Day of Artillery November 19: congratulations
The day of the artillery on November 19 is marked by officers and soldiers, cadets and contract soldiers, all servicemen, for whom it is not just a profession, but a vocation, to protect the Motherland.
It is worth saying "thanks" to the shooters first of all for the peaceful sky above our heads and free land underfoot. After all, if it were not for these courageous, strong and fearless guys with good hearts, we, perhaps, did not breathe a full breast in our beautiful and powerful country!
Artillery is a closed society
Before congratulating the perpetrators of the celebration, it is worth remembering their history. What exactly are we celebrating, marking the Day of Artillery.
It has long been believed that the shooter is not a warrior, but a special class of military society. Work on fire weapons, like its use, was the privilege of only its creators. The artillerymen were primarily masters. They hired workers, owned their own shops and did not obey the orders of the highest military leadership. Thanks to the cover of secrecy reigning in the shops, even the rulers of states did not know exactly what was happening there. In general, it was a kind of closed group, a society with its secrets, interests and ideas.
History of Russian Artillery
In the early 1700s, a missile laboratory was set up in Moscow, which worked to a greater extent on the production of light missiles in the likeness of fireworks. Since 1820 in the arsenal of the Russian army appeared the first military missiles with a range of fire more than 2500 meters.
The next step in the development of artillery was made in the early twentieth century. Military scientists began to use smokeless powder, which helped to increase the reactive traction. Now you could multiply the mass of the rocket and the range of its impact. A few years after this, the first rocket school was opened.
Subsequently, it was from such educational institutions that they released such masters of space as Sergei Korolev and Valentin Glushko.
The only girl in the artillery regiment
In June 1941, the Russian land was covered by a cloud of Hitlerite invaders. Plan "Barbarossa" and the unexpected war captivated people.
It was this period that glorified the only girl in the artillery regiment, a strong, graceful and fast Katyusha. It is a combat machine of rocket artillery.
Back in 1938, military scientists decided to develop machines that could be used to place launchers. The main function - the speed of mobilization and convenience in the attack. When the project was ready, the machines were named BM13 (a combat vehicle with a shell, the diameter of which is 13 cm). People began to call them simply - "Katyusha". During the war years, more than 10,000 such combat vehicles got to the front. According to one version, the installation received its "name" thanks to a popular song in the pre-war time. But a more beautiful explanation is that Katyusha is a partisan girl who destroyed a large number of opponents.
Introduction of the holiday - thanks for the services
The Day of Artillery is celebrated on November 19, after all, it was this number that became a turning point in the history of the Great Patriotic War. Then, in the distant 1942, Stalingrad, after a long blockade volleys, declared to the enemy that he would not tolerate the yoke imposed on his neck. At 7.30 am the artillery showed all the power of its fire, which caused irreparable damage to Hitler's troops. The opponents got a strike of such strength for the first time. The Day of Artillery was established in memory of this significant event.
Restoration of the day of artillerymen
For a while, the country has forgotten its heroes. But on the order of the head of state of May 31, 2006, in connection with the deployment of a program to establish professional holidays in honor of the military, November 19 is designated as the Day of the State Artillery Forces.
