Survival tips in case of war

2024 Author: Seth Attwood | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-12-16 15:55

The following advice comes from a former GRU officer hiding under the nickname Raccoon. Unfortunately, all contacts with him have been lost. The scenario is similar - civil war or war. So:

One way or another, the scenarios may be different. The bottom line is always the same: you need to survive the first two weeks, and then “it will be seen” (and this does not mean that you need to sit at home for two weeks). Scenario "A" should not bother you too much, if a Chech or some other kaku is transferred to Moscow, then there will be people to "work" on them. You don't need to get into this. So rule number one was born. There is no need to go anywhere, especially in a "fight". For this there will always be "thugs" like me. Your task is to “preserve labor resources,” that is, yourself.

As for the two remaining options. In the case of "B" you will have to fight, if you like, of course. There are options. In the case of "B" - you don't have to fight anymore. Homeland pissed away. Wake up to decide for yourself, according to the situation. You can "die of the brave", you can work and live on, if given.

The main thing to remember is that there will always be about three degrees of "butt". Local battles, full-scale war, hopeless occupation with the subsequent dismemberment of the country. I explain this so that there is an understanding of a very important point that people usually forget when stressed: your actions depend on the situation. No amateur performances, just common sense. Shooting on the street is not the end of the world. Even if you have a primary treatment center for the wounded at the entrance, and there is a 120mm mortar in the yard, this does not mean that you need to run urgently (although if the mortar, then the position must be changed, it will certainly be destroyed together with you). Yes, yes, shooting and corpses doesn’t mean anything, it’s not strange. An untimely maneuver "to dump away" can cost you your life. Do not fuss, do not panic, look at WHO and at WHOM is shooting, and most importantly why.

So (number three). In the course of events and unrest, you made the decision to flee. Now, I will briefly spread out your chances. In a city like Moscow or St. Petersburg, there is very little chance of survival. There is not enough food in the cities and no one will distribute it in case of unrest. There is food only in stores and at food bases (you can forget about them, there troops or stupid bandits will appear immediately). For you, shops (it makes sense to buy on the first day, when they are still selling; then the shops will close and the staff will start tying everything, if the moment with the “purchase” has been screwed up, then we are going to “privatize” the gun; I advise you to contract a neighbor for this and not one, firstly you will take more grub, since you still need someone to cover you from the same thugs who met you inside or on the way back, and secondly, you have firepower with a smoothbore somewhere in the region of zero and an extra pair of barrels will not hurt, but remember, if you bring too many people with you, then you are a “group goal”, and it will be very sad to “share” the swag; 3-4 people, no more need to take with you). Of course, you must have food and water supplies in your apartment. With water it is even worse, there will be no supply. If you run out of water from the tap, you have a toilet cistern. DON'T DARE LOW THIS WATER! It is no different from tap water, one riser with cold water. And these liters are a week to live and not to grieve (well, do not die decks, that's for sure). If possible, then a couple of canisters in the teeth and "gut" the dressing. Fuels and lubricants are very important. But remember, you can't keep him in the apartment. The vapors are highly flammable. Make a cache, better in the attic, in the basement people will hide from shelling.

They are unlikely to kill you. In "troubled waters" no one wastes ammunition on people without weapons. Of course, this is not a reason to go for a full-grown walk before bed, but remember that you are not # 1 goal. As the experience of the city of Grozny has shown, the men who are howling at full strength are quite real, they completely ignore the locals, not up to them. Of course, a "fool" can always fly, especially at dusk, but still not so bad. Remember that you should not be located either near the TV center or with an infrastructure facility, and of course, if people with weapons entered the apartment and "informed" you that now they have a machine-gun crew here, then you tell them "OK, settle down", and dump. No "This is my property, I will not go anywhere" - this is a bullet in the forehead right away, they have no time for you, if you interfere - you will lie down. Leave even if you don't ask. Since their opponents will "cover" your apartment now, and they will not shoot stones from slingshots. It's better not to jump in front of the hospital either. The parties to the conflict will take the wounded there, perhaps they will try to reclaim this strategic building for themselves. There will be firing. In the case of bombing, someone will certainly shit on the hospital, do not even hesitate, those who wrote the Geneva Convention are usually not in the GT, this makes its observance somewhat conditional. As in "Pirates of the Caribbean": "This is not a set of laws, but rather a set of rules to be followed."

Remember, as soon as such a batch began, your property is no longer there. And I strongly advise you not to get excited. You need to kill if someone reaches out to your food and water. Everything else is nonsense. If you exchange a car for a machine gun in the arms room of the nearest police station, then you are a great fellow. Even if you have exchanged a new Mercedes for a used AKSU and only 2-3 stores, then you are still a great fellow. You don't need a car anymore. You will not be able to leave the city on it 100%, but the desire to shoot at you will be very serious. While you are in the city, I do not advise you to wear camouflage clothing, otherwise it may "arrive".

So (number four). What we have predicted now. In our city "M" street fighting began. We made the decision, due to circumstances or tactical reasons, to stay in the city (although this is a bad idea, almost always). We know that you can start robbing shops as early as the second day, there are weapons in the nearest cop, there is a little water in the toilet cistern (if you get hold of a couple of drinking bottles in the store - even better), your property is no longer there, a man with a weapon is always right where there is a man with a weapon - there should not be you, who dresses like a military man - is at war (even if he does not want to), a cache of fuels and lubricants is a big plus (fuels and lubricants, by the way, can become a currency commensurate in liquidity with weapons and ammunition), important objects are not come even close.

And here's another thing. NEVER WALK ANYWHERE SIMPLY SO, ESPECIALLY "LOOK WHAT'S THERE." In urban combat, many things are done "in a quiet", reconnaissance and sabotage method. Any reconnaissance group seeing you, 100%, will cut you up. It is in the films that they point the finger "quietly" and move on. In real life, you will be stabbed on the spot. Their survival and fulfillment of the task depends on the absence of witnesses. Moreover, a group that took up a position in a maneuverable urban battle will do the same if you “spot” their positions and move on. Even the fucking machine-gun crew at the intersection, which has just "dug in" will not harbor warm feelings for you. So if they noticed you from afar and beckon to “talk” with their finger, turn around and run as fast as you can. Guys can smile, look friendly, lure with a swag - come up, and everything will change. Locals often have to "work out" if they get caught along the way. So we don’t ask questions, we don’t get out of our "shell" once again.

Dump

So, part two. Now we're starting to get out of town. The problem is this: either the city is closed, or there are battles in it. If you, due to circumstances, pissed away the moment of the beginning of active battles, this is very bad, but it does not mean that you are doomed. You can always leave the city. There are two points here, regardless of the situation. First: movement around the city, second: passage through the cordon. There are ring roads around large settlements - this is ZHOPA. Motorized shooters on boxes in a few hours, moving on smooth asphalt, will take the city into a ring. If this happened, then drop all thoughts of "slip through unnoticed" at once. Any "incomprehensible" movement is, in conditions of fighting, immediately turn, and the golden rule "I don't see - I don't shoot" often does not work. We go to the cordon to surrender in good faith. But we haven't gotten to that yet …

Yes, here's another thing: DO NOT SIT IN A CAR !!! Any transport in the city will be 100% fired upon.

So, we have with us a backpack with a swag necessary for survival, ideally, a small-sized weapon (aksu + a pistol, a standard cop's set), and another small bag duplicating the main backpack only on a much more modest scale (for example, in your backpack food for three days, and in the bag for another day, etc.). The bag is closer to the body, and do not take off. It is very important to take with you separately, even in your underpants, carry all the jewelry that you find. Cover the backpack with a white sheet and attach it to it. This is necessary so that any asshole who spotted you (and there will be many of them, and the city do not even hope to pass unnoticed) would see that you are a CIVIL and did not decide to "open" his position for you.

You will be escorted in the crosshair and you will move on. Of course, you are not marching along the main avenue, but you don’t have to be smeared with mud, ala Schwarzenegger hide in the Predator - you will be grazed and shot, because they will not understand who you are and what you are. Accordingly, there is no camouflage on you. You are a civilian and must look like a civilian, with a white backpack like a white flag, otherwise you will be shot. You should show with all your appearance that you are not of interest, you just dump. Of course, the weapon is with you, only you do not carry it over your head, but hide it. Pistol in your pocket (cocked). If you get hold of an automatic rifle (ideally aksu), fold the stock and hide it under your jacket. I advise you to remove the fuse on the machine immediately, it can be hard, you can get confused. The cartridge is in the chamber, of course. There should not be any bulky things on the chest, at most a hidden machine gun - if you have to fall, then you will lie on some purse that will lift you above the ground, it will be easier to hit you.

If a man with a weapon is heading towards you, you stop and "no tricks", his comrades are at the positions. He, most likely, will gut you on the swag, he would like to shoot you - he would have already shot you. If you take the backpack - give it back (we would still give it away at the exit from the city, at the cordon, 100:, ask to leave you a sheet (put it on your back) and a bag (a small one, into which we duplicated everything in smaller numbers). This is a purely psychological moment, we calmly give big things and ask them to leave small things to us, as a rule, people agree, this was our calculation from the very beginning. we take it out and show it, but calmly talk about its availability) and ask to leave it - they will take away 100%, but this will allow you to keep the pistol (don't talk about it, if you give it back, you are unlikely to be snooped; the submachine gun would be noticed so, but if you immediately passed, it means you are "non-violent").

You are, as it were, exchanging your things for your own. If there was no pistol, it was possible to take a disassembled smoothbore, the main thing is to give "a big and terrible weapon." We proceed from the fact that since you sat up to the cordon and street battles, then you did not just watch advertisements on TV, and you have already gone to the bazaar in the nearest OM. About the speed of movement … if you walk around the city 10-15 kilometers a day, then this is an excellent speed. Remember that you will not go straight, but wake up to zip through the neighborhoods, as there will be local battles. Accordingly, if there are 10 kilometers from your house to the ring road on the map, this does not mean that you will pass them in a day. You go AFTERNOON. Usually they move at night, but any asshole who goes 100 out of 100 at night will get a bullet. We walk in the afternoon with a white sheet, we surrender, we will hide - we will gather fire on ourselves. Reach the cordon or barrage cordons, drop your pistol, and with your hands raised in an active voice, actively demonstrating that you are here, showing a white rag, going to the soldiers. You do not go anywhere, you go to the checkpoint or support, if you need to go to it with raised hands 200-300 meters.

The bottom line is that the post is equipped for "reception" and there the soldiers feel more comfortable, so there will be less desire to shoot. They start to sneak you. You have already thrown off the weapon, you "endured quietly", an officer will come out to you. Most likely a lieutenant, no older. This means that you don't need to be especially subservient to him. You offer to exchange valuables for the "right of way". Certainly not with subordinates. If everything went well, then you left the city.

On the way, you will 100% lose almost all the swag and all the weapons, having spent 1-2 days of travel for a ridiculous distance. AND THIS IS NORMAL. The city, taken in a ring, is a huge prisoner camp. You can give anything you want just to get out. Because hunger will begin inside and soon enough.

So, we go carefully, but do not hide as "scouts". We are dressed as civilians and we have a white rag on our backs (from the front it will be clear that you have no weapons, but from the back it will not be clear about weapons, you need to be sure). We have a small bag with a vital swag. There is jewelry (gold) as a currency. Weapons that we do not forget to part with before we approach the military at the post (if you are accepted with a weapon, it will be difficult to explain that you are a civilian; you will either be written down as deserters or as an enemy disguised). If you left the city half empty in 1-3 days, moving from district to district, then this is normal. From personal experience, regular peanut sneakers are very nutritious. 6 double sneakers is a guy's daily calorie requirement. Heating food may not work (most likely). Sneakers are certainly not a buffet, but the war is going on, don't get fucked up in terms of food. The sneaker theme was honestly stolen from the Chechens. They are fighting them. You can have a snack right along the way, a very good topic, with sugar, glucose, it raises your mood (considering that you will be in a terrible psychophysical state - glucose is very useful). The main thing is to understand that the guys with machine guns are very dressed up, they are being shot at. Giving them a reason to shoot you is very easy. So be careful not to show off. The muzzle is simpler, to agree to everything.

So part three. Now I will very briefly tell you where and why you need to dump. Remember, up to now we have deliberately analyzed the HARDEST SCENARIOS. We will do the same now. I do it on purpose, "why?", I think there is no need to explain.

So, the worst option: we were almost without food and weapons outside the city. Ideally, each of you should take, in advance (now), a map and throw several places on the map where you can retreat. NO HEROES! Let the foam come off, and then you’ll figure out where and what is happening. You must select the seats in the DIRECTION OF THE SIDES OF THE LIGHT. A simple example: SPB. Most likely, you will not have to retreat to the West. To the South is also meaningless. You will go either to the North, to Karelia, or to the East, to the Novgorod, Tver, regions. With Moscow, about the same, North (Arkhangelsk direction) or East (Ural ridge).

Remember: DO NOT approach military objectives! The idea that "their Russian soldiers", at the base in the region, will receive and feed is nonsense. At BEST, the officers will fuck you, they have no time for you, this is not a reception center for refugees. But the fact that the bombing of the object can start is an objective reality. Also, do not forget the following point: now the term is being held “next to” the house. If the "kneading" has begun, it is better not even to imagine what is going on in the head of the military, relatives and friends, whom may still remain in the city. Remember - all people. The military is just as worried, nervous and freaked out, like all ordinary people. But they do it with weapons in hand. So the idea that "soldiers will help" is not a good idea.

In general, according to your mind, you should have a "house in the village", in which in the underground there is a cache of stew, canned food, water, medicines, etc., where you must retreat. The Chechens did just that, they went to the villages and villages. But we proceed from the worst scenarios, since many do not have such a property.

So, it's easier for me on the example of St. Petersburg. Now I'll figure it out on the map. So, for each direction we must have at least two places. Near and far. For a close friend, I recommend using any tourist camp near a small village. If you have been outdoors near some lake or river, for example, barbecues, then it is quite possible to go there. First, you will know what to expect. Be aware of the availability of drinking water and food in the community. Second, you know the place. This will greatly support you psychologically. Refugees are a very sad picture, it's hard to look at them. But the “herd” exodus of refugees may not be organized by anyone, and you will dump one and without an end point where “some” red cross will accept you. Most likely it will be so, do not even hesitate. The first serious "benefactors" appeared in Chechnya after the first war. For two years the civilians were on their own. So, we have two points near the city. Now we need two points for a "deep" retreat. If you retreat to the North, then I would suggest the Solovetsky Monastery (on an island in the White Sea). There is a village. Rabocheostrovsk, there is a ferry crossing. Of course, there will be no ferry, but at the river station you can always "privatize" a rowboat. The White Sea is relatively calm. It is possible to swim across (difficult but possible, you have no more reasons to whine, so we row). In the East, I would retreat to the Iversky Monastery in Tver region. It is also located on a small island in the middle of the lake. Nearby there are food warehouses and production facilities (along the M10 highway).

Why monasteries? They will not be bombed in the first place (this does not mean that the list of targets will not change in the second stage). Yes, one more thing: leave the thought of Christian virtue at once. Nobody is waiting for you there and you will not be welcome. You go there to actually be sold into slavery. Wake up to work for them, housekeeping, guard or something else - they will feed you. You go and say right away as high-class ebony: "I am a strong healthy man, I will do any job for you, for food." Forget about the moral responsibility of priests to the laity right away, and better not even open your mouth about this.

Of course, everything is conditional. You can choose a different location. But the main principle: your property is no more, you are quite happy to be in a semi-slave position if you are fed. By the way, the absence of your property also means that no one else has it. Anyone who cannot defend his property with a weapon does not have property. This is for conversation: how to get a vehicle;)

Of course, there is no longer any public transport. It is a plus for us that now we can get into the car. The car can be "privatized" or found abandoned. An abandoned car with an empty tank does not need to be touched. You will not reach the fuel and lubricants, and even if you push it, you will go fuck yourself at the gas station. If you get hold of a car - hang it with white rags, ideally make a "cross" on the roof with red tape (this is not a panacea, such vehicles are bombed, but there are more chances that they will score more on you). Move slowly! 50-60 km / h. This was done for one simple reason: there can be ribbons with the military on the highway, if you go on them quickly, some "Ivan" will definitely shoot "just in case." Any civilians who want to stop you - go to the ass, turn the gas (they will not share with you, but they will ask you to "share"). If there is a ribbon or a separate box - slow down on the side of the road and stick out your hands up through the window or ajar. You do not need to get out of the car (you get out - there will be a desire to sneak you). Sit calmly and without nerves and pray silently. I don’t advise you to “burn through” the guys with a glance, look at the floor or forward.

If everything works out, then you have a roof over your head, work, food and people to talk to (this is also important). Now you can wait a week or two, see what is happening, assess the situation in the country and make further decisions.

Now a little cynicism. If you have a wagon train from your family, you are a dead man. If you have a family, then you must leave the city and be at the dacha (with supplies of food and water) in the first seconds as soon as people on the streets started swearing about Great Pu. If you do not have positions for retreat and have a "train" - you are a walking two-hundred, and a train too. Don't be an asshole, get ready in advance, your loved ones SHOULD TAKE ANYWHERE. And they must have food. Then do whatever you want. If you want to go back and fight, you want to go back to the clubs while your wife is "on potatoes." But the main thing is to think about them in advance, then it will be too late. Everything that I have told you so far is all for the "loners" who have nothing to lose. If you have a family, get ready in advance. As history has shown, the family is dearer than the Motherland, at least at the first stage.

Okay, that's it. With the maneuvers finished. Further I will tell you some specifics of the database. How to behave if you have seen enough patriotic films and, with a fool, decided to “die for the graves of grandfathers”. So that it does not turn into a "virtual club of thugs" - I will tell you some specific little things in theses. Wake up to know the different cunning that will help you more effectively protect the bright future of the Great Pu.

So, we start butting. This could have happened from the very beginning, or we previously ran and hid. The main thing is to understand that even if you are Rimbaud, you will not do anything alone. War is a team sport. Therefore, you must certainly join one of the parties to the conflict. Once again: you cannot fight alone! Even Vasya Zaitsev was fed and supplied with ammunition, so no tricks, commandos. Agree, volunteer, to any dirtiest job, but as part of the Armed Forces. Even if they make you a "shrew", that's fine too.

Immediately I say, any thoughts, aspirations and hopes that everything will be simple and understandable - discard immediately. There is always discord and insanity among the troops. Nobody really understands anything. Most of the officers are assholes, and the number of moral monsters who rushed to fight will go off scale. And this is normal (or rather, not normal, but the norm). Remember, no matter how smart you are - you stick your brains in the ass, and do everything exactly as you are told. Even if this is some kind of stupid evidence, you are NOT IMPROVISING. Everything is in accordance with the charter and orders. Whoever begins to "be smart", no matter how logical and reasonable it may seem, always gets caught up in the air.

- Remember, if your people yell at you - it's not bad. No need to snap back. It's bad when your own people shoot at you. And it also happens, since it is quite difficult to figure out where your own and where others are. The battles are maneuverable and the positions are constantly changing. You can confidently conduct a battle for several hours until the headquarters realizes, by radio communications, that you are kicking each other. So it also happens. And then there is no need to make claims to the "opponents", they did not like it either.

- Remember the weapon is always on the safety. You take it off only if you start shooting or walk in the "head patrol" (but YOU are unlikely to find yourself there, the commanders will not risk it). If next to you, on the march, there is a fool with the fuse removed - correct it. DO NOT PULL YOUR HANDS TO THE WEAPON. Correct with words, tell him about the fuse. If he sends the fuck, then make the decision for yourself: you can tell the sergeant or the officer, you can score whatever you want. But remember that a lot of guys were packed in 200 because of assholes who are careless with weapons. On the other hand, a fighter whom you substitute in front of the commander can then shoot at you. Decide for yourself. Better stand your ground and squeeze it yourself, if your character allows.

- Never aim a weapon at your own people. Even as a "joke", even the fuse, even with the magazine unfastened. You will be "punished" for such a trick.

- On AK, the translator (fuse) has three positions. Actually, blocking, automatic fire and single. If in panic you suddenly remove the fuse, then surely lower it all the way and put, there, in the single fire mode. This is done so that the soldier crap from horror does not lose the magazine in a second and is not left without cartridges. Remember this.

- The fuse on the AK clanks disgustingly enough. If you need to take it off quietly, then pull it back and smoothly switch it to the desired fire mode (this is, almost always, a single fire).

- Jump in place before going out. Make sure nothing is clanging or strumming at you. It is better to rewind the swivels on the weapon in advance with electrical tape or bandage. The cartridge is in the chamber, and on the fuse.

- Don't be an asshole. Examine the shooting tables for your weapon. The bullet is NOT FLYING DIRECTLY. It has a ballistic trajectory with overshoot and overshoot. Therefore, a competent determination of the distance to the target and knowledge of the shooting table is a good opportunity to hit quickly, and therefore reduce the time while they shoot at you.

- The wind affects the trajectory of the bullet. Study the effect of the wind on your weapon IN ADVANCE, and not on a hike and on a peephole.

- If you have the opportunity to choose a weapon - take the same (the same caliber) as most of your comrades. You cannot carry a lot of cartridges on yourself, but they end quickly, especially in the city, so if they can share with you, this is a big plus. If your friend was killed, do not hesitate to replenish your ammunition (after having received permission from the commander).

- If you go to "autonomous", then you take 360 rounds of ammunition (that's 12 magazines) and the same amount, but in packs you just throw them into your backpack. Save a lot in weight.

- Remember that the magazines located on the chest and abdomen are additional armor protection.

“Most of the deaths and injuries are from shrapnel. An ordinary freak quilted jacket is quite capable of protecting you from small fragments. Hanging on top of the unloading with stores - you can consider yourself relatively shitty protected. Don't forget to raise the gate.

- Bulletproof vest is very good. Any. Even the most used one.

“If you get hit by a bullet in your armor, it also means that he saved you. Since the energy of the bullet is stopped by the armor elements, it is capable of inflicting monstrous armor damage on you. Breaks the ribs almost always. Ordinary rupture is also possible. So if there is no hole in you, this is not a reason to rejoice. It happens that the hole would be "preferable".

- Don't touch the grenade launchers. It is difficult to shoot them. Leave that to your more experienced comrades.

- After spending several days in the fresh air, a smoker can be detected at a distance of 70-100 meters. Quit smoking.

- If you heard something - stop the group and "give silence." Listen carefully. Even if you slow down the group every five minutes, only rare assholes will swear at you.

- You never stop, you do not continue to stand. You need to kneel or lie down. It's very exhausting, but it's a matter of survival for the whole group. If something is too lazy to sit down - stick to this meerkat.

- There should be no finger on the trigger, even if the safety is on.

- On the marches, put the machine gun on your hands and cross them on your chest. It's easier to carry that way. In this case, the thumb of the other hand is always ready to remove from the safety catch, and throw up the weapon quickly enough.

- The belt (automatic) is always around the neck. Otherwise, if you fall into an ambush, there will be a mine explosion and you will fly in one direction, and your weapon in the other, and you turn from an easy 300 into 200.

- Don't sleep at the post. If you fall asleep, not only your enemies will want to shoot you. In the Second World War, for this, as well as for the loss of weapons, they were officially shot. Now they are shooting unofficially.

- You can pee on your knees without turning into a standing growth target.

- ONLY rootstock go to the toilet. One shit - the second covers. If no one wants to go with you - bear with it.

- Sneeze into yourself.

- He who runs slowly dies quickly.

- The effectiveness of grenades is overrated. There were cases when a grenade exploded in a small room, and there were only light concussions inside.

- You can't pull the check out with your teeth. Only with your fingers.

- If you are carrying out a sweep (the last hours of your life), then as in a joke: you see two of you in a room, first a grenade, then you.

- Standing in front of the door and waiting for your comrades who are going to storm, hold the door so that it cannot be opened. Otherwise, you will see either a grenade or a barrel in the corridor.

- Roll the grenade on the floor. Do not throw.

- They rolled a grenade, an explosion, rolled another one, but uncocked. Let them try to hide again.

- Do not run in front of a friend's trunk. You block his ability to shoot.

- Any closed door is INACTIVE, as it can be mined.

- Do not open the drawers, do not turn on the electronics. Do not touch anything. Anything can be mined. It is important. Up to the point that you cannot open the refrigerator, even if you really want to eat, and lift the toilet lid.

- There may be gaps in the walls covered with rags or carpets. So the enemy can quickly run from front to front. Remember this. The fact that you are in an extreme apartment does not mean that you cannot enter from the next one through the wall.

- You can hang nets from old Soviet beds on the windows. They stop VOGs well.

- You may hear meowing from, for example, a closet door. I'm sorry, but the animal is doomed. Most likely he was locked up there along with a grenade. You cannot open it. This is a very difficult moment, always, in such difficult situations, you want to remain human, but …

- If you need to shoot from the premises to the street, then you do not need to crawl to the windowsill or stand to the side of the window. Go deeper into the room, stand on a stool, covered with a wall, or the like. And don't turn on the light, you can't, don't light yourself up (I'm not talking about VU).

- Shards of brick or concrete, knocked out by fire, have the ability to fly at you. On eye contact … you get the idea.

- It's useless to shoot people from a grenade launcher. Although now, it seems, they began to make high-explosive fragmentation shells, but, IMHO, this is heresy.

- It's a bad idea to shoot for a long time without changing position.

- Bend down.

- No need to "figure out the snipers." It’s not your job, and you don’t have enough knowledge. Fight on without paying attention.

- Be prepared, morally, to "work out" the civilians who spotted you. Including women and children. If the prospect is not happy, then move carefully.

- On the AK-74 (a specimen with good accuracy of combat), you can attach the PSO sight from the SVD. At distances of 500-600 meters, the AK-74 and SVD have very close trajectories, the sight will fit perfectly. Wake up to shoot and carry fire, because of the caliber, much faster than with the SVD. And the assholes who decide to look for a sniper will not be interested in you.

- It is NOT POSSIBLE to shoot from the grenade launcher in the room. He has a platoon time. He needs to fly 15-25 meters before the grenade is cocked. Accordingly, it simply will not work indoors.

- Modern RGO and RGN grenades explode FIRSTLY on impact. They have a shock fuse. and an explosion through the gap - this triggers a self-liquidator (in case the grenade fell into loose snow)

- No one, not even sappers, is engaged in the removal of mines and explosive devices. They stupidly undermine them with a TNT stick. No need to be clever and start filming the VU.

- Normal warriors put secrets on stretch marks, so that they won't be removed in a simple way. So "cutting the thread" is a bad idea. Just walk by. This is not your crap, there are older comrades for this.

I will not teach you how to do VU and stretch marks. I think you understand that this is an article right away. Learn first aid.

- With injuries, there are venous and arterial bleeding. They are "treated" in different ways. But something else is important here. There is no time in the heat of battle. With venous bleeding, a comrade will die for several hours, and with arterial bleeding literally 10–20 seconds, and then loss of consciousness and hypoxia begins. So, so as not to take a steam bath, quickly put an arterial guzzle over the wound (now the interns will start to resent, but such is life, this is not a citizen, you have to break it) and return to battle. Your comrade will have half an hour or an hour to figure it out yourself, well, or you will do it when you are free.

- The tourniquet is always at hand! Neither in a bag, nor in a backpack, or wound on a stock, or in an unloading at hand.

- There are always TWO harnesses with you! You can give one to a wounded comrade and in a minute get a bullet in the femoral artery.

- There is such a thing as "suppression by fire." By actively watering the enemy, it is often possible to shackle his actions without even getting hit and without causing damage to manpower. Especially the tracer will help you.

- Remember the tracer, in addition to the fact that the trunk is very much stained, they also give out your position. So don't overuse them. Yes, and aimed fire is difficult with them.

- Weapons need to be cleaned every day. Especially gentle in the muzzle brake area. If there is a groove or a hole, then the accuracy of the battle will fall to hell.

- The last three rounds in the store, it is better to score with tracers. So that an empty store does not come as a surprise to you. Moreover, if you leave one cartridge in the barrel, then you will only have to spur a new magazine, that is, the reload speed will increase.

- Watch your feet, do not be lazy to wash them. Rub it and you are no longer a warrior.

- If you see that someone can shoot at rest, this is not a reason to shoot. If you are not noticed, ask the commander if you can get involved in the battle.

- If you have noticed someone, but have not seen you yet, do not jump sharply to the side. Peripheral vision will give you away instantly. Sit down gently and smoothly, without rushing, and calmly take a position. It will be much less noticeable.

- Remember, when sending the cartridge to the chamber, the bolt must be released sharply so that it clangs. Otherwise, it will "gag".
