Russian Soldier, Who Heroically Rescued Tank Commander, Receives Order of Courage
10:10 20.03.2024 (Updated: 12:00 20.03.2024) In July 2023, the crew of the tank "Alyosha" halted a Ukrainian armored group in its tracks in the Zaporozhye area, wiping out eight enemy armored vehicles during the battle.
The Russian Defense Ministry announced that Sergey Solenov, a service member of the special military operation, has been awarded the Order of Courage for his actions. Solenov played a key role in rescuing his commander and later demonstrated bravery as a crew member of the
tank "Alyosha.""While carrying out a combat mission on the front line, Sergey Solenov spotted an unmanned aerial vehicle of the Ukrainian Armed Forces hovering above the platoon commander, Lieutenant Alexander Levakov. Seeing the grenade falling in the immediate vicinity, he did not hesitate to cover the commander with his body, thus saving his life," the ministry said.
After that, Levakov continued to command his staff, with his unit fulfilling the combat
mission. Later, he accomplished the feat in question as part of the "Alyosha" tank crew.
Colonel Sergey Trigilev, military commissar of the Preobrazhensky district of Moscow, presented the award to the serviceman.
"Of course, I was pleased to receive such a high award. But I was surprised. I simply fulfilled my military duty. I think Levakov would have done the same. I believe that everything was logical, Levakov was not supposed to get hurt in that situation, otherwise he would not have demonstrated his leadership qualities," Solenov said after the ceremony.
The fighter expressed his gratitude for Levakov being present at the award ceremony. He was particularly pleased when Levakov approached him, shook his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and told him that the award was absolutely deserved.
In July 2023, the crew of the tank "Alyosha", successfully thwarted a
Ukrainian armored group in the Zaporozhye area, eliminating eight enemy armored vehicles in the process. Following this victory, the crew spent approximately 40 minutes providing cover for the motorized rifle units as they positioned themselves for combat. The enemy suffered significant casualties, with over 100 individuals killed or wounded in addition to the destroyed vehicles.
