Author: Chang Youli
77 years ago, the Soviet Red Army won the victory of anti-fascist war after bloody battles. In that war, the Soviet Union was the absolute main force. And after 77 years, when facing the Ukrainian neo-Nazis, Russia, the largest heir of Soviet legacy, once again came to the forefront. Victory Day of the Patriotic War is Russia's second only to the New Year's Festival, which is as grand as our National Day. Because The victory of the Soviet Patriotic War is no less than rebuilding the Soviet Union.
This victory comes from Moscow Defense Battle . The Soviet Red Army walked past Red Square and defeated the fascist Nazis on the front line. This military parade became extremely important because of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. In order to boost morale, Moscow dispatched 11,000 people and 131 sets of modern equipment. Although the Air Force did not participate due to weather reasons, it did not affect the importance of the military parade. In addition to various weapons, the commander of this military parade and the story behind him are also worthy of our attention.
Army Commander-in-Chief Salyukov
. How is the Russian hero trained
This time, the Russian Army Commander-in-Chief Salyukov was commanding the Russian military parade. It can be said that he is the hero of the Russian army and the recreator of the Russian army. He was born in Penza, downstream of Volga River, and to the east is the endless Ukrainian Plain. We all know how important the Ukrainian Plain is to Russia. During the of World War II, the Soviet army stationed millions of troops in Ukraine, because once the Ukrainian plain was lost, the enemy could directly penetrate Moscow.
Because this is a place that must be fought for by military strategists, many arsenals are built in Penza. There is the famous Engels Airport here and there are a large number of military camps. Engels Airport is the headquarters of the Soviet Air Force. The NATO , which is called a behemoth by NATO , often takes off here. Sarukov was born here and naturally was influenced by a strong military atmosphere since childhood. His father was a World War II hero and was awarded the First Class of Patriotic War and the Red Star Medal. Salyukov also became a soldier. He graduated from the Ulyanovsk Tank Command School in 1977. He can be said to be a general.
Sarukov started out as a tank soldier, and then went through positions such as platoon leader, company commander, battalion commander, etc. The young Salyukov often drives the tank himself. Being familiar with the equipment of your army is what a commander should do the most. Salyukov once stayed in the T64 tank for several hours. This is very difficult for other comrades. Because the operating room of the T64 tank is very small, staying here for a few hours is very difficult for the tall and powerful Slav .
Because he is very familiar with the troops, Salyukov often leads the troops to achieve excellent results during exercises. During an exercise, Salyukov directly led his brothers to the local command center and cut off the other party's logistics. The Soviet Union attached great importance to the mechanized troops and interspersed tactics, so he praised Salyukov's performance.
Since 1984, Salyukov has been promoted from deputy commander of the tank to deputy division commander. At this time, Salyukov was already a senior general of the Soviet army. After the collapse of , Sarukov remained in the Russian army. This decision is a blessing for the Russian army. During the Yeltsin era, Salyukov studied at the Russian Military Academy for two years, and he was not valued during the Yeltsin era.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia experienced years of shock therapy. Shock therapy not only caused Russia to shock , but also caused the Russian army to shock. Due to the continuous economic downturn, Russia no longer has the funds to maintain such a large army. The Russian army could not pay wages all year round, and many officers from the Soviet era were exiled, and Salyukov was transferred to the Far East Military Region as the division commander. The Far East Military Region is one of the least important military regions in Russia. At this time, Russia used a lot of military expenditure to , the Caucasus region, . The western and southern military regions are the focus of Russia, and the Far East Military Region of Salyukov is a typical example of long-term wage arrears.

Salukov was loyal to the Soviet Union and Russia. When his colleagues withdrew one after another, Salukov stayed in the Far East Military Region and worked all the way from the division commander to the Chief of Staff of the Far East Military Region. It is gold that will always shine. In a clear yamen like the Far East Military Region, Salyukov was attracted by Putin . After experiencing the confusion of the 1990s, Russia ushered in glory in the Putin era.
In 2008, Russia fought the Russia-Germany War . Although the Russian army defeated the Georgian army in just five days, they also exposed the ground troops' slow response. The 58th Army's rapid response unit has a serious disconnection with the mechanized troops behind. To solve this problem, Serdukov, then Minister of Defense, began to reform the army. The direction of this reform is to transform the division into a brigade, simplifying the weight of the Russian army as much as possible. But this also exposed many problems, because the Russian military system was too streamlined to prevent them from dealing with large-scale military conflicts. Serdukov was dismissed in 2009.

2. Rebuilding the hero of the Russian army
In order to clean up this mess, Putin activated Shoigu, and Salyukov became an important helper. At this time, Salyukov was transferred to the position of deputy chief of staff. In order to adapt the Russian army to modernization reform, Salyukov mainly adjusted its firepower and informatization. Sarukov changed Serjuv's policy of simplifying it and designed rocket artillery brigades, missile brigades and artillery brigades for the Russian army to maximize the firepower of the Russian army.
Another aspect is to promote command informatization. According to Salyukov's plan, the Russian army needs to complete strategic automation. The so-called strategic automation means that the Russian commander only needs to click the mouse on the computer, and the Russian army on the front line can receive instructions to attack. In 2014, Salyukov was also appointed commander-in-chief of the Army. Salyukov's tactical adjustments helped the Russian army very much. Donbass War and Syrian War , the Russian army has experienced the benefits of strong firepower.
During the Donbass War, the Ukrainian army was at a loss in the face of the Russian army's targeted attack on the bee swarms and artillery. In the Donbass War, the Russian army defeated the elite 60,000 Ukrainian troops with only five battalion-level combat groups to lose their armor. In the Syrian War, the Russian army used its powerful firepower to cooperate with the Syrian government forces and achieved brilliant results. In this Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Russian military's powerful firepower once again played a role.
Russian artillery
In the entire Donbas battlefield, the Russian army rarely directly sent ground troops to attack, mainly bombing the entire Ukrainian fortification area with firepower. When several company-level units were bombed to a point of only a dozen people, ground troops were sent to clear them. The Ukrainian army was very desperate about this. Without air supremacy , any counterattack or retreat of the Ukrainian army will suffer more severe losses than hiding in the bunker.
Russian Ministry of Defense In the second phase of the war report, we often hear that the Russian army used firepower to kill hundreds of Ukrainian troops. This is all Salyukov's credit. It can be said that Salyukov is a hero of the recreation of the Russian army. In order to reward him, Salyukov became the commander-in-chief of the military parade many times, and this year is no exception. This is the greatest affirmation of this hero.
3. Ukraine's "hero"
When Russia rewards its own heroes, the "hero" promoted by Ukraine has become an international joke. At the beginning, the 13 warriors of Snake Island advocated by the Ukrainian army died heroically, but finally found that they were captured by the Russian army. Later, they commended the brigade commander of the 36th Brigade who died bravely and voluntarily surrendered to the Russian army. The brigade commander is Colonel Baranuk, and he is also a regular visitor to the Russian army.
Colonel Baranuk was captured by the Russian army in 2014 during the Donbass War. Later, when he returned to Ukraine, he became the brigade commander. Due to Ukraine's massive anti-Soviet opposition, many old military officers in the Soviet era did not gain the trust of the Western Ukrainian government. Colonel Baranuk was able to climb up because he did have two tricks in politics.
Baranuk
This time because he was surrounded by Mariupol , the Ukrainian authorities awarded Colonel Baranuk the title of Ukrainian hero to boost morale. But in the face of reality, false honors are no longer important. The Baranuk was completely disappointed with Ukraine. He was deeply trapped in a siege. The helicopter sent by the Ukrainian authorities did not rescue these experienced senior officers first, but instead wanted to rescue the mercenary here . This is the sorrow of Ukraine.
