Biographies of Alimov

A pilot with a difficult character. In the Soviet Army since the year. In the year he graduated from the Saratov Higher Military Aviation School of pilots. In the year he took part in the elimination of the consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Member of the hostilities in the North Caucasus. More than 30 soldiers and officers saved the life.

Alimov participated in the salvation of the pilot of the Su airplane, under the enemy’s dagger fire, Alimov managed to plant his “Mi-8” helicopter and pick up the crew, paratroopers and the search and rescue group of the shot down helicopter on his board. His run-winged machine, despite the penetrated fuel tank and broken radio, was able to take off. On February 15, the courage and heroism, manifested in the performance of military duty during the counter-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus region, V.

Alimov was awarded the title of Hero of Russia. It was unsafe without a pass at such a time. I did not have to count on dinner and overnight, but meteorologists suggested a roof over his head. Only one person could meet me here as a brother - my long -standing friend, commander of the helicopter crew Major Alimov. But his business trip ended a few days ago, I sadly shared with new acquaintances.

Call, here is the call sign of the Alimov squadron, - meteorologists suggested to me. Not yet knowing exactly where Vladimir is, what was busy, it immediately became somehow calm in his soul: he will definitely come. And I was not mistaken. Probably, the fate itself was inscribed to Vladimir, constantly risking, to help people out of trouble. Save, in spite of any circumstances and difficulties.

Hero of Russia V. When the Chernobyl tragedy broke out, he was among the first to fly there. From the far from the shores of Pripyat Aralsk, they flew for almost a day, with short, for refueling, plantings. Already on the way to the power plant, the crews received the task of changing the course, reset spilling devices. It turned out that with this requirement, Academician of Legasov, who arrived at the KP head of the flights, saved the crews of helicopters from the faithful death: the water in a red -hot reactor would serve as a catalyst for a chain reaction.

Accepted another cargo. To tame the breathable nuclear vent began to dump parachutes. They came to the target at an altitude of less than meters at a speed of just more than 50 kilometers per hour. Jewelry accuracy was required. In two days, Alimov made 35 visits to the reactor, dropping more than 45 tons of special cargo on him. Above the reactor, the temperature in the helicopter cab reached 80 degrees.

Real Hell. Hell, in which Alimov and his comrades went deliberately to prevent the atomic elements of the atomic element in the cities and villages. Then they had no time for calculating the received radiation dose. They understood: their performance is hundreds, thousands of preserved human lives. Doctors calculated: Alimov received 31 x -rays. Eight months of continuous treatment.

Those days he remembers per monstrous. Because the verdict of his flight work could sound at any time. And what for him for life without flights? He resisted the disease with each of his cells: with the brain, body, his character. He mentioned the character not by chance. For fifteen years of acquaintance, Vladimir had to see in a variety of situations: in the service, in the family, at regimental evenings of rest.

And always he creates such a favorable atmosphere for work, communication, relaxing people surrounding him that you are imbued with it in any mood. His state of mind is somehow at ease is perceived by others. Well, how can you combine incompatible imbalance and calm? It turns out that one another is not a hindrance, if a person is able to fully understand the measure of responsibility for the assigned business, aimed at victory.

Vladimir polished flight art in the air and on Earth. They flew a lot together even before the first Chechen campaign. But it was there, in Chechnya, that Nikolai Viktorovich saw a pilot from God in a comrade. You will not often hear such words from another pilot. In two months, Alimov made more sorties more than four per day. And half of them at night. And this despite the fact that the Mi-8 helicopter is not equipped for conducting combat and search operations at night.

Vladimir Rishadovich compensated for this drawback - he studied the area to the smallest detail. And each time, returning to the base airfield, he delved into a folding tactical situation in detail, studied intelligence data. Therefore, he was always ready to carry out the most difficult combat mission. Is it a joke: in two months, he with the crew destroyed more than 80 vehicles with militants, ammunition, fuel supply.

He accurately landed in the rear of the enemy of the reconnaissance group, exactly at the appointed time took them aboard after completing combat missions. The special forces, these fearless and desperate guys, were amazed at the skill and courage of the pilot, literally pulling them out of the most hopeless situations.Three of these became the heroes of Russia in the first Chechen campaign.

The order of courage was added to the Order of the Red Star for those glorious affairs of Vladimir. The gear raid and flight equipment was preparing a presentation for awarding medals. Alimov showed character. And all three received orders. I will give only some episodes of his combat work, reflected in the award sheet. Alimova was conducted from air from the air at the front of the MSP.

In the area of ​​n. The Gorogorsk crew was discovered by a group of militants on the regiment that is dominant along the route of the nomination of the regiment. Correctly determining the situation and choosing the direction of the attack, the crew of Major V. Alimova completely destroyed a group of militants with fire with fire weapons, and then landed to the height to hold it until the advanced forces of the motorized rifle regiment, which was on board the reconnaissance group.

This allowed the subdivisions of the SME at the indicated time without the resistance of the militants and without loss of personnel and equipment to take the planned positions. Alimov carried out a combat mission to help and save the special forces group of internal troops, which fell into the environment in the area of ​​N. Sernovodsk at a height, 9.

Major Alimov V. At this point, our troops were completely surrounded. Having evaluated the situation, under the guise of Major Alimov V., for several minutes, the entire group had to conduct fierce battle, covering the evacuation of military personnel, four of whom were injured. Risking his own life, under the constant fire of the enemy, Major Alimov V. plunging all the military personnel, with the multiple bullet holes of the helicopter, having performed an anti -fan maneuver, Major Alimov V.

Personal heroism and courage, endurance and composure, skillful management of Major Alimov V. Bamut arshty. On this day, complex weather conditions did not allow two helicopter crews that flew up earlier. Leaving the turn, Major Alimov found a window in clouds, went out into a given area and landed at a distance of 1.5 km from n. Bamut, who was fighting. After landing, the fog dropped, abundant snow went.

The special forces group, on board, took a circular defense. Within 8 hours, the crew of the helicopter of Major Alimova was on the site in the waiting mode of the wounded military personnel. The crew commander organized the protection and defense of the site, since there were no units of the federal forces, led the placement of the wounded. In flight, the autopilot refused, the anti -icing system could not cope with increased icing.

But in spite of everything, Major Alimov V. The flight was carried out in complex weather conditions, at the lower border of cloudiness of 80 - 90 meters and visibility of meters. Yarysh-Marda Group of Major Alimov was at point-blank fired by militants in ambush. Seeing the ruptures of the shells of anti -aircraft installations, he gave the command to open fire.

After a few seconds, he heard on the air the report of one of the leaders - Major Vyacheslav Khristoforov on the direct hit of the projectile, the refusal of the hydraulic systems and the fall of the helicopter, giving the order to the second led to cover from the air, Major Alimov led his helicopter to land at increased speed in steep glexide, thereby creating the appearance of an uncontrolled helicopter.

During a decrease, he fell under the squall fire of the militants, as a result of which radio communications and a fire control chain were disabled. After landing, the crew commander ordered the personnel of the parachute-landing group on board, to disperse and fire the fire weapon fire to cover the evacuation of the crew and the landing group of the downed helicopter.
