One of the actively discussed topics of late is the situation with the Russian Air Force. In periodicals, analytical reviews appear almost regularly on the conditions of service of young pilots, as well as experienced flight personnel of military units in various military districts of the country. But often these reviews are based either on strict official statistics or on data obtained from respondents who are far from direct service in the ranks of the Air Force.
There is a dynamic discussion of issues related to the extent to which the promises of the authorities regarding the technical, financial and social security of the military personnel of the Air Force units fit into the situation that is taking place in reality. At the same time, to be honest, you can talk as much as you like on the designated topic, refer to official statistics, publish interviews with high-ranking military personnel, but this is unlikely to form a picture of understanding what problems are of concern today. Russian pilots, especially those who have recently entered the service, having received a diploma of graduation from a flying university.
That is why Voennoye Obozreniye decided to provide its readers with the opportunity to learn about the situation in the country's Air Force, as they say, firsthand. To solve this problem, an interview was taken with a career soldier of one of the aviation groups. Note that the pilot agreed to a conversation with VO journalists on condition that a certain amount of anonymity was observed. And this requirement is understandable, because any information related to military service and the activities of military units, told to journalists, may cause a negative attitude towards the respondent pilot on the part of certain forces (Lipetsk precedent is a clear confirmation of this).
A fertile ground, let's say, for a conversation with a representative of the flight crew was the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Russian Air Force, during which representatives of various aviation military units gathered at one of the airfields of the Voronezh region to participate in festive events with a demonstration of both modernized and new samples aviation technology and their own flying skills.
The servicemen with whom the Voennoye Obozreniye journalist managed to talk is Senior Lieutenant Vladimir D., an officer of one of the air groups of the Southern Military District, a bomber pilot.
Vladimir, firstly, let me congratulate you on a big aviation holiday - the 100th anniversary of the Air Force, and secondly, thank you for taking the time to talk to the Voennoye Obozreniye correspondent, despite your very busy schedule. If you do not mind, then we can start our conversation.
Thanks for the compliments. The 100th anniversary of the Air Force is a really big date, which suggests that Russian aviation has both a glorious past and, of course, a promising future. I am ready to answer your questions.
Vladimir, if you will, let us begin our conversation with your first steps in aviation. In what year did you graduate from the flight school, and how did you find yourself in the air group that you represent today?
I graduated from the Krasnodar Military Aviation Institute in 2007. Despite the name "Krasnodar", by that time the university had already united several branches at once located in the territory of other cities: Armavir ( Krasnodar region), Balashov (Saratov region) and Borisoglebsk (Voronezh region). Today, by the way, KVAI is the only military university in our country that prepares military pilots to fly aircraft. On the one hand, this may seem to someone a fact, rather sad. There were, as they say, "empty sets", there were sets of 15 people each (from among Russian citizens), but today, as far as I know, the university is afloat - the recruitment of young cadets has been resumed in full. I do not have an exact figure, but I want to believe that the transition period is over.
Speaking personally about me, in my current air group I ended up in the most usual way - through the distribution of personnel. Even during training in the last year, each of the cadets (including myself) had a conversation, during which a certain choice of a possible place of future service was offered. I was very happy when I saw a variant of one of the Rostov military units in the list of proposals, since I myself am from the same region. Therefore, the question was solved for me personally very successfully.
Vladimir, did you manage to start a family at the time of graduation?
Yes, I found a life partner as a 4th year student at the institute, and by the time the service began directly in the military unit, our family was expecting a child.
If it does not bother you, then tell us about what conditions you and your family were expecting in the new place? What was the situation with the place of residence and money allowance? Can we say that your expectations were met?
The fact is that in terms of starting a career as a pilot, I am hardly an exception to the rule. When my family and I arrived at the place of service, we were expected by what the overwhelming majority of servicemen are expecting today, namely, housing problems. For those lieutenants who did not have time to acquire a family, places were provided in the hostel (namely, places - not rooms). For families, you understand, this option is not considered, so we rented an apartment in the city, for which we received a monthly monetary compensation in the amount of 3600 rubles (2007, - comment of "Voennoye Obozreniye"). For provincial town, a few kilometers from which our unit was located, the amount of 3600 rubles was, in principle, acceptable, unless you suddenly decided to rent an apartment, of course ... As far as I know, for rural areas this amount was about half as much, but for major cities- 2.5 times higher. Certainly for big city(I'm not even talking about Moscow) - not enough, but all the young pilots knew even at the military university what they were doing, so it’s impossible to say that this is "like someone on a head".
Today there is no such compensation; it, as they say, has been monetized. And how much this monetization corresponds to the cost of renting an apartment for a pilot (and for any other military personnel) is a question that is different for everyone.
By the way, at the beginning of my flying career, I received about 23-25 thousand rubles, which was twice the average salary in the region (this is kind of like according to official statistics). It cannot be said that our family was in full of delight, but no one said that it was pennies. It was enough, but like any normal person, he wanted more. More came, but over time ... Therefore, to say that my expectations were not met ... No, I probably won't say that ... Moreover, no one promised us any "golden mountains" ...
What was your paycheck at first, and what is it now?
I will say this: before the change in the options for paying the allowance, everything looked something like this: a) salary according to rank, b) payments for length of service, c) bonus for complexity and tension. At the same time, as far as I know, according to the law, this allowance should not exceed 100% of the basic salary. We, young pilots, the command of the air group went to meet and paid the maximum maximum - exactly 100% of the salary. There are also some local and personal coefficients, but the young replenishment of aviation units should not pay attention to them.
Today's pilot's pay is, in fact, formed according to the same principles. The only significant change concerns the fact that all the benefits that the pilots enjoyed earlier have now been converted into monetary equivalent, and there has also appeared (and was recently extended) Order No. 400 of the Ministry of Defense, according to which officers receive bonus funding.
Vladimir, I'm sorry I have to interrupt you. Today, both among the pilots and in the press, a serious discussion has flared up precisely about this bonus funding. You should be aware of what happened in one of the Lipetsk air units when a junior officer openly accused the commanders of misappropriating additional payments. By the way, not so long ago I managed to have a little talk with a representative of the aviation of the Eastern Military District, who said that a certain kind of "financial hazing" is taking place. In this regard, if possible, clarify the situation with additional funding in your military unit.
Yes, of course, I am aware of the Lipetsk case, as I also know that it is far from the only one in our country. This, unfortunately ... I know that there are extortions in certain aviation units of Russia - I have comrades who say that bonus funding is distributed, to put it mildly, not proportionally. But at the same time, is it worth talking here about some kind of tendency in the military environment? I can give you tons of examples from other areas where fraud is pretty rampant. You don't have to look far for examples: my wife works in the field of education. As far as I know, teachers are also entitled to payments from ... a seemingly "above-tariff fund" - I won't say exactly the term. And this above-tariff fund, the most interesting thing, is distributed by the authorities. You yourself understand that the amount of bonus payments in this case also depends on how much a particular teacher is ideologically close to the leadership. And if the teacher decides to notify the “upper classes” about this, then he will hardly be able to prove anything ... that's how everything is arranged with us. Therefore, I believe that the army is not an exception here.
If we are talking about my military unit, then I can declare with full responsibility, believe it or not, all bonus funding, at least the one I know about, is divided between all personnel strictly equally. I, frankly, do not understand why bonuses should be paid exclusively to me, as a pilot, if the preparation for my flights is taken by a whole group of people: from a technician and navigator to the commander of a military unit. Therefore, I consider the option that is practiced in our air group to be the most acceptable. But, again, I am not a representative of the financial unit, so I cannot tell you exactly what amounts are allocated by the state as these bonus finances and on what principle the Ministry of Defense sees this distribution in general. The system in which it is necessary to identify those who are better and those who are worse in our country, it seems to me, will not work very soon. Therefore, I consider the option of equal distribution of additional financing to be quite normal in the conditions in which we are working today. Let my words not be liked by someone ...
Vladimir, do you think that the increase in the pay of pilots (as well as of other servicemen) by the state did not compensate for those benefits that were taken away from the military?
You know, here we need to talk about who and what benefits had before this monetization, and who received what bonus as a result. Yes, of course, before any officer could go on vacation with the whole family, and the cost of tickets was compensated to him. It was possible even to ride in a luxurious carriage or fly to the place in a special class in the liner, then providing tickets to the financial unit for payment. There is no such thing today. But the salary that most military pilots receive today may well be enough for recreation and Baikal, and in Sochi, and the Maldives ... Therefore, perhaps, 100% monetization cannot be called here, but also an increase in monetary contentment scanty, too, does not turn his tongue. Yes, and "real money" is still better than benefits that could not always be used. By the way, you know that some of the benefits remain: for example, a preferential queue for housing, the opportunity to place a child in a kindergarten ...
I cannot ignore the problem that worries many young pilots: a new figure for the required flight time (100 hours per year). According to a certain percentage of both the pilots themselves and other interested persons, young lieutenants, for objective reasons, cannot master 100 hours per year in the sky at the helm of a combat aircraft, and therefore their monetary allowance is seriously affected. Because of this, many young personnel, as reported by a number of media outlets, are trying to leave the Air Force, using a variety of opportunities for this, including the medical flight commission. How can you comment on the situation with the tight hourly limit for the pilot and with the layoffs of young pilots from the Air Force. Is the layoff of young people from the Air Force a trend?
If you want to hear my opinion, then it is this: these 100 hours is a figure that should not look so overstated. Although everything here depends on the level of equipment of the military unit. For example, in the air group in which I serve, young pilots today are quite difficult to gain the prescribed hours in the sky. This is connected not with the fact that we are not given the opportunity to fly, but with the fact that combat training missions do not always allow us to carry out such a raid. For example, the usual, as we call it, a flight circle on duty takes about 8-10 minutes, or even less. If we take into account that during the year the pilot will carry out activities only in such a duty version, then he flies, at best, 40 hours. However, today young pilots have the opportunity to participate not only in duty flights, but to take part in training operations, mass exercises integrated with other branches of the armed forces, in the end, such events as the one for which several aircraft of our air group arrived in the Voronezh region.
Therefore, if a young pilot is able to prove himself well, if, as they say, he is “sick of the sky,” then a 100-hour flight is not at all a transcendental line. After all, even the 100-hour bar itself is not an incentive for a young pilot to achieve noticeable results? By my own example, I can say that this will take some work, but most of them graduate from a military school for this, in order to fly, no matter what. I know, for example, that my classmate who serves in the Khabarovsk Territory at one of the air bases Pacific Fleet, today makes more than 180 flight hours per year. According to him, the number of flight hours went up sharply after it was announced to them that the pilots of the Pacific Fleet would take part in the aerial combat protection of the APEC summit facilities. In the south of Russia, the Olympics are ahead; there is information that the aviation units of the Rostov, Voronezh, Volgograd regions, Krasnodar Territory and other southern regions will soon begin conducting joint exercises to secure Olympic venues from the air. I hope that I will have a chance to take part in these air maneuvers.
As for the desire of a certain number of young pilots to resign, I can say the following. Those who quit in the last year or two from our flight group (and this, if my memory serves me, three people) are natives of our capitals. On the one hand, you can understand them - a salary of 60-65 thousand for a Muscovite may seem low, but on the other hand ... No, I don't presume to judge them ...
As you said, "can we talk about a trend" in relation to layoffs. This is a difficult question. If you count all the young lieutenants who arrived in our air group for recent times(since 2007), then there are 11 of them (together with me). As I said, three of them wrote the report. Perhaps I will not undertake to call it a fluidity or a negative tendency. Just do not forget that I am talking about my air group, and I simply cannot judge on an all-Russian scale - I do not have such data. And dismissal through a medical flight commission is an option that was used 5, 10 and 20 years ago.
Where are those who wrote the report going to work?
Naturally, I do not know about all of them, but one, I know for sure, was going to switch to civil aviation. Only he hoped that he would be put in the cockpit of a civilian liner immediately, but he was told that he needed to take retraining courses. These courses cost about $ 12,000 (minimum) for those with a military pilot's diploma. Therefore, I will tell those who are going to easily switch from military aviation in the civil society - save money ... And those who decide to forever tie with the sky, find themselves in business and in other areas. But, excuse me, it is not for me to judge their choice ...
Vladimir, how are things in your air group with the replenishment of the fleet of combat vehicles, with the advanced training of young pilots?
I cannot say that we have all moved to new aircraft, but the existing models have been updated regularly lately. The aircraft are equipped with new technical means of communication and weapons. Constant modernization just dictates the need to improve their own qualifications. Moreover, every young lieutenant in our unit has the opportunity to obtain the qualification "Pilot of the 3rd class" within a few months after arriving from a military university.
What is needed for this?
To do this, you need to pass an exam, which consists of two parts. The first part is theoretical. It consists in checking the knowledge of the pilot's normative documentation, and the second - performing a practical task directly on the combat vehicle. The whole difficulty for me personally was that, having passed the theoretical part, I could not pass the practice in any way. The problem was the following: to complete a practical task, of course, you need certain equipment. My task was to bomb the indicated square. But it turned out that either there were no bombs, or the plane was not ready to fly ... And the theoretical part, during the waiting time for several weeks of bombs and bomber repairs, "burned out", it was necessary to hand over everything anew. But in the end, the surrender was successful.
And you did not get the impression that the absence of bombs in the warehouse you mentioned is just an excuse so as not to assign you as young pilot qualifications?
Not at all! After all, they rented for more high class and experienced pilots, and they were in the same conditions as me. Therefore, the whole problem was in the equipment. This problem continues to manifest itself today, but on a much smaller scale.
The state is in dire need of strong army... For this reason, the recruitment of contract servicemen is actively underway. They are able to successfully replace conscripts. In order to attract as many new contract employees as possible, it is planned to increase the salaries of military personnel this and next year.
Russia has a huge number of weapons of mass and local destruction. Against this background, there is a need for specialists capable of providing proper maintenance.
About 1/3 of the state budget is spent on servicing the military forces. Part is spent on the development of the latest weapons. The second part goes to payments to the military.
The total salary of military personnel consists of:
- Oklad.
- Additional payments.
- Premium.
What influences
The salaries of Russian military personnel are influenced by the following:
- length of service;
- personal merits;
- service time;
- rank.
The military receives a salary depending on the length of service. Persons serving over the polar pole receive a bonus.
12 months of service goes into service as 24 months.
Personal merit refers to accomplished deeds. It also matters where the soldier served. Employees in hot spots are paid more.
Pros and cons of contract ministry. Watch the video.
Other allowances
There are other allowances as well. They contact:
- knowledge of several languages;
- the presence of VO;
- excellent physical training.
It also takes into account how a person is able to make a decision in a critical situation.
Percentage
The amount of monthly salary allowances in the Russian Federation looks like this:
- length of service - 11-39%;
- high qualifications - 6-29%;
- secrecy - 66%;
- specific conditions - 100%;

During the Second World War simple collective farmers gave the heroes personalized tanks and planes
Victory in the Great Patriotic War was forged not only at the front, but also in the rear. “Days and nights at the open-hearth furnaces did not close our eyes,” - these words from the song reflect the true picture of those days. But there was another source of resources for the front - personal contributions of citizens to the Defense Fund for the acquisition military equipment for the Red Army.
The newspaper Pravda, dated December 18, 1942, published a message from F.P. Golovaty to I.V. Stalin:
Quote:
Moscow, Kremlin, Comrade Stalin
Dear Joseph Vissarionovich!
Seeing off my two sons to the front, I gave them my father's order to beat the German invaders mercilessly, and for my part I promised my children to help them with selfless labor in the rear.
Having learned about your welcoming telegram to the Saratov collective farmers and collective farmers and wanting to help the heroic Red Army to quickly destroy the German fascist gangs, I decided to give all my savings for the construction of combat aircraft.
The Soviet government made me a well-to-do collective farmer, and now, when the Motherland is in danger, I decided to help her with everything I can. Everything that I have earned with my honest labor on the collective farm, I give it to the fund of the Red Army. On December 15, I contributed 100 thousand rubles to the State Bank and ordered a combat aircraft as a gift to the defenders of the Motherland. Let my war machine smash the German invaders, let it bring death to those who mock our brothers, innocent Soviet people. Hundreds of squadrons of combat aircraft, built on the personal savings of collective farmers, will help our Red Army to quickly clear our sacred land of German invaders.
Collective farmer of the collective farm "Stakhanovets" of the Novo-Pokrovsky district Saratov region Ferapont Holovaty
Pravda newspaper, December 18, 1942:

Thank you, Ferapont Petrovich, for your concern for the Red Army and its air forces. The Red Army will not forget that you gave all your savings for the construction combat aircraft.
Please accept my greetings.

"A gift to my son" - a step towards immortality
Ilya Andreevich and Maria Filippovna Shirmanovs from the Chuvash Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic donated all their savings to the construction of a tank for their only son Andrei, who served in the 162nd Tank Brigade.
A tank with the inscription "Gift to Son", built at the Ural plant, was handed over to the crew at the beginning of June 1943. The rally on the occasion of the transfer of the car was attended by the parents of the fighter. They were photographed together on the armor. The photo shows Ilya Andreevich's weary hands.
Unfortunately, parental love did not save Andrei. Senior sergeant, gunner, Andrei Shirmanov fought bravely on a personalized tank for almost a year, and died heroically along with the crew in the battle near Chernivtsi.
Everything is for Victory
Over the years of the war, the Defense Fund received from citizens of the USSR over 16 billion rubles, 13 kg of platinum, 131 kg of gold, 9519 kg of silver, 1.8 billion rubles of jewelry, over 0.5 billion rubles of deposits in savings banks (in prices of 1941), in the amount of over 4.5 billion rubles of government bonds. These funds were used to build 2,500 combat aircraft, more than 30,000 tanks and self-propelled guns, 8 submarines, 16 military boats and many other military equipment.
Yak-7 fought for the homeland "For Victory!" Wolf Messing, the Russian Song tank of the Voronezh Russian Folk Choir, the IS-2 Vladimir Mayakovsky heavy tank purchased by the artist Yakhontov, the Merciless KV built for the Stalin Prize of the famous Kukryniksy, the T-34 Grozny built for the Alexey State Prize Tolstoy ... The enemy was smashed by the tanks "Baikalsky Rybak" and "Yeisk Collective Farmer", "Verkhovsky Railwayman" and "Verkhoyansk Hunter", "Makeevsky Schoolboy" and "Komsomolets Nordvika", "Malyutka" and "Tanya". The enemy was beaten by the crews of combat vehicles "Amur Avenger", "For Radianska Ukraine", "Mariupol - revenge", "Kramarev Erast Fedorovich", "Andreyev's personal tank", "Kolyma", "Collective farmer", "Mothers - to her sons" ..
"From Lenochka for Dad"
At the beginning of 1943, a new Il-2 aircraft arrived at the 237th assault aviation regiment. It differed from other stormtroopers by the unusual inscription on board "From Lenochka for Daddy." This car already had a story that began with a letter to Stalin. “Dear Joseph Vissarionovich. My dad, Anatoly Azarenkov, the commander of an assault aviation squadron, died at the front, defending our Motherland, which I love very much. My mother died in Kiev, I live with my grandmother. She is a pensioner, a disabled person of the 2nd group. When she receives her pension, she gives me toys. I saved up money for a Christmas tree and saved 110 rubles, which I ask you to accept to build an assault plane, and transfer it to regiment 237, in which my dad served, so that my dad's comrades would take revenge on the nasty Germans for the death of my father, for my grandmother, she cries so much and for me. "
The author of the appeal was Lena Azarenkova, a student of the 1st grade of the Moscow school No. 612. The letter was published in the magazine "Ogonyok" # 4 for 1943, and the children of the whole country began to donate their "Christmas tree" and "candy" money for the construction of the plane. Together, their small contributions add up to significant sums. From schoolchildren of the Ivanovo region - a million rubles, from students of the Stavropol Territory - 100 thousand. Lena's wish came true. Having received the plane bought with children's money, the pilots of the 237th Assault Aviation Regiment wrote to the girl: “Dear Lenochka! We have received an airplane built with the money collected on your initiative. We assure you that we, your dad's fighting friends, will take revenge on the German bandits for his death. We wrote your name on the attack aircraft and handed it to your dad's best friend. "
“I’m Ada Zanegin. I'm 6. I am writing in print. Hitler expelled me from the city of Sychevka, Smolensk region. I want to go home. I collected 122 rubles 25 kopecks for a doll. And now I'm giving them to the tank. Dear Uncle Editor! Write to all the children, so that they also give their money for the tank. And let's call him "Baby". When our tank smashes Hitler, we will go home. "
And the children responded.
Adik Solodov, 6 years old: “I want to return to Kiev. I am donating the money collected for the boots - 135 rubles 56 kopecks - for the construction of the Malyutka tank. "
Tamara Loskutova: “Mom wanted to buy me a new coat and saved up 150 rubles. I wear my old coat. "
Tanya Chistyakova: “Dear unfamiliar girl Ada! I am only five years old, and I have been living without my mother for a year. I really want to go home, and therefore I am happy to give money for the construction of our tank. Hurry our tank would have smashed the enemy. "
Shura Khomenko from Ishim: “I was told about Ada Zanegina's letter and I contributed all my savings - 100 rubles and handed over bonds for 400 rubles for the construction of the Malyutka tank. My friend Vitya Tynyanov contributes 20 rubles. Let our dads smash the Nazis with tanks built on our savings. "
And the children, who had no savings, tried to earn, as they would say now, by charitable actions. For example, the children of the kindergarten of the Novo-Uralsky state farm prepared a concert and transferred 20 rubles to a special account in the Omsk branch of the State Bank.
So, the whole children's world has collected far from a child's amount, which the Omsk authorities transferred to the Defense Fund.
Quote:
I ask you to convey to the preschoolers of the city of Omsk, who raised 160886 rubles for the construction of the Malyutka tank, my warm greetings and gratitude to the Red Army.
Supreme Commander-in-Chief Marshal of the Soviet Union I. Stalin.
"Baby" looked exactly like this
One of 19 Soviet female tank crews Ekaterina Petlyuk became its driver-mechanic. She herself was short, which served as a source of constant jokes in the unit. However, she fought heroically, which was marked by the Orders of the Red Star and Patriotic War.
Tank "Baby" fought at Stalingrad, witnessed the surrender of Field Marshal Paulus. Before the Kursk Bulge, his military service ended, and, like all the rest of the armored vehicles that had served, he was sent to be melted down. Catherine kept a tank watch for herself (they are now on display in the Museum of the Defense of Stalingrad) and switched to a more advanced, albeit also small, T-70 vehicle.
Driver mechanic art. St. Ekaterina Petlyuk
On the Kursk Bulge, as it turned out later, Catherine fought somewhere alongside Ada's father. But, alas, for tanker Alexander Zanegin, the battles near Kursk were the last.
Ada Zanegin before the war
The history of the "children's" tank in 1975 was unearthed by the Omsk "red pathfinders", and on May 9, 1975 in Omsk, an employee of one of the Odessa registry offices, Ekaterina Alekseevna Petlyuk, first met Ada Zanegina - by that time Adela Aleksandrovna Voronets, an ophthalmologist from Elektrostal near Moscow.
By the way, the search engines of the Volgograd region celebrated May Day this year with a rare success: they raised the T-60 tank - after restoration it will become the sixth surviving tank in the world and the third in Russia (this is out of six thousand vehicles produced).
