Muscovites bring flowers to the monument "They fought for the Motherland" near the building of the Ministry of Defense to honor the memory of Major Roman Filipov, who died in Syria. Netizens post dedicated to the hero poems and express condolences to relatives.

The camera is shaking, someone shouts "Allahu Akbar" off-screen. The militants are drawn to a huge boulder, behind which Major Roman Filipov has taken cover. Almost reaching the stone, the operator stops, among the noise of shots and calls to Allah, one can clearly hear: “This is for you boys!” Three seconds later, bang. A grenade exploded in the hero's hands. He took with him those whom he could not shoot with Stechkin's personal pistol. Clouds of gray smoke hung over the boulder, the militants fled in different directions.

On Saturday, February 3, in Syria, not far from locality Tell-Debes, Major Roman Filipov died. The Su-25 attack aircraft, on which it carried out an observation flight in the Idlib de-escalation zone, was shot down by a missile from a portable anti-aircraft missile system.

Among them were combat "cribs", a report on the submission to the state award, discount cards for the Vladivostok chain of Wine Studio stores and the Far Eastern chain of auto stores "Giperavto". On one of the papers is a list of commemorative coins "Ancient cities of Russia". Apparently, Roman did not have enough coins for the collection with the image of Staraya Russa, Derbent and Pskov. Each is neatly assigned a market price.

According to the acting head of the region Andrey Tarasenko, Filipov was military service 200 kilometers from Vladivostok, in the village of Chernigovka, as deputy squadron commander of the 18th assault aviation regiment of the 303rd Guards mixed aviation division of the 11th Air Force and Air Defense Army of the Eastern Military District. He moved there five years ago with his wife Olga. A daughter was also born there.

According to classmates and colleagues, Roman dreamed of becoming a pilot since childhood. So he did well in school. Knowing that in order to enter the Armavir Center of the Krasnodar Higher Military Aviation School he needed exact sciences, Roman transferred to a class with in-depth study mathematics and physics.

“He graduated from school without triples, always strove to learn, was very persistent in mastering knowledge, but at the same time he was modest, shy and laconic,” recalls classroom teacher Filipova Ludmila Lazareva.

According to her, the father of the guy, military pilot Nikolai Filipov, was a role model. “When we were in the 11th grade cool watch on the topic of career guidance, he already knew exactly who he would be: he dreamed of flying in the sky, ”says Lazareva.

Senior Filipov studied in Armavir, so Roman chose this particular school. Major Aleksey Moskotov, who headed class department 205, where Roman studied, recalls his first enrollment in 2002.

“All the guys were good from that set,” he told Storm. According to him, in order to get into attack aviation ten years ago, it was necessary to pass the selection. “It had to be earned, and Roman had only positive characteristics,” explains the major.

After the third year, having finished with the theory, Filipov transferred to the Borisoglebsk flight school in the Voronezh region, closer to home. There, for the first time, he “stand on the wing” and took to the sky.

Colleagues call Roman "one of the best", pointing out that this is not his first trip to Syria. The fact that Filipov is an outstanding pilot is also evidenced by the results of the Aviadarts military competition. In 2013, being a captain, he won second place in the "Attack Aviation" nomination as a flight commander.

Filipov's native school in Voronezh has already been proposed to be named after the deceased hero. “Of course, we would definitely like to perpetuate the memory of [deceased pilot Roman Filippov]. How it will be - a memorial plaque, a museum, a class will be named or a school - it will all depend on the decision of the administration, ”Galina Klepikova, director of school No. 85, told Storm. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu presented Filipov to the title of Hero of Russia posthumously. All necessary assistance will be provided to the wife and daughter of the deceased, the military department said.

By social networks there is a poem published by Znak.com, "The downed 25th burns on the slope." In total, users have published more than a thousand entries with the hashtag #EtoVamZaPatsanov in various groups and on personal pages.

It was a matter of honor for the Ministry of Defense to find and bury the hero with full military honors. Immediately after the death of Major Roman Filipov, the defense department turned to their Turkish colleagues.

The body of the pilot was also returned thanks to the efforts of Russian military intelligence.

Voronezh - native city Roman Filipov, there was a farewell to Roman Filippov. There he grew up, studied at a local school, which they now want to name after him.

The pilot of the second attack aircraft, in an interview with the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper, said that he saw how a missile fired from the ground by militants hit the commander's plane.

Yes I see! the host replied.

And then so calmly, as if it was said about something ordinary and secondary:

I got hit...

And next:

Well hit…

Fire right...

Pulling south...

And the left becomes...

And twenty seconds later - extreme:

Call the search and rescue team…”

Roman Filipov ordered his partner to leave, but he supported the commander - he destroyed two cars with terrorists with air fire, attacked until the ammunition ran out. Fuel also turned out to be running out - the emergency supply was enough to reach the airfield.

Once surrounded, Roman Filipov accepted an unequal battle. And when it became clear that captivity could not be avoided, already seriously wounded, he blew himself up with a grenade.

The officer was buried in his native Voronezh, his memory was honored in Vladivostok. Roman Filipov served for several years in Primorye. Citizens, commanders and cadets of military schools gathered at the memorial dedicated to those who died in local wars and conflicts. Red carnations were placed next to the photo of the pilot-hero.

Russian military Andrey Sergeenkov, who is said to have died in the Il-20 crew, is actually alive. This information Andrey - Tatyana Sergeenkova.

In turn, Israel, in response to Russia's accusations that the IDF pilots (Israel Defense Forces) are to blame for the death of the Russian Il-20 in the skies of Syria, that all the blame for the downed plane lies with the Syrian government, whose air defense was shot down by the reconnaissance aircraft.

On Tuesday evening, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a telephone conversation. The Israeli prime minister expressed regret, offered to send the head of the Israeli Air Force to Moscow and promised to provide detailed information about the actions of the Israeli Air Force over the Mediterranean that day.

In turn, the President of Russia will not allow such situations in the future. But even before the conversation with Netanyahu, Putin emphasized that Russia should not expect any special tough responses. He reassured, saying that the situation with Israel due to the downed Il-20 is not as critical as with Turkey due to the downed Su-24 and urged not to compare these two crashes.

“Then a Turkish fighter deliberately shot down our plane. Here, rather, it looks like a chain of tragic accidental circumstances, because the Israeli plane did not shoot down ours, ”Putin said.

After the conversation between Putin and Netanyahu, the main military investigation department of the Russian Investigative Committee opened a criminal case into the crash Russian aircraft IL-20 over the Mediterranean Sea. Investigators and forensic specialists from the Russian Investigative Committee are working at the scene of the incident, together with representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, who are establishing the circumstances and causes of the incident.

The editors of the site express their condolences to the families and relatives of the deceased crew of the IL-20.

The deceased hero of the Russian Guard Roman Filippov was buried along with other heroes in Voronezh. The pilot will rest next to the soldiers who defended the country during World War II.

About thirty thousand people came to see the pilot off on his last journey. The military and law enforcement officers arrived.
All those who came moved in two streams. The civilians went separately, and the military separately. For several hours, people stood in the cold wind to honor the memory of the military man.

It is worth recalling that Major Filippov died on February 3 this year while patrolling the sky over the province of Idlib. School teachers recall that Roman was modest and purposeful.

Roman's class teacher said that when Roman was in school, his father was a retired pilot. When the class was talking about the choice of future professions, Roman said that he wanted to fly in the sky. He was very responsible and hardworking, never rude or shouted. Roman went in for sports, it was clear that he was brought up in an intelligent family.

In the eighty-fifth school in Voronezh, Roman studied from the first to the eleventh grade. Only three grades in his certificate were “good”, he knew the rest of the subjects perfectly well.

After he graduated from school seventeen years ago, he decided to enter the Krasnodar Flight School, informs the site. During the holidays, when he went to his parents, he always went to his native school. After some time, he was given a diploma as a pilot of the SU-25, Roman immediately went to serve in an aviation regiment in Primorye.

Roman's colleagues said that he was the best pilot and a good man. Major Filippov has been in the finals of the Aviadarts pilot competition more than once. Five years ago, he was able to take second place. It is known that Roman stayed in the air for one thousand three hundred hours, and made eighty sorties.

Alexander Gusev, who is the acting governor of the Voronezh region, presented the directors of the 85th school commemorative sign. Now the educational institution will bear the name of the deceased pilot. The Roman family will receive one million rubles as material assistance from the regional government.

After everyone said goodbye to the pilot, his coffin was lowered under a gun salute. Filippov was buried on the Walk of Fame. The honor guard company saluted the last honor to an army officer Russian Federation.

Before the military plane, along with Roman's body, was sent to Voronezh, officers and officials of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation said goodbye to him. For this, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, all his deputies and some ministry employees arrived at the air base, which is located in the Moscow region.

In mournful silence, all the arrivals lined up at the coffin. After that, Nikolai Pankov, who is the state secretary of the Ministry of Defense, said a few farewell phrases. Officials noted that the major honorably fulfilled his military duty, remained faithful to the oath and sacrificed himself so that others could live.

It is worth recalling that Roman's plane was shot down from an anti-aircraft missile launcher. After Roman was hit, he managed to report the incident and eject. However, he landed in an area controlled by militants. It is likely that they intended to take him prisoner, but he accepted the battle.

The man spent more than half of his combat reserve with a Stechkin pistol. It is likely that the forces were not equal, so the pilot was killed. There are suggestions that he was bombarded with grenades. So say the experts who saw the pictures with the body of a military man.

At the place from which the plane was shot down, the Russian army struck with precision weapons. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation published a video of the strike and noted that more than thirty militants were killed.

Note that it was impossible to send rescuers to the landing site of Roman, as there was a high concentration of terrorists. Sunday after the strike Russian army, the territory was cleared by special forces.

The journalists found out how much the state will pay the relatives of the Hero of Russia Roman Filipov for the tragedy in their family.

In Voronezh, the day before, they said goodbye to Major Roman Filipov, who died in Syria. He was presented to the title of Hero of Russia posthumously. A serviceman who fought against ISIS militants, banned in the Russian Federation, left a little daughter and wife, as well as elderly parents. How the state will help them, the portal Online812 found out.

According to the legislation in force in Russia, the family of the deceased Hero of Russia can count on an insurance payment in connection with the tragic event that occurred, as well as on monthly payments.

If Major Filipov had stayed intkbbee alive, then he would receive, along with the title of Hero of Russia, a number of material and non-material privileges. The pension and other payments of the Heroes of the Russian Federation are indexed annually. The approximate amount of monthly payments to the Heroes of Russia for 2017 was 75 thousand rubles.

If the Hero of Russia died, then each of his relatives - that is, his wife, children and parents are entitled to pension payments - this is a lump sum payment in the amount of 20 thousand rubles, and a pension supplement - 8 thousand rubles a month. The pension of the Hero of Russia will also be paid to each family member. Children - until they reach the age of 18 or 23, being full-time university students.

As for insurance payments, everything here depends on the “salary” that officer Filipov received. In the event of death, a one-time insurance payment in the amount of 25 salaries is paid to each member of his family. If we imagine that the average salary (judging by the Fontanka publication, along with all the awards, the pilot received 100 thousand rubles in his hands) he had about 50 thousand rubles, then his relatives will receive 1,250,000 rubles in their hands. In addition, Filipov's wife will receive the last salary for the month in which he died - for February. Filipov's funeral is also legally paid for by the state.

Thus, to summarize, the wife of Filipov, as a result of the death of her husband, can count on a lump sum of 1,320,000 rubles. And every month she will receive a pension from the state - about 80 thousand rubles. The same pension will be received by the child, as well as the parents of the deceased.
