
than three such series.
If the artillery fire is rapid with a high consumption of
ammunition, it means that our artillery is working and we
urgently need to establish cooperation to stop this “friendly
fire”.
At the first sign of shelling, immediately fall to the
ground or dive into cover (under armor, into a trench, a
depression in the ground, a shell crater, a permanent
structure).
Do not try to hide from the artillery attack under the
trees . The fuse of the projectile (mine) will go off when it
hits the branches and creates an air explosion, increasing
the affected area.
Moving by crawling. No running around or panicking.
If you come under artillery and mortar fire while
marching, then leave the affected area at full speed. It
is difficult for enemy artillerymen to calculate and
conduct moving fire. Stopping-
by shaking, you turn into an ideal, motionless
target.
Provide assistance to the wounded after shelling

and in shelter, otherwise you will need help.
22
24. The cat has 9 lives, but the sapper has one!
The second reason for our losses after the artillery of the
Ukrainian Armed Forces was mines. There are several rules
when working to detect and neutralize them :
1. Do not disassemble ammunition, do not experiment with it, and
do not try to disarm any explosive devices found.
2. Watch where you're going. First, study the route

at eye level to see if there is any fishing line or wire
stretched to an explosive device. Then look at your feet.
A PMN hidden in the ground is, of course, difficult to see,
but the PFM-1 Lepestok mine is quite visible.
3. Bypassing destroyed sections of the road along the sides may
be mined.
4. Near the site where the equipment was detonated there will probably be
another 2-3 minutes.
5. The corpses of our soldiers on enemy territory
are most likely mined for unloading. Before
evacuation, they are moved from their place using a cable
or ropes.
6. The first question that is asked to a prisoner is
where in the defense system of his unit the mines are installed.
7. Stretch grenades will not protect you from enemy DRGs .
Specialists will remove them without any problems, but their own
the servants are guaranteed to be blown up.
25. Military traffic rules
To avoid losses on the march, you should follow

simple rules:
— the distance between cars is at least 30 meters. This will
eliminate the possibility of hitting columns with concentrated artillery fire;
23
— to repel attacks on the flank of the column from ambush ,

the barrels of standard weapons of military equipment (tanks, infantry
fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers) are deployed in a
“herringbone” pattern. Odd- numbered cars - barrel to the right, at an
angle of 45o in the direction of travel, even-numbered - to the left. This provides
immediate concentration of fire to kill
enemy;
— the personnel are located inside the armored personnel
carrier (BMP), and not on top. The armor serves as a reliable shelter
from bullets and shrapnel , and the lack of crowding on the armor
eliminates, in the event of confusion, losses from one’s own fire;
—observation over the armor, hidden up to the waist in
hatches, is carried out by the vehicle commander (in the
direction of movement ) and two observers (on both sides of
the road). They also participate in repelling with standard weapons fire
enemy attacks.
The experience of combat operations in Afghanistan and the
North Caucasus has shown that single movement (even of combat
vehicles) increases the risk of them being attacked by enemy DRGs.
26. The night is dark and full of horrors
The advent of night vision sights (NVGs), including

thermal imaging ones, has given rise to a lot of rumors
about their exceptional effectiveness. In fact, all night-time
devices are more useful as observation devices , but they
are not very useful for effective fire. Too many conditions
must be met to successfully use such a night light.
Among them are the possibility of its alignment on the weapon,

the condition of the batteries, combat factors affecting operation, etc.
Constant use of NVGs tires, blinds the observer and
makes him a target. The pupil of the NVD eyepiece
illuminates the observer with a greenish reflection, good
24
observable through other devices. Therefore, you should

turn on the NVG only when necessary.
To protect yourself from an enemy with NVGs, you must,
firstly, observe blackout. Do not light a fire or smoke. In a “night
light”, the light of a cigarette is visible at a distance of up to 500
meters, a burning match - up to a kilometer, light from a fire - up
to 8 kilometers.
Secondly, don't make noise. A person’s steps on soft
ground can be heard up to 30 meters. Coughing and speaking -
up to 100 meters. The scream and noise of a running diesel engine -
up to 1000 meters.
Thirdly, you need to choose low or closed places to move
at night, and avoid bright clearings. Move from cover to cover.
And further. NVDs are illuminated by bright light sources.

A bright fire in the neutral zone, illuminating rocket cartridges
launched along a flat trajectory towards the enemy, force him
to stop observation and protect the lens of his device.
27. Bullet is a fool
In combat operations in Ukraine, losses from small arms

fire amount to 12%. Less than half of them (or 5% of the total
loss statistics) died. Such low efficiency of small arms fire is
characteristic of all recent wars . For every person killed in the
Great Patriotic War, there were about 25,000 industrially
produced cartridges, in Vietnam - already 250,000. And this, by
the way, is 2.5 tons.
The low performance is explained by the psychological

unpreparedness of the soldiers for real combat. Most often ,
they fire towards the enemy without aiming, from the living
25
the one from the chest above the head, “burning” incredible
number of cartridges.
28. Bam-bang... and past
More about shooting. The effective firing range of modern types of

small arms from an unprepared position does not exceed 150 meters,
and the maximum hits are recorded at a distance of up to 75 meters.
Let us also take into account the features of automatic

Russian fire, characterized not only by increased ammunition consumption,
but most importantly by large dispersion of bullets. If at 100 meters the
first bullet from a machine gun hits the center of the waist target, then the
second one flies 60–70 cm higher and to the right. The third and fourth
bullets pass already 1.5–2 meters from the target.
Shooting combat, of course, is not for the weak, but you shouldn’t
be afraid of it either. Irreversible losses in such a battle, during the Afghan
war, for example, turned out to be less than 0.05% of the total number of
Soviet soldiers who passed it
warriors
29. Attention! The sniper is working.
So, on average, half a Ural round of ammunition is needed to take

down a fighter. A good sniper spends no more than two bullets to hit a
target.
This is why neither our own nor others like snipers. They -
a headache for everyone. The enemy is kept in suspense by
sniper fire, while our own people live in anticipation of mandatory
responsibility for his deeds.
Signs of a sniper:
- any bullet hit to the head;
26
-hit against the background of sound masking -artillery-

lerian or grenade launcher shot, etc.;
—selective bullet damage to an officer, signalman , observer;
- a single shot at the wall next to your position at some

noticeable spot. This is shooting at a specific landmark with
determining the range;
—shooting the last fighter in the group, so that those in front

would not understand what was happening;
—non-fatal wounding of a fighter with subsequent defeat of
everyone who assists him;
- shooting of curious people who fell for the bait in the form
of specially planted goodies - canned food, cigarettes, bottles, etc.;
—the appearance of a quadcopter over your position during

shelling. The second number of the sniper pair is working with him .
He adjusts the fire.
30. Where is the sniper hiding?
In broken armored vehicles. Fire and smoke remain

inside, the sound is muffled.
At the edge of the forest (planting) behind small
bushes or behind hanging tree branches so that the flash
and the smoke from the shot did not escape beyond these branches.
From the depths of the premises located on the shadow
side of the building. In this case, the shooter is almost invisible,
and to hide the flash of the shot, snipers hide behind furniture.
In the window opening of a building, you should look for a

sniper in the lower right (from you) corner behind his natural cover
(corner of a window, window sill, wall) which will
to his left.
27
In a trench under a fallen or specially placed

concrete slab, protecting from stray bullets
and fragments.
Previously, snipers often used an artificial stump; modern

shooters use an old tire. The embrasure in it is disguised as a natural
impulse.
31. Fight against an enemy sniper
It all comes down to finding a sniper position and

pouring in everything that flies, burns and explodes.
1. Calculation of the sector in which the sniper works:

The most immediate thing is the report of the observer who
noticed the shot. If you missed it, then we start interviewing witnesses to
the bullet defeat of our soldier, studying the trajectory of the bullet’s
arrival upon impact;
The sniper is issued by his support group (from 1–2 to 5–7 people)
and the sniper’s assistant’s quadcopters. The drone flies for no more
than 20–30 minutes and returns as soon as
rule to the operator.
2. Determining the distance to the sniper position:

After determining the sniper’s sector of work based on data on the
effective distance of bullet shooting (hitting the head - 50-100 meters;
hitting the body - up to 300 meters; fire “terrorism” (shooting at everything
that protrudes ) - up to 500-600 meters) The approximate location of
the sniper's position is established.
3.Sniper Suppression
The best solution is massive shelling from heavy
guns, mortars or MLRS in order to “plow up ” the
detection square. Fire is very effective
28
standard tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel

carriers. Salvo fire from RPGs and grenade launchers or
something as exotic as bringing in counter-sniper units will do. If they
there are, of course.
4. Anti-sniper prevention.
Having discovered any suspicious position near your
positions that is suitable for hiding an enemy sniper (an
embrasure in the wall, a crack, etc.), you should bombard
it with fire from tank guns, infantry fighting vehicles,
armored personnel carriers, RPGs and regularly fire from
small arms, creating a threat to the enemy sniper,
especially before our attack .
32. How to behave in places where a sniper works
Don't lean out of cover. Any movement is only by

running from cover to cover.
Determine places where terrain features favor the
work of an enemy sniper, and place signs there with the
inscription: “Attention! Enemy sniper is at work! During the
war years this saved many lives.
A wounded person by a sniper is evacuated from an
open area using armored vehicles (if there is no risk of
being hit by anti-tank fire) by being dragged from cover
with a rope and a climbing carbine.
If you need to drag a load across an open, shot-
through area, do it lightly by running or crawling through
the dangerous place, and then pull up the heavy object
on a rope.
29
33. Don't indulge in sniping
Even if you are an excellent shooter and operate

as part of a unit, do not conduct the so-called “hunt”
from your location. The enemy will soon get tired of
your shooting and an artillery or mortar strike of
retaliation will definitely fall on the heads of your colleagues.
Act either as part of your unit,
or from a separate position.
34. Personal weapon
The choice of personal weapons for a participant in a

special military operation in Ukraine is limited. Most often these
are AKM, AK-74 and their modifications.
The 7.62mm AKM is heavier. Thanks to the powerful
cartridge, it is not sensitive to dirt and powder deposits. The
5.45mm AK-74 is lighter. It is more comfortable to shoot
from it. If you still have a choice, then it is optimal to take a
weapon for the ammunition used in your unit.
35. Problems with shooting accuracy from an AK
A Kalashnikov assault rifle correctly brought to normal

combat allows you to confidently hit the handle of an aluminum
spoon at 100 m. As for the complaints about the low efficiency
of machine gun fire, the main problem is a person’s psychological
unpreparedness for a meaningful perception of combat and,
oddly enough, an excess of cartridges.
A Red Army soldier reached Berlin with 70 rounds

of portable ammunition for his mosquito. Experienced
auto- matchers during the Great Patriotic War said that
one disk for 71 cartridges in a drum was enough for them.
thirty
PPSh store. And it's not a lack of ammunition. Pro-

one hundred, the more experienced and brave the warrior, the less often he shoots.
And if he fires, then for sure. You need to shoot
intelligently in battle . In short, 2-round bursts or
single bursts, while changing position.
36. Sight "3" and aim for the waist
The basis of marksmanship is determining the distance to

the target. In the turmoil of battle there is no time to calculate the
thousandth formula. Therefore, an experienced warrior sets the
rear sight on the aiming bar of the machine gun to the number
“3”, which corresponds to a range of 300 meters, and aims at the
middle of the enemy’s figure. At the same time, at a distance of
100 meters, the excess of the point of impact over the aiming
point will be 25 cm for the AKM, and 13 cm for the AK-74 (this is
for those who want to break the handle of a spoon).
If this is too difficult for someone, feel free to set the rear
sight on the sighting bar to the “P” position. It corresponds to the
direct shot range (440 m for AK-74, 350 m for AKM) when the
height of the bullet trajectory is not greater than the height of the
chest target, and the shooter can fire without taking into account
vertical corrections.
37. If I don’t see, I don’t shoot
Constant moral and physical stress, fatigue, poor

visibility—these factors in combat seriously affect the
psyche of a combatant. There is a desire to shoot at
everything that may pose a threat. And then there is
the advice of the “experienced” - to wet everything that moves
Always keep the cartridge in the chamber, shoot for every rustle.
The result of this “science” is killed and wounded colleagues.
31
Usually they shoot without seeing the target, unfired

novices or complete cowards. If the former can still be taught,
then you should stay away from the latter. They pose no less of
a threat than the enemy.
And the crazy gunfire is a great opportunity...
It is impossible for the enemy to open our positions and launch
a mortar or artillery strike on them. Therefore, adherence to the
principle “if I don’t see, I don’t shoot” should become the main
rule of any fighter. Do not allow co-workers to hold weapons
loaded, swing them in different directions, or point them at a co-
worker. Even as a joke. Constantly maintain voice contact with
your co-workers . Don't shoot without seeing the target.
38. I shoot and I hit

Several life hacks for shooting combat.
In case of an unexpected collision with an enemy or in
conditions of limited visibility - in the forest, in tall grass, in an
unmown field - shoot low, at the knee level of the intended
enemy. He most likely lay down or crouched down so as not to
be a target.
It is better to fire in a building from the depths of the room.
This muffles the sound of the shot and the flash becomes less
noticeable.
Approximately 90% of the world's population is right-handed. That's why
shooting at the flash of a shot from the enemy,
move the aiming point half a figure to the right.
You should look for the arrow in the window opening of the building
in the lower right corner of you - because the natural shelter
for him - the corner of the window and the wall, will be on the left
From him.
For a right-handed person, turning to the right is much more

inconvenient to shoot than turning to the left. This is psychophysiological
32
peculiarity of his body. Therefore, in battle, it is better to go

around the corners of buildings counterclockwise, staying
away from these corners. With such a movement, the
enemy loses his advantage.
Staying in one place during a shooting battle without
changing position means exposing yourself to additional risk.
It has been established that only a fifth of the personnel

in battle acts intelligently and conducts targeted fire. As a rule,
these are commanders, snipers, and machine gunners. When
such fighters are identified in enemy positions, they are
destroyed by concentrated fire from all the unit's assets. After
this, the enemy loses combat stability.
39. Sometimes it happens...
Even the most reliable weapons require maintenance

and care. The main reasons for delays when firing from a
Kalashnikov assault rifle are a malfunction of the magazine
and contamination of the rubbing parts of the weapon’s mechanisms.
The faulty magazine is replaced with another, and the dirty
The failure of the mechanisms is eliminated by cleaning them.
Ideally, of course, clean the weapon after each shooting,
which is unlikely in combat conditions. And you can’t find RJ
weapon lubricant. Under these conditions, you can use
kerosene, diesel fuel, WD-40 and even soap solution. The
main thing then is to wipe the parts of the weapon thoroughly
and dry so that there are no traces of them left, which become
“overgrown” with dust and cause delays. Under no
circumstances should you lubricate your weapon with
automobile, transmission, or especially vegetable oils. Having
thickened, they tightly “glue” the moving mechanisms of the
weapon together.
33
40. AK and weapon tuning
The brilliant designer Kalashnikov created a

reliable and convenient machine gun, in which there
is nothing superfluous that could cling, interfere or
create discomfort for the owner. The machine is
perfectly balanced for its design features. Therefore,
tuning a machine gun with all sorts of devices has no
functional significance , but is an elementary show-off
of people who are far from real participation in hostilities.
Picatinny rails injure your palms when they catch, tear
clothing, and when crawling over they contribute to
contamination of the weapon. A collimator sight, unlike a
standard mechanical one, limits the view and does not allow
the shooter to instantly transfer fire to another distance. On the
3rd–4th day, as a rule, it simply gets lost, becoming loose in
its fastenings. Expensive flash suppressors and DTK do not
contribute in any way to increasing accuracy, but they upset
the balance of the weapon and make it heavier.
By the twin magazines, connected with adhesive tape or
duct tape, you can recognize staff members or newcomers
trying to look like tough fighters. In fact, paired stores are a
sign of uncertainty and even fear. They say that their owner
has not been in a real battle and does not understand that
such magazines carry risks of contamination and breakdown,
upset the balance of the weapon, and make accurate shooting impossib
41. Military majors against combat bums
There is no universal military uniform. The main

requirement for it is the strength of the fabric and ease of wear.
shenii.
The fashion that has come to us is for military

uniforms with many pockets, zippers, patches, knee pads, etc.
34
takes place after the first two to three weeks of actual

participation in hostilities.
The most important thing when choosing clothing for
war is that it does not differ from the uniform of your unit, and
the army as a whole. Otherwise, there is a high risk of falling
under friendly fire from your own colleagues who received you.
for the enemy.
Experience has suggested the need to wear
elastic, moisture-wicking thermal underwear under
uniform all year round . It creates comfort, saves
from abrasions, minor bruises, scratches, and insect bites.
42. Sneakers, ankle boots or boots
The special operation in Ukraine presented a number of special

requirements for military footwear. Firstly, all-season and waterproof.
Secondly, tensile strength and reliable protection of the legs from injury.
Thirdly, the sole must be hard, provide good grip, and not be pierced by
broken glass, rebar or sharp objects.
pieces of metal.
For these reasons, sneakers that have proven themselves well
in Afghanistan are not suitable for the Ukrainian theater of operations.
Uniform boots with a high top “hold ” the ankle
well and protect the legs from cuts and injuries. This is
where their advantages end. In the Ukrainian climate
they “die” after a couple of months of operation.
Tactical trekking boots are lighter, more comfortable , have
moisture-wicking properties and good grip on the ground. These boots
reduce the risk of getting bloody blisters on your feet. But the truly cool
“Lowa” and “Haix” are unavailable due to the price of 25-30 thousand
rubles, and in times of mud they last no longer than government-issued
ankle boots.
35
In these conditions, it is worth thinking about cowhide boots

and foot wraps. By the way, during the winter Arden operation,
the Germans who wore boots suffered from pneumonia four
times less often than the Americans who wore boots.
43. Footcloth friend
Socks “live” in boots for two to three days. Therefore, in a

situation where they have become unusable and there are no
spare ones, you can use foot wraps that are made of soft fabric.
From sheets, shirts, T-shirts, etc. 2 strips of fabric measuring

35x75 centimeters are cut out. It is important that they are without
seams and scars that rub the legs.
Footcloth fills more space in shoes. If it gets wet, it is easy
to wrap it with the dry side on the foot and the wet side on the
shin, which minimizes abrasions during long walking.
It is acceptable to wear damp boots with dry socks and foot

wraps, but not vice versa. While driving,
you can dry socks and foot wraps on the body, under the top
layer of clothing.
44. A soldier does not need extra property
No matter how weapons and military technologies change ,

the weight of 30–35 kg of equipment worn by a soldier remains
stable for 150 years in almost all armies of the world.
What a fighter really needs to have with him:

— standard weapons and ammunition (12 kg);
— helmet and body armor (9 kg);
— unloading vest (1 kg)
— small infantry shovel (1.5 kg);
36
— water — 1.5 l minimum;

— dry rations (2 daily rations) (2 kg);
— raincoat tent (1.5 kg);
— army bowler with a spoon (0.5 kg);
— socks (2 pairs);
- first aid kit;
— toiletries (0.5 kg);

— uniform, boots, belt (3.5 kg);
— raid backpack (3.5 kg);
Total: 37 kg.
And commanders require that the fighter carry

an additional ammo, 10 offensive and defensive
grenades, ammunition for the unit’s heavy weapons, etc.
You can't fight with that kind of weight. Therefore, the wise warrior himself
carefully decides how to limit the load on the spine.
As a rule, to solve a combat mission not related to combat

in the city, 4 magazines for a machine gun and 2 grenades in
unloading, 1.5 liters of water and one small infantry shovel for
two are enough. Total, with the form - 15 kg. Body armor and
helmet (9 kg)—optional. The rest is stored in a backpack and
transported in a combat vehicle.
However, if the battle finds you on the march, in full
equipment, without regret, discard everything unnecessary,
leave your weapons and ammunition. You'll collect the rest
Later.
45. 150 years in service
In the Tsarist and Soviet Armies, all the soldier’s

property was placed in a duffel bag made of tent fabric
with a volume of about 30 liters. As 150 years of
experience in its operation shows, nothing better can be invented.
37
elk. Brilliantly simple design. It is used as a backpack,

as a filter for water purification, a bag on the head to
accompany a prisoner, a crayfish trap and everything
that a soldier’s ingenuity is capable of.
Own weight—240 grams. The ideal usable
volume allows you to fit everything a fighter needs. If
necessary, a peacoat and a sleeping bag are attached
to the side straps. All. Nothing extra about it
you can't shove it in.
The quilted straps of the duffel bag do not injure and at the same time
do not interfere with aimed shooting with emphasis on the shoulder. The
bag is convenient as a rest for shooting from a prone position. If necessary,
it is not a pity to abandon him and act lightly.
Not fashionable, not aesthetically pleasing, but cheap and practical.
46. Always keep it with you
Small infantry (sapper) shovel is a fighter’s best friend
You can't survive in war without a sapper's shovel. A fighter must

constantly dig in. The sapper's shovel is an excellent tool for chopping
blows. It can be used as an armor plate and even a frying pan for cooking.
The main condition for the multifunctionality of a shovel is

sharp blade. You won’t get much work done with a dull
shovel, just like with dumb people . The lower and side ribs
from the front (concave) side are sharpened on MPL , the
chamfer width is 3–5 mm.
A knife is an absolute necessity for everyone.

In 99 cases out of 100, you will only need a knife
for slicing bread, sausage, or peeling potatoes. Fine,
38
of course, if you have a multitool, but it will not replace a simple one
a kitchen knife with a blade up to 15 cm. And as for the fighters
with “tactical” gut cutters sticking out ostentatiously from the
unloadings, then these are like the feathers in the tail of a
peacock. More for impressions.
Gloves - universal hand protection

The hands account for the majority of injuries and
wounds , and any tactical gloves with protective elements
will protect them from injuries, cuts, and burns.
Full-fingered gloves are better than fingerless ones, but fingerless ones are
more convenient to shoot.
If there are no tactical gloves, workers will successfully
replace them, especially when digging trenches - 25 rubles
per pair.
Important little things
“Knipser” is the correct name for nail clippers. Without

care, nails will break, causing pain and inconvenience.
Utensils: pot, spoon, mug (preferably stainless steel).
Matches (preferably travel matches, long- burning),

lighter.
Scotch tape (roll). A very useful thing!
47. Without water, neither here nor there
In winter, a person needs about 2 liters of water per

day, and in the heat this norm increases to 4 liters. Lack of
water causes fatigue. Therefore, whenever possible, a
soldier should stock up on water. 1.5 liters is an individual
water reserve, which must be stored in every soldier’s duffel
bag.
39
A combat vehicle (usually in plastic canisters,

tanks, etc.) carries a supply of water of up to 100 liters per
department.
Where to get water.

First, study the map of the area where wells, springs, streams, lakes,
and rivers are marked. Such water is conditionally suitable for consumption,
but after boiling or filtering it is completely suitable. In this case, it is good
to have a portable filter for purifying water in extreme conditions. (See
Appendix: “DIY Water Filter”).
In populated areas, water must be sought at the fire department,

hospitals, and sanitary and epidemiological stations. There are special
storage facilities for disinfected water.
After turning off the pumps, a considerable amount of water remains
in the water pipes in the basements of high-rise buildings. Especially those
located in the lowlands.
You should drink water as thirst arises in small portions, no more than
100–150 g. Anything more will immediately come out later in the heat.
48. War is war, but lunch is on schedule
Participation in combat operations is hard work that requires

enormous energy expenditure from the body. Therefore, our dry ration (IRP),
depending on the menu, contains from 4200 to 4700 kcal and provides the
body with a sufficient amount of nutrients. But this is in theory.
In fact, there are two problems with dry ration. First -

it happens that he is not there. Secondly, it quickly becomes boring. And the
dry ration weighs more than 2 kg and takes up a fair amount of space in the
backpack.
In Afghanistan, when soldiers went on raids in the mountains, on
landing missions, or to comb green stuff, they took the most energetically

soups and porridges with compotes. At the same time, the

weight was reduced threefold, and the energy value was
reduced by only 1.5 times. Additional food was provided by
food obtained during the fighting.
As a rule, they ate twice a day—early in the morning
and after sunset. We tried to diversify the diet and prepare
hot food (See in the Appendix: “Kulesh”, “Unleavened
wheat cakes”, “Baked potatoes in foil on coals”).
The optimal dish is kulesh. Thick soup made from

everything in the backpack plus cereal (any). Flatbreads
are made from flour . They are prepared for the entire
squad - in the evening, in shelter, with camouflage, or in abandoned
residents of private houses with stoves.
Hot food invigorates the body, is absorbed much

better and breaks down quickly without bloating and the
accompanying problems - constipation or indigestion.
In addition to gastronomic advantages, such food
organization contributes to team unity, caring for
comrades, and increasing the combat readiness of the unit.
49. Creeping enemies.
During the Second World War, 96 out of 100 soldiers

suffered from lice. The basis of the army of parasites were
body lice. In addition to the discomfort from unbearable
itching, they suffer from infectious diseases - “trench
fever” and typhus. The number of victims of these diseases
exceeded combat losses.
Existing effective sanitation products , as well as
chemicals for fighting parasites on the front line, are often
not available.
Our soldiers found an ingenious solution to this
problem . In a clean barrel (large pan) on such
41
height, so that the form placed on them does not touch the
bottom or walls, two pieces of wood were inserted crosswise
exactly along the diameter. After that, clothes that were
subject to disinfestation were hung on them and tightly closed with a lid.
The barrel was placed on the stones and a fire was lit
under it . After half an hour in a hot barrel, all the parasites
died.
There are also known methods of fighting lice, such as
boiling a mold for a long time, up to an hour, washing in
gasoline, freezing (up to 12 hours in the refrigerator) and
burying in the ground, in which a small edge is left at the top
on which lice collect for subsequent destruction.
And one more detail. It has been noticed that the

advancing army suffers less from head lice. Active, determined,
cheerful fighters practically do not have lice. But they can
often be found among cowards and whiners.
50. Rules for a military “tenant”
In conditions of total reconnaissance conducted by our

The enemy, of course, is best placed in populated
areas, on the territory of industrial enterprises with a
system of basements and bomb shelters. Equipment takes cover
in the workshops.
It is necessary to be located in the private sector in the

2nd or 3rd line of houses, while placing security 50–100
meters from the outskirts of the village.
Choose a house with a basement and a water source
(well). It is better if the basement is located outside the house
and stands separately. It will be a reliable shelter in case of
shelling.
Do not stay in the most conspicuous and large
houses. They were most likely targeted or mined. Our
42
intelligence officer Ilya Starinov destroyed German

headquarters by mining such buildings during the war. And
today Ukrainian missilemen are destroying ours where the
commanders did not teach military history, they love luxury and comfort.
Do not set up a position next to a clearly marked landmark
(corner of a grove, power line, separate building, house on the
outskirts of a settlement, administration , etc. This place will be
hit by the first artillery shot, because its coordinates are easily
calculated on the map.
If you happen to be located in a field or steppe, then don’t

be lazy. Swarm a main position and a couple of false ones, into
which you dump garbage and household waste, and light a fire
there if necessary—in short, you demonstrate active habitation.
On the main one there is a minimum of movement . Finding 2-3
company support positions is hellish work, but this is a sure way
to deceive enemy reconnaissance and artillery in order to
survive.
In all cases, military equipment, as experience shows,
is better to withdraw from positions so as not to provoke fire
artillery and cover no less than a kilometer from the main
of the main supporter, providing 2–3 routes of extension to it.
51. I dug in and stayed alive
During an artillery attack, the chances of a soldier surviving in a trench are 10 times higher
higher than that of someone who is not entrenched, and due to

the massive use of long-range weapons by the enemy, the
concepts of frontline and rear are blurred. It's dangerous
everywhere now . Therefore, those who actually fought do not
consider it shameful to dig a trench for themselves.
At a halt during a march, on the front line, when it is
not possible to build a unit stronghold, in places where the
second echelon is deployed - as a rule,
43
trenches are dug at least 1 meter deep and 80–90 cm

wide so that two people can sleep side by side, warming
each other, and the width of the raincoat is enough to
protect them from bad weather.
Coniferous branches, straw, etc., laid on the bottom
will save you from dampness. If conditions permit, the
trench is covered with branches, slate, and plywood is
sprinkled with soil, which serves as shelter from small
fragments. In the cold season, in such a trench you can
place a “Polaris” or a mini-rocket stove (See in the
Appendix “Reconnaissance Fire (smokeless), “Swedish
candle - the simplest fireplace”, “Polaris”, “Rocket stove”).
If there is time, the trench is equipped with a
“fox hole ”—a niche in the side wall facing the enemy.
Sometimes, when equipping platoon and company
strongholds , commanders use equipment that is not
suitable for such work. Most often, road graders. As a
result, instead of a narrow trench protecting fighters from
bullets and shrapnel, they get a crooked hole with
crumbling edges. It does not save from artillery fire, from destructio
it does not cover the surveillance quadcopter, and in bad
weather it turns into a muddy pond. Not a shelter, but a
trap for his own unit.
Rice. 2. Drainage groove on Rice. 3. Blocked drainage

bottom of the trench ditch at the bottom of the trench
44
Another ambush during the construction of supports is

associated with the lack of drainage at the bottom of the trench.
Without it, the trenches fill with water and mud when it rains, which
creates discomfort for the inhabitants.
A drainage ditch to the depth of a spade bayonet (20
cm) is dug out along the entire length of the trench at its back
side and goes to the lowest place of the support, where a
drainage well is installed (See Fig. 2). The damp and viscous
bottom of the trench is covered with gravel, sand or straw.
In the presence of time material and water material
a drainage ditch is installed in the middle of the trench,
covering it with a flooring of boards or poles (See Fig. 3).
52. Trench—5 stars
Where combat operations have acquired a positional

character, and fighters are forced to live in damp trenches
for months, if you are not lazy, you can get comfortable.
To do this , abandoned vehicles are buried in the ground
at the position - a minibus, a passenger station wagon, a
bread truck hut. Anything will do.
The seats are thrown out of the cabin, the floor is
leveled with flooring and the extra-comfort berths are ready.
This “ hotel” doesn’t care about precipitation, cold, falling
soil or groundwater . And if the trench is well deepened, camouflaged
and securely cover it from above, then it can be considered
as a dugout of a high comfort class.
53. Hiking out of necessity
In these conditions, the enemy’s constant

reconnaissance of targets using drones and mining of
the routes of advance of our troops turn a trip out of
necessity into a kind of quest with an unpredictable result.
45
The traces of this activity, so to speak, carried by the

wind across the fields and plantings , unmask defensive
positions, and in order not to “fly in” at the most
inconvenient moment, it is necessary to hide the latrines
as carefully as possible . It is better to organize them in
closed spaces - abandoned houses, workshops, farms.
In opornikas located outside populated areas,
a latrine is arranged 30–40 m behind the forward
trench and connected by a communication line. The
length of the latrine ditch is determined at the rate of
2–3 m per department. Boards are used to arrange it
or shipping pallets with cut-out
holes (See Fig. 4 and Fig. 5).
Rice. 4. Latrine in a trench, Rice. 5. Latrine in a trench

equipped with a pallet equipped with poles
It is even more difficult to send natural needs on the

march, or on the offensive. Landing is fraught with the risk
of running into a tripwire or an enemy DRG. No matter how
funny it may sound, in Afghanistan, for example, it was
customary to cover for a comrade in this situation.
Veterans who went through the Great Patriotic War
said that it is important to accustom the body to the toilet in
the morning hours, before dawn. And to do this, you don’t
need to devour your entire packed lunch during the day and
supplement it with food found in abandoned houses.
46
And in general, it’s better to have an empty stomach before a fight:

If you are wounded in the stomach, there is less chance of peritonitis.
54. Sign. Garbage in position - to fire
The enemy chooses the weakest link in our

defense to attack. It is hit by artillery strikes , it is
stormed by enemy infantry and gutted by reconnaissance.
Finding the weak link is easy. By amount of garbage
At the position, not only the number of defenders is determined , but
also the nature of the organization of the service.
Garbage is a direct result of poor discipline. The mess in the
trenches - laundry on the lines, rubbish on the parapets, dirtiness of the
plantings and fields around the commander due to the lack of a latrine
indicate the absence of a firm commanding hand and the uncontrollability
of the unit, where everyone lives his own life. And this is the weak link,
which will definitely be hit.
If you are unlucky with the commander, then the soldiers themselves
must protect themselves. To do this, you need to ensure that garbage is
always hidden in positions. In niches, equipped
covered with plank covers if the trenches are located outside the populated
area. In a garage, building, basement closed from the wind - if in a city or
village. So that the orderlies cover the ditches of latrines with earth every
day. This will rid the area of unpleasant odors, painful microorganisms ,
birds, rats and other living creatures. So that every fighter works every
day to strengthen the trenches and turn the stronghold into an impregnable
fortress.
Only in this case the enemy will not dare to

storm it , realizing that he will be dealing with a strong spirit
garrison.
47
55. Aibolit for himself
Our body is a self-organizing system and the higher

the voltage, the more internal reserves it connects to our
defense. Even in the most difficult conditions of trench
warfare - in the cold, in wet clothes that freeze on the
body, the soldiers practically do not get sick. Therefore,
keeping a warehouse of medications with you makes no
sense. But all kinds of infections and contaminations
that lead to suppuration, dysentery and eczema really
cause a lot of problems. Therefore, whenever possible,
you should wash your clothes, wash your feet, hands,
groin, armpits, and dry your shoes.
What is really useful to a fighter and should always
be at hand:
- hemostatic tourniquet;
—IPP—individual dressing bag or bandage 10cm x
5m;
— a set of bactericidal adhesive plasters of various
sizes and adhesive plaster in a roll;
—2–3 gauze or cotton pads.
Among the tablets, loperamide is a remedy for
indigestion . Two tablets at once, plus one after each
bowel movement, but no more than four per day. There is
a risk of having the opposite effect. For those suffering from allergie
antihistamines prescribed by a doctor. From mid-
summer until frost, the strongest allergen, the grass
ragweed, actively blooms in Ukraine . As well as
medications prescribed by a doctor on a regular basis.
56. Here the bullet flew by and-ah-ha...
Rapid bleeding and pain shock are the cause of

death in half of those who died from gunshots
48
injuries. 30% of such wounded die within the first hour

after injury. These are medical statistics.
We can change it, saving the lives of our soldiers , by learning
how to properly provide first aid to the wounded.
Trainings are useless in this matter. You won't

become a military field surgeon anyway. Therefore, in an
extreme situation when injured, two requirements must be met:
-first. If a wounded person in front of you is bleeding , we
inject promedol. To do this, with a strong movement , at a right
angle, insert the needle of the tube the entire length into the soft
tissues of the buttock, thigh or shoulder, squeeze out the entire
contents of the syringe and remove the needle;
- second. The wounded limbs are pulled with a tourniquet with
all force, to the maximum, until the bleeding stops, and then we
bandage the wound. Indicate the time of application on the tourniquet.
You cannot hold the tourniquet for more than two hours. It is
necessary to loosen and tighten above the first place of application.
For a wounded person in the chest or stomach, after an
injection of promedol, we plug the wound with a bandage, cotton
wool, cloth, IPP wrap and bandage it tightly.
We transfer all the wounded as soon as possible
doctors
57. Pain and do no harm
Promedol is a pain reliever used for wounds and injuries, a

narcotic analgesic. The effect of promedol occurs within 10–20
minutes and continues after a single dose for 3–4 hours.
It makes no sense to inject more than one tube of promedol if

you are wounded . The analgesic effect is not enhanced , but the
wounded may die. The drug depresses the respiratory center.
49
After injecting promedol, write the time of administration in

a visible place on the wounded person - on the uniform, face, chest.
If you are wounded in the head, you cannot inject promedol.
58. Getting captured is a bad, very bad idea.
People are captured for various reasons. The wounded,

unconscious , left without ammunition and commanders. But
most often out of stupidity - he got lost, went to the village to
buy cigarettes, and fell asleep at the post. It also happens voluntary
surrender, but this is a matter of psychiatry.
Anyone who views captivity as a way to preserve his life is
mistaken. Getting captured is a very bad idea.
During the Great Patriotic War, 63.4% of Soviet

prisoners of war died from hunger, disease and torture.
More than half of the prisoners died in Afghan captivity.
Ukrainian soldiers are also creating hell for our soldiers.
prisoners.
Behind the bestial cruelty towards our

prisoners hide the awareness of inferiority and
the enemies' fear of the Russians. And for them we are all -
Chechens, Tatars, Buryats, Abkhazians, Udmurts are Russians. To
humiliate a defenseless prisoner, torture, castrate, kill is a kind of act of
self-affirmation for our enemies . But for us it is an unacceptable waste.
We do not torture prisoners. Save the life of a surrendered person

to the enemy is a godly and legally correct deed.
59. There are no hopeless situations
Anything can happen in war. You can meet an enemy

that is superior in strength, get surrounded, and be left without
ammunition. The main thing in such a situation is not to panic.
50
If you don't know what to do, drink some water.

This will relieve tension. Choose a safe shelter and lie
down. A forest, planting or industrial area is best
suited for this . It is then best to break through them
from the encirclement.
Try to wait until dusk. Firstly, in the twilight it is difficult
for the enemy to figure out where his friend is and where his
foe is. Secondly, the open sight on a machine gun is no longer
effective , the night sight is not yet used in order not to
illuminate the matrix, thermal imaging sights are still rare, which
means shooting at you will not be as effective as during the
day. Often twilight is accompanied by fog and this too
helps you stay undetected.
If detected, change shelter as quickly as possible. It is

difficult to hit a running person even at a short distance.
If the enemy is in pursuit, and you do not have the

strength to break away, organize an ambush for him.
Let him in and shoot him point blank. Burdened with the
wounded and dead, your pursuers will lose all interest in you.
It’s better to go out to your friends during the day. There
is less risk of falling under “friendly fire”. Until then, even if you
meet our fighters, stay in cover. After making sure that you see
your own, attract their attention, make it clear that you are not
the enemy. Only after this do you come out of hiding.
Do not give up! Never!
60. Don’t drink alcohol, you’ll become a little fool
Nothing, perhaps, brought more harm to the army than the

legends about the benefits of the People's Commissar's 100 grams.
A drunk will either be injured or killed - that's without question.
Drunken noise will attract the enemy's attention, and he
will throw mines into your trenches or send a DRG. For the sniper
51
a drunk fighter is an easy target. A drunk, without

understanding, can open fire on his own. And also
stupid orders, hazing. All this is alcohol.
If you can't stop your co-workers from drinking, leave. It doesn't
end well.
The only thing vodka is good for in war is for wiping the body when
there is no way to bathe and for softening the leather in boots. The ankle
boots are generously moistened from the inside with vodka and worn
on the leg until
drying.
61. Baksheesh
Baksheesh in Eastern languages is literally a gift. If you take it

more broadly, it’s a trophy. Money, jewelry, various kinds of gadgets,
cars - everything that was valuable in peaceful life is worth absolutely
nothing in war. The main value in war is life. And in order to preserve it ,
you must leave all thoughts about material things and live by war.
It has been noticed that as soon as a fighter begins to

wander after baksheeshes through abandoned houses, consider
him to have signed his own death sentence. War does not
tolerate looters and cleans them up first. Rest assured, the thugs
will collect all the mines in the area, come under friendly fire
from their neighbors, expose your positions, and expose themselves and y
enemy artillery.
But the most disgusting thing is that the baksheeshes
change people. They turn the merry fellow, the hero, into a
coward and a miser, living only for his trophy. Such a fighter
becomes a liability. It's of no use. There are conflicts and
quarrels around him. You need to stay away from him. According
to the law of karma, it is in his trench that the largest shell, the
most accurate bullet will arrive, or the most corrosive investigator
will come. No one has abolished the crime for looting.
52
62. War will not write off
If someone thinks that one can “relax ” in war

without observing the written laws and unwritten customs
of war, then he is mistaken.
The first months of confusion and confusion in the Northern
Military District are over. The military police and counterintelligence
agencies were in full force . All crimes committed by military
personnel will definitely be solved.
Almost 80 years have passed since the end of the Great
Patriotic War, and investigators are still searching for and finding
war criminals.
Today, in the era of information technology and total
digital control, it is impossible to hide the facts of murder,
violence, and robbery. Russian special services, as practice
shows, catch all sorts of “shaitans”, no matter where they
are hiding. This applies to all those who have committed crimes—
both Wesseushniks with mercenaries, and our military personnel ,
regardless of rank and position.
63. Don't piss, brother!
In fact, fear is just the body’s reaction to danger; within

reasonable limits, it helps to avoid a lot of trouble. Fear, for
example, of an artillery attack forces us to dig deeper into the
ground. Fear of a sniper encourages you to move in dashes.
Fear goes away as we gain combat experience, when

we understand that not every bullet is in the forehead, and
not every shell is in your trench. So it turns out that fear in war -
this is a derivative of a lack of information about the enemy
and its capabilities.
The easiest way to overcome your fear is to be in a

team , next to experienced fighters, when there is an opportunity
53
speak out. Friendly - “Don’t piss, bro!” works better in

battle than any tranquilizer. Emotional release—swearing
at the enemy— also helps a lot . But the first cure for
fear is the offensive actions of our army. When you see
with your own eyes the broken enemy equipment, its
ground up positions, the closed-eyed or captive
ukrovoyaks, the pitiful exhausted and dirty, you come
to the understanding that the devil is really not as terrible
as he is painted.
64. The most important thing. God is with us!
“God guides us, He is our general!” - wrote the great

Suvorov in his book “The Science of Victory.” Sincere
faith in God, the primacy of the spiritual over the material -
This is the main secret of the victories of the commander and his miracle
heroes .
“Neither arms, nor legs, nor the mortal human body
wins, but the immortal soul, which rules over arms, and
legs, and weapons, ...”, “Without prayer, do not draw a
weapon, do not load a gun, do not start anything. ” !”,
“Pray to GOD: victory comes from HIM!” - Suvorov
teaches us. (see in the Appendix “Prayer of Orthodox
soldiers before battle”, “Troparion to the cross and prayer
for the Fatherland”, “Du'a of devout Muslims that helps
to win”).
And Alexander Vasilyevich firmly knew that there is
no death, and death in battle is just a stage on our path
to God.
The test of war is a kind of purgatory, after passing
which we purify the soul and gain faith, and God’s
providence is to accept our souls, or leave them on Earth
for a future known only to Him.
54
65. We will go to heaven, and they will just die
The fact that Russia and we, its soldiers, are fighting
today on the side of Good is evidenced by the fact that
thousands of Russians of all nationalities and various
religions, without coercion, at the call of conscience, joined
the ranks of soldiers to fight evil. This has happened only once in history -
to the Great Patriotic War, where our grandfathers
fought against raging fascism.
Today we are Orthodox and Muslims,
dists and shamanists in the same ranks fighting against
Ukrainian nationalism and the worldview behind them
of Satanism.
And perhaps our President was not joking when he

said that “... we, as martyrs, will go to heaven, and they will
simply die.” Putin probably knew something he didn’t know about
it's time to talk.
66. If the brochure gets to the enemy
Let them read. Sooner or later, Ukrainians will become

Russian again, because they have always been Russian. And
the more current Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters save their
lives, the fewer tears their loved ones will shed.
The special military operation will end, and the
current Ukrainian military personnel will again stand
shoulder to shoulder with Russian soldiers against the
West, which provoked this fratricidal war.
Romanians and Finns fought together with the Germans against
the USSR for three years, and then, as soon as the boot of a Soviet
soldier set foot on their soil, they turned their guns against the Nazis.
It has always been this way. It will be so this time too.

the edge of the target.
During normal firing of the machine gun, the middle
point of impact (see Fig. 7.) should coincide with the control
point or deviate from it in any direction by no more than 5
cm.
4. If the average point of impact (MIP) deviates from
the control point in any direction by more than 5 cm, then
the position of the front sight is changed: if the MPO is
lower than the control point, the front sight must be screwed in, if
above - unscrew; if the middle point of impact is to the left
of the control point, move the front sight slide to the left, if
to the right - to the right.
Wherever the STP is shifted, we shift the front sight there. Bullet
leads the fly.
When the front sight is moved to the side by 1 mm, the STP
when shooting at 100 m from a machine gun moves by 26 cm.
One full rotation of the front sight moves the STP in height by 20 cm.

Unleavened wheat cakes
Fresh bread is rare in war, and crackers and biscuits

quickly become boring. To prepare fresh flatbreads you
need 20 minutes of free time, a glass of flour, a third of a
glass of water and a spoonful of vegetable oil.
Mix all the ingredients and knead the dough.
Let the dough rest in the bag for 15 minutes.
Cut the dough into small pieces and roll them
into flat cakes 3–4 mm thick. Place them on a heated
surface (frying pan, sheet of iron, etc.)
and fry on both sides until brownish
specks.
You can sprinkle the flatbreads with spices or add

salt to taste.
Baked potatoes in foil on coals
Simple and uncomplicated food is tasty and healthy,

and food foil allows it to bake evenly and not burn.
We pierce the potato in several places. Grease with

vegetable oil and salt. Wrap in several layers of food foil.
Place the potatoes on the coals of the fire. After 10 minutes,
turn it over. Bake the other side for another 10 minutes.
When the potatoes are ready, cut them in half right in the foil
and enjoy.

Kulesh
Traditional camp dish, thick, simple

and satisfying.
For a portion, pour a can of pork stew into a

onion and carrots and simmer for 5–7 minutes. Pour
water into this meat and vegetable mixture. After
boiling, add a pinch of salt and half a mug of millet or
any other cereal. Add a couple of chopped potatoes
and cook, stirring, until done for 25–30 minutes.

It worries a little.
Swedish candle - the simplest fireplace
You need a dry log up to half a meter long and with a

diameter of 10 to 40 cm. The main thing is that it can stand
vertically.
Using a saw, crosswise cuts are made in the log with a
depth of three-quarters of its height. The more cuts, the faster
the log will burn.
Sprinkle a little gasoline into the center of the cuts and
set it on fire. The Swedish candle burns for a long time, the
flame is even. On top of the log you can place a kettle, a pot, a
frying pan and cook food.
Polaris
Can be installed at the bottom of a trench covered with a

raincoat on top. The base is a shell casing, shot from a
machine gun in several places 5–7 cm from the bottom. A rag
soaked in diesel fuel or dry firewood is lowered into the sleeve.
It smokes, but it warms. You can increase heat transfer by
placing a ceramic flower pot or red brick on top.

Firewood is loaded into the horizontal part of the

pipe (fuel receiving hopper ). Inside the L-shaped channel

DIY water filter

The device is simple and a plastic bottle of any size is
suitable for it, but it is better to immediately make it into a
compartment (platoon) using containers with a volume of 5
to 20 liters (see Fig. 11).
Sequence of work:
1) cut out the bottom of the bottle;
2) make holes in the lid;
3) place gauze or cloth folded in several layers into the
bottle. They purify water quite well, but they clog quickly
and need constant replacement;
4) activated carbon should be poured onto the bottom
layer , approximately 7 cm for a five-liter bottle and 15–20
cm for a twenty-liter bottle
5) a layer of sand of 8–10 centimeters is poured onto the coal.
Rice. 11. Filter for water purification
The main element of the filter is sorbent,

activated carbon. To get it, barbecue charcoal

crushed directly in its bag to fine sizes

gravel -1–1.5 cm. Then it is boiled in a bucket for 20–30 minutes.
After this, the water is drained, and the activated
carbon thus obtained is fried in the same bucket until
completely dry.
If you can’t buy charcoal, you can make it yourself.
To do this, put dry firewood (preferably birch) in a jar,
cover it with sand and set it to roast on the fire.
Charcoal is ready when the release of gases and
steam stops.
