Characteristics

  • 810 ObrMP

810 Separate brigade of marines with a location in the city of Sevastopol was formed in November 1979 as a result of the reorganization of the 810th regiment of marines.

It can rightly be called a real military formation. On the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union, a difficult situation developed in the Georgian SSR, whose government attempted to nationalize the property of military bases. His protection was entrusted to the unit.

The next military operation of the marines of military unit 13140 falls on August 1992, when military units of by then independent Georgia invaded the territory of Abkhazia with the aim of annexing it. The fighting in the republic continued until October 1992.

The final defeat of the Georgian troops in Abkhazia dates back to the autumn of 1993, but at the same time, the civil war in Georgia sharply escalated, and its president, Eduard Shevardnadze, turned to the Russian government for help. As a result of the agreement reached on Russian military bases on the territory of Georgia, a detachment of several ships of the marines and a battalion of marines of the Black Sea Fleet advanced to Poti.

6 years after the landing in Georgia, the units of the 810th Marine Brigade again had to fight, this time in 1999, in Chechnya. The reconnaissance of the Marine Corps of the Black Sea Fleet was in the combat area for 9 months, took part in many operations.

Units of experienced field commanders, Basayev, acted against the fighters. Raduev, Khottaba... According to the recollections of the participants in the Chechen events, there were many well-trained foreign mercenaries among the militants. In 2000, the marines returned to the location of military unit 13140 in Sevastopol.

2008, and again an armed conflict in the North Caucasus, this time Georgian troops invaded the territory of South Ossetia. During the conflict, two units of the Marine Corps of the Black Sea Fleet took part in the hostilities - 431 naval reconnaissance points based in Tuapse and 382 OBMP stationed in Temryuk. Parts of the 810th Marine Brigade and the 7th Airborne Division carried out a landing operation, during which Russian units captured the city of Poti.

After the capture of the city by the special forces of the Black Sea Fleet, an operation was carried out during which all warships of the Georgian Navy, which were in the port of the city of Poti, were destroyed (they were blown up and flooded).

Marine Corps combat tactics have been developed over many decades, and it is to her that, for the most part, the Marines owe their success in military operations. The annual exercise, during which the Marines hone their martial arts, is held several times a year in mobile tent camps.

During the exercises, tactics are being developed for conducting military operations in cooperation with artillery and aviation units of the Navy.

A significant role is also given to physical training, mastery of edged weapons and hand-to-hand combat techniques, which increases the chances of winning in direct contact with the enemy.

I was not at the very location of the brigade in Sevastopol, I limited myself to visiting the Opuk training ground. On it, soldiers live in tents, which are put up for the period of training.

Camping
1.

Tents USB-56 (in the foreground) and UST-56 (rear) are used for living.
2.

The main disadvantage of USB-56 is fluidity at the seams. Therefore, the seams regularly have to be coated with either salidol or painted over with paint. In summer, this tent is very stuffy, because it is rubberized and does not let air through. Saves only the opening of windows and rolling curtains. In the non-rubberized version, this tent does not leak at the seams, but it is afraid of sparks from the pipe, which eventually "eat" many small holes in the canopy and the tent begins to leak.
In the center of the camp there are pillars with flags raised daily: Russia and St. Andrew's. When the national flag is raised, the servicemen sing the national anthem
3.

4.

The first time I saw that the beds were without shackles. The red box contains sand to extinguish a possible fire, the green box contains coal.
5.

6.

The stove is a little non-standard, they usually give out round "potbelly stoves", but it is this one that heats well. Above the stove on the pipe is a spark arrestor that traps most sparks and small coals, preventing them from falling onto the tent
7.

I think that once such camps were good, but now they are already outdated, so I think it is reasonable to purchase such camps, which the Ministry of Defense conducted on a trial basis a few months ago.
8.

It is clear that we are getting closer to nature, our soldier, living a truly field life, will be able to survive in much more difficult conditions, but improvements are simply necessary.

Food. The food in the brigade is good, which is noted by all the soldiers, although the military prepares it. According to some guys, it is even better at the training ground than in the unit. But here, I think, fresh air and constant training, both sports and combat, most likely affect. Charging, for example, has not been canceled.
Return from a run
9.

Monetary allowance is paid to servicemen in Ukrainian hryvnias. The exchange rate of the hryvnia against the ruble upon payment is strictly regulated by a special intergovernmental agreement between Russia and Ukraine, which causes obvious inconvenience. If a few years ago, the course was in favor of the military and they received more in terms of rubles than in similar positions in Russia, now the hryvnia has fallen in price, and there has been no recalculation. So it turns out that somewhere in Volgograd a conscript receives 430 rubles, and the same marine, whom fate brought to serve in the Crimea - about 350. The same is true with contract soldiers and officers.
The allowance of a contractor on average is 2,500-3,000 hryvnias (in rubles, about 8,700-10,500), which is about a thousand rubles less than in Russia. Renting a house in Feodosiya costs 1500 hryvnias, in Sevastopol it is even more expensive.
There are some problems with corporate housing, because construction on the territory of another state is more difficult to carry out.
In 2008-2009, the officers in the brigade were paid a monthly bonus under the 400th order, this year there has not yet been a decision. For those who did not fall under this payment, a quarterly bonus was intended according to order No. 1010. But there were some problems with its payment, then once they gave 70 thousand, then in the last one - 9-11 thousand rubles.
There are few contractors left; according to the new requirements, they were moved to the positions of squad commanders, which is not always for the better. For example, there is a person who is an excellent driver, but a mediocre commander. Officers expect that the expected increase in the number of contract soldiers in the army will give more room for maneuver in the staffing table and be able to recruit the right people for key positions.

In conclusion, I will post a video where the sailors talk about their service. There will be many. Don't be lazy, check them all out. You can clearly see the ways in which each guy came to the army: someone mowed, someone walked purposefully, someone serves because it is necessary for future work. I was very pleased that in many speeches it slips that “we are a team”, “like one family”, “we live together”. This means that the officers are seriously working on team building, instilling an attitude towards colleagues as a single whole. There is no hazing here. The entire airborne assault battalion of one call - autumn 2010, and the entire battalion of marines - spring 2010. The decision is controversial, because. during demobilization, one of the battalions is very heavily bled, but on the other side there is always another fully combat-ready.
In general see
All the guys who were filmed in uniform had been at the field exit for several days already, and they are the ones in the photographs taken in the previous report on the company tactical exercise.
1.

This guy asked me to say hello home. I am happy to do
3.

You have already seen this guy in talking about his colleague Jan Avril. He's from Moscow, by the way.
4.

These videos were filmed in the communications tent. It was raining and there was no work. I'm asking almost everyone here about combat training. Hear what these sailors say about "automatic only on oath"

Volunteers of the international The InformNapalm intelligence community has collected new data on the Russian military of the 810th separate marine brigade of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, who took part in the occupation of Crimea.

InformNapalm’s investigations repeatedly featured the 810th Separate Marine Brigade of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation (military unit 13140, permanent station in Sevastopol, temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine). , 2, in the Crimea - 1, 2) and Syria. In this material, we disclose the data of several more military personnel of the 810th Marine Brigade, whose participation in the occupation of Crimea was established through open sources. We also draw your attention to the fact that in the list of officers of the Armed Forces and government officials Russian Federation, who was informed of suspicion by the Chief Military Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine, only the deputy commander of the 810th Marine Brigade of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant Colonel Karpushenko V.V. appears, but, in our opinion, this list should be supplemented by the name of the commander of military unit 13140, Colonel V. Belyavsky it was he who signed the award certificates for medals for the occupation of Crimea by the servicemen identified in this investigation.

Colonel Belyavsky signed certificates for awards for the occupation of Crimea

The defendants in the investigation published their certificates for medals for the occupation of Crimea on social networks. The certificate was signed by the commander of the 810th Marine Brigade (military unit 13140), Colonel Vladimir Anatolyevich Belyavsky. It has been established from open sources that Colonel V. Belyavsky served as commander of the 810th Marine Brigade from January 2010 to September 2014. From September 2014 to 2016 he studied at the Military Academy of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces, from June 2016 to September 2017 he was the commander of the 40th Brigade of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Federation (military unit 10103), and since September 2017 he has been the commander of the 212th Guards District Training training center for junior specialists of tank troops (military unit 21250).

Belyavsky was awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation with the award of a special distinction - the Gold Star medal. Has several photos of different periods with Russian President Vladimir Putin.



 Probably, this experienced professional soldier not only signed certificates for the awards of his subordinates for participation in the occupation of Crimea, but he himself took an active part in the management of units of the 810th Marine Brigade, which performed special tasks as part of the operation to seize military facilities of the Ukrainian Navy in Crimea.

History of military unit 13140

In 1966, on November 18, the 309th OBtMP of the Black Sea Fleet was formed. Until December 22, the personnel served on the cruiser Slava, which cruised in the Mediterranean region. In August 1967, joint exercises were held with the army of the People's Republic of Bulgaria.

The purpose of the training was to coordinate actions in ensuring the collective security of the countries of the socialist camp. The fighters made a 15-kilometer throw on floating means for landing ashore, after which they carried out a 300-kilometer raid through the territory of the IRB.

From September to December 1967, the formation was on combat duty in the Mediterranean Sea, calling at the ports of Egypt and Syria and strengthening the defense of powers friendly to the Soviet regime during the "War of Attrition" for the Sinai Peninsula. At the same time, the main assistance of the USSR consisted in the supply of weapons and the training of Arab specialists.

Officially, the battalions of the 810th Brigade were formed on December 15, 1967, immediately after returning from combat duty. This day is considered the moment of foundation of the unit. Two days later, Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union S.G. visited the location of the new formation. Gorshkov. He was pleasantly surprised by the training and skills of the foot soldiers. However, there is nothing surprising in this fact, because the brigade was formed from experienced fighters who had repeatedly participated in local conflicts.

The history of the 810th Marine Brigade is very eventful. The period of the 1970s and 1980s was characterized by a large number of conflicts in the Middle East and Africa. The Soviet command was forced to support regimes loyal to it, since the world was tacitly divided into two parts. Therefore, it was impossible to turn away from the allies, since America would certainly take advantage of its chance. "Sworn friends" constantly tried to seize the initiative from each other.

Military unit 13140 of the Marine Corps from Sevastopol took part in numerous all-Union exercises, as well as in joint events with the armies of the Warsaw Pact countries. And the fighters always showed high results, every year, taking prizes in competitions. For the achievements of the infantrymen, the military unit was awarded the Pennant of the Ministry of Defense "For courage and military prowess".

The presentation took place on October 31, 1974. The fighters annually took part in festive events on Red Square on the occasion of Victory Day. It was with them that the tradition began, according to which the Marines stopped going out in pea coats, regardless of weather conditions.

The 810th Marine Brigade actively participated in the peaceful life of the Crimean peninsula, repeatedly saving people from storms and taking part in the elimination of man-made disasters and extinguishing fires. When unrest began in the Soviet Union, leading to an uprising of nationalist forces in the Caucasus, the fighter was sent to the region to protect strategic facilities on the coasts of the Georgian and Azerbaijan SSR. All operations were successful and without loss.

810th Brigade in Sevastopol after the liquidation of the USSR

When the Union ceased to exist and all the republics gained independence, the question arose about the status of the 810th Brigade in Sevastopol (military unit 13140). Crimea became part of Ukraine, and it turned out that the Russian military unit turned out to be an enclave. The leaders of the countries managed to find a compromise, so that the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation got the opportunity to deploy in Sevastopol for a long time.

Relations between the countries were at an excellent level, therefore, in the video of the 810th separate marine brigade of the 90-00s, one can repeatedly observe joint Russian-Ukrainian exercises in the Crimea, Odessa and other ports. The interaction was established at a high level, so that in the event of a possible aggression from the west, there was an opportunity to quickly take up defense and prepare to meet the enemy.

The 810th Separate Marine Brigade took part in rescue operations in the Caucasus, evacuating more than 15,000 refugees from the combat zone during military conflicts. I also had a chance to fight with the militants in the territories of Georgia and Abkhazia, who could not peacefully determine the borders.

The 810th Marine Brigade distinguished itself in Chechnya, where it was sent on September 10, 1999. During the clashes with illegal armed groups, 8 infantrymen were killed, and the enemies left more than a hundred of their accomplices on the battlefields. On November 25, 2000, a memorial obelisk to the fallen comrades was erected on the territory of the military unit.

The 810th Separate Marine Brigade in Syria carried out tasks to protect strategic facilities. During the operation to rescue the crew of the SU-24 shot down by the Turkish Air Force, Alexander Pozynich, a contract soldier of the airborne assault company, died. This was the only loss of foot soldiers during their stay in the SAR. On June 16, 2016, the military unit was awarded the Order of Zhukov for the successful completion of the assigned task. The award was presented personally by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

The composition and armament of the brigade

The 810th Marine Brigade of the Black Sea Fleet has been repeatedly recognized as the best formation in its eastern district. In addition, it is the only order-bearing formation on the Crimean peninsula.
