Born for the Airborne Forces. Warm heart of a soldier under the clouds
The paratrooper must be a courageous, efficient fighter and a decent person. Otherwise, there is a risk of preparing a future dangerous criminal. Knowledge of system-vector psychology helps in assessing the potential of fighters, as well as in placing them in various positions.
In the first part of the article, I briefly described the requirements for the paratroopers, and also analyzed a little from the point of view of Yuri Burlan's system-vector psychology, the features of the skin and anal vectors.
Let me remind you that when selecting for the Airborne Forces, moral and psychological indicators should be a priority. The paratrooper must be a courageous, efficient fighter and a decent person. Otherwise, there is a risk of preparing a future dangerous criminal.

Muscle stormtroopers
For all the importance of psychology, airborne troops require excellent physical shape. The Airborne Forces have always tried to select strong guys with sports categories. However, physical training, like serving in various positions, has many aspects that we must consider.
Physical training is, first of all, the development of strength, endurance, coordination of movements. In this case, system-vector psychology speaks of the presence of a muscle vector. In combination with other vectors, it is present in 95% of the population, and in its pure form - in 38%. In the primitive pack, people with a muscle vector were warriors and also engaged in construction. All the properties of muscular people are aimed at satisfying the basic human needs: to eat, drink, breathe, sleep.
The muscle vector is completely absent in 5% of the population, and such people cannot be drafted into the army, and even more so in the Airborne Forces. A person simply cannot withstand the stress and psychologically break down. This will end in either escape or suicide. The absence of a muscle vector does not mean the absence of muscles - there are muscles, but weak, heavy physical exertion cannot withstand.
If applied to service in the Airborne Forces, then guys with a muscle vector are best suited for service in the most numerous units - in airborne assault and airborne companies (PDR), which must ensure the implementation of the main combat missions: assault, defense. Fighters from the PDR are always at the forefront and must clearly follow orders and not be afraid of death.
The muscle vector has always been fundamental to the formation of the army. A feature of the psyche of muscular people is such an important fact that they easily give their lives and take someone else's, not worrying much about the murder. This is due to the fact that initially the muscles experience a state of maximum comfort in the womb, where they are fully provided with everything they need (eat, drink, breathe, sleep). They subconsciously perceive death as a blessing. And death in battle is also the highest honor.
Muscular people need to be managed all their lives. And therefore, they are excellent executive soldiers that you can be 100% confident in. Orientation by the muscle to meet natural needs (eat, drink, breathe, sleep) serves, in fact, to gain muscle mass - the more you eat, drink, the more you are. In social terms, a set of muscle mass is manifested in the desire to unite with other people, to become part of a large mass and the absence of the concept of "I". Muscular people are characterized by "we", "our". For this "our" they will easily give their lives.
In order for the muscle to be a good soldier, it must be constantly controlled, physically loaded, and partly supported by a sense of collectivism. Sports campuses with shells, a busy schedule of training sessions, the principle of collective responsibility in the units.
The solidity of the paratrooper muscular company is noticeable even to an outsider. For example, the muscular PDR goes to the dining room, as a rule, almost in full force, in a marching step, singing a song. It’s lovely to see the guys.
Let us compare how the skin scouts go to the dining room: half of the company is in the ranks (the rest make their way in 2-3 people or one by one), imposing gait, they do not sing songs, and they go well even in step. It may even be a mistake to think that scouts are less disciplined and less trained than their comrades in arms.
It is especially worth dwelling on the physical training of the muscle - the most optimal for him are strength exercises that contribute to a set of muscle mass and collective marches. He, like no one else, enjoys them.
It may seem strange to some, but in the most numerous units of the Airborne Forces in peacetime - in parachute companies, both as part of divisions and as part of airborne assault brigades, in Soviet times, the study of hand-to-hand combat was given secondary importance.
The main thing that was required of a paratrooper was the ability to run well, shoot, make parachute jumps, and also master his own military specialty (shooter, driver mechanic, etc.). But in preparation for specific hostilities, the emphasis on hand-to-hand combat increased.
It should also be mentioned that the population of Russia and the adjacent post-Soviet states is characterized by an urethral-muscular mentality, read about the urethral component below.
Urethral troops of Vasily Margelov
If the vector exists among people and among nations, then it is quite possible to assume that different types of troops also have their own psychotypes. In this case, the so-called urethral vector is applicable to the airborne troops. At the level of one person, this vector is characteristic of the leader.
At the level of the country's mentality, the values of this vector were formed by the people living in large territories and who managed to adapt to the harsh environmental conditions. In steppe conditions, it was impossible to feed in one place and the urethral leaders, who understood that movement is life, led the whole flock after them, capturing new territories.
The urethral mentality of the Airborne Forces determined the concept of Vasily Margelov, who commanded the troops for twenty years. He was able to prove to the country's leadership that in modern operations, only highly mobile landing forces capable of wide maneuvering can successfully operate deep behind enemy lines.
He categorically rejected the installation of holding the area captured by the landing force until the approach of the troops advancing from the front by the method of tough defense as harmful, because in this case the landing force would be quickly destroyed. It was under Margelov, who is popularly called “Uncle Vasya”, for the first time in the world, the task of the landing was not the defense of the occupied territories or objects, but an active offensive and expansion of the controlled territory.
The urethral vector is characterized by such features as thinking not limited by laws and rules, the desire to be the first always and in everything, self-sacrifice in the interests of the whole flock, instant reaction. Urethralists are not afraid of death, moreover, they are ready to give their lives for the members of their pack. This is exactly what Vasily Margelov himself was and tried to make the paratroopers such. Therefore, it is no coincidence that such urethral mottos of the Airborne Forces appeared: "Nobody but us!", "From any heights to any hell!", "There are airborne forces, and there are no impossible tasks!"
At the same time, urethral values that form the mentality of the troops do not mean that every paratrooper is a born leader - after all, according to statistics, people with this vector are born no more than 5% of the total population, and live to old age even less - about 1%. There is no contradiction here - the fact is that the Russian people (meaning Russian in spirit, and not only in blood) is generally characterized by a urethral mentality. In other words, the majority of Russians are carriers of other vectors, but urethral values are present in their thinking and behavior.
It was not by chance that the Soviet Airborne Forces became unique and the strongest in the world - Vasily Margelov put the urethral concept of troops on the urethral mentality of the people, developed a training system where the strongest survive and tried to select the best recruits and officers.
Interestingly, during the Soviet era, the competition for admission to the Ryazan School, which trained officers for the Airborne Forces, always amounted to several dozen applicants for one place and often exceeded the competition of VGIK and GITIS. Almost every year, a group of unsuccessful applicants gathered together who lived for two or three months in the Ryazan forests, until the snow and frost, hoping that some of the first-year students would not stand the stress, and they would take vacant places.
The urethral mentality manifests itself from a somewhat unexpected, as it may seem, side - disregard for conventions and rules that do not relate to the performance of a combat mission. Roughly speaking, the urethral person is a freak in a sense and can violate discipline and statutory relationships outside of his unit. For example, on dismissal to get drunk and fight with a patrol, or walk around in parts of the unknown dressed. Or not salute an officer from another unit. And in the same way, any Russian, to whom “nothing urethral is alien”, can prove himself.
There is even an anecdote saying that illustrates the behavior of especially desperate paratroopers.
Call to the headquarters of the airborne unit:
- Hello, this is from the commandant's office, we caught two of your drunken soldiers who fought with the patrol. Come, they are in the guardhouse.
- Not. These are not ours, ours do not allow such things.
An hour later, a new call to the troop unit:
- Hello, this is the commandant's office again. You don't have to come for your violators. They fled.
- Well, then, exactly ours …
Vasily Margelov himself more than once suffered from his urethral nature, when he defended his subordinates and his own principles, falling into the disgrace of the command. So in 1940 for the so-called "offenses" he was appointed commander of the 15th Separate disciplinary battalion. In 1959, he was removed from his post as commander of the Airborne Forces, and was appointed first deputy. Two years later, Margelov was returned to his previous position - the country's leadership admitted its mistake, returning the bright leader to his rightful place.
What is the portrait of a paratrooper?
Having a little familiarized with the properties of the main military vectors, let's try to break the prevailing stereotypes regarding the winged infantry. For the majority of the population, paratroopers are also associated with the holiday of August 2, when all over the country men in blue berets get drunk, swim in a fountain, and sometimes do disgraceful things. Swimming in the fountain is supposedly considered almost a tradition that almost every paratrooper should follow. And who does not bathe, he does not fit into the general image. But this is a delusion.
This is what the results of a survey on one of the most popular paratrooper websites say to the question "What does swimming in the fountains on August 2 mean to you?" the paratroopers replied:
"Stupidity" - 39.95%
"Old tradition" - 36.82%
"Shame of the Airborne Forces" - 13.45%
“Just a way to sober up” - 9.78%.
That is, a little over a third consider bathing in a fountain a tradition worth observing.
There is no contradiction between the results of the survey and what we see on August 2 near the city fountains. Knowing the preferences of the vectors, one can also answer the question: who bathes in the fountains on August 2? First of all, they are analogs, who honor, among other things, traditions that were not invented by them, but secondly, muscular ones who dive for the company.
As we can see, when viewed from the point of view of system-vector psychology, the portrait of a Russian paratrooper differs significantly from the stereotypical image. Obvious for the landing is the general urethral-muscular mentality, its own skin laws, as well as the traditions preserved by anal people. It makes no sense to create a more accurate picture - each paratrooper is individual, although he is predisposed to a certain field of activity according to the vectors he has.
Knowledge of the properties of vectors, their interaction can serve as a good service not only in the selection of candidates for paratroopers and their further distribution to positions, but also for the commanders of other power structures. Thus, the number of personnel errors will be reduced, as well as errors in the development of the educational process. That, ultimately, will increase the overall combat capability of the troops.
In total, four vectors were mentioned in the article: cutaneous, urethral, muscular, anal. In addition to them, there are as many more: visual, oral, olfactory and sound. And each finds its own application - for example, the best scouts are obtained from the owners of the olfactory and dermal vector. Officers specializing in educational work (political officers, psychologists, military priests) should have a sound, visual, and sometimes oral vector. You can get more detailed information about the properties of vectors and their interaction at the training on system-vector psychology by Yuri Burlan.
