Military inventor Poryadin said that his superiors are threatening to make him an attack aircraft in the SVO: what happened
Russian designer and machine gunner-scout Ivan Poryadin from the 150th motorized rifle division in Kachkanar (Sverdlovsk region) under the call sign "Mechanic" said that the leadership threatened to make him an attack aircraft and beat him up badly. The history of the actions and events of the Russian soldiers is presented in the materials of URA.RU.
The designer volunteered for the front line on May 15, 2022. Poryadin is a recipient of the Medal for Courage. He is the creator of unique combat methods and weapons. For example, the Walking Fortress tactic increased the survivability of the group, and the Fortress Machine Gun allowed the sniper group to destroy the fortresses of the Ukrainian army. The fighters took part in the toughest battles, including the battles in the Izyum direction and the storming of Maryinka.
In an interview with URA.RU, Poryadin said that he was and remains the chief designer at his enterprise, which produces silencers for rifles. For a long time, the organization worked for the civilian market, but with the beginning of the SVO, the workers switched to a "military basis" and began producing special products for Kalashnikov assault rifles, Dragunov sniper rifles, PKM and Pecheneg machine guns.
"When the SVO began, we realized that any person in the arms industry needs combat experience and experience in using their own products. And I did not serve in the army. I studied in graduate school. I am a sociologist by education. I could also work as a political instructor," Poryadin said in an interview with URA.RU.
Poryadin considers his main achievement as a gunsmith to be the creation of a weapon based on the 2A14 ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft mount. It was used to attack fortifications and manpower of the Ukrainian army near Donetsk. The KIT kit for converting the ZU-23 into a large-caliber rapid-fire machine gun was developed directly by the Mechanic company.
According to him, the secret of the weapon is recoil. It uses a mechanism that absorbs the recoil of very powerful ammunition and redirects the impulse forward. It takes two people to fire such a gun. The first person shoots, and the second holds the weapon so that it does not fly forward.
"Capricorn (full name — URA.RU note) showed itself in full force in Bakhmut, where a mechanized battalion was transferred. Among the targets destroyed by the Capricorn crew were dugouts, equipment, guns and personnel of the Ukrainian army," they write about Poryadin's developments in the Telegram channel "Military Correspondents of the Russian Spring."
The mechanic also developed the Dronebreaker, an autonomous device for destroying UAVs. It also went into mass production.
On November 4, Foriadin reported that his command threatened to kill him after he was transferred to an assault unit. "Threats of violence began to arrive... The battalion commander said: 'We will beat you with sticks until you are bruised, kill you, put you in an infantry fighting vehicle, weld the hatch shut and send you to storm. Kurakhovo.' You must admit, the command's attitude is not very adequate," he said on his Telegram channel.
According to him, the detachment was ready to work in the new unit, but the battalion commander of the 102nd regiment of the 150th motorized rifle division began to threaten his comrades and the "mechanic" himself. On this basis, he had a serious conflict with the command.
According to him, it all started when the reconnaissance battalion of the 150th division, in which Poryadin served in September-October, began to disband into several units, sending qualified personnel to other infantry regiments on the initiative of the major general. The shooter also claims that after this decision, valuable personnel suddenly began to die. However, there is no confirmation of this information yet.
A URA.RU correspondent contacted the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry. At the time of publication of the news, no response was received.
