Russian specialist was injured in Iraq when American troops opened fire on building site where he worked.

As far as your claim that an American shot a Russian goes, it is not supported. He is being treated in an American hospital.


BAGHDAD, April 15 (Itar-Tass) - A Russian specialist received bullet wounds in Iraq, Russian Embassy representative Alexander Strakhov told Itar-Tass here on Thursday.

The specialist from the Interenergoservis company was wounded 90 kilometers from the Iraqi capital on Wednesday.

"He has undergone surgery in a U.S. hospital; his life is not in danger. The circumstances of the incident are unknown," Strakhov said.

AND


An employee of the Russian company Interenergoservis, Sergei Brazhnikov, was wounded in Iraq, Interfax news agency reported Thursday.

A spokesman for the Russian embassy in Iraq Bashir Malsagov has told the agency that Brazhnikov had been working at a construction site in Baghdad when a stray bullet hit his leg. The wounded man was then taken to an American hospital in Baghdad and operated on. His condition is described as “normal", Malsagov said.

There is no evidence that he was wounded as a result of gunfire from U.S. troops, a diplomatic source has told the agency.

The Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed on Thursday afternoon that one of the Russian workers in Iraq had been wounded. At present moment S. Brazhnikov is in the US military hospital in Baghdad and his condition is reported as satisfactory, the Intefax news agency reported, quoting an official statement from the Foreign Ministry. The document gave the date of the incident as April 14.

On Sunday, eight employees of the company were taken hostage in Baghdad by a group of armed people. They were released on Monday. 315 of the 365 workers of the company decided to stay in Iraq despite the ongoing evacuation.


Planes arrive to evacuate Russian and CIS nationals from Iraq

In the middle of today, three planes of the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry sent to Iraq to evacuate staff members of Russian firms have landed in the international airport of Baghdad. The jumbo jets Il-62M and Il-76 landed at 40-minute intervals.

About 360 persons are awaiting evacuation in the airport, the RIA Novosti correspondent reports.

Initially, it was supposed to take out of Iraq 553 Russians and 263 people of the Commonwealth of Independent States working on contract with Russian firms. Four more flights were scheduled for Friday to take them all to Moscow, the spokesman for the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry said. Evacuation is voluntary and many have decided to stay despite the complex set-up in Iraq. Therefore, the evacuation is expected to be over today.

The Americans have banned for Russian journalists arriving to Baghdad by the same planes to take pictures on the airfield.

Among the people to be evacuated are 39 Belarussian nationals, RIA Novosti learnt from the Belarussian embassy in Moscow. They did work in Iraq on contract with the Russian company Tekhnopromexport and were building industrial facilities.

You really need to worry about your own troops because they certainly dont cut it when it comes to being a well trained fighting force.

Care to give me your name, and/or when/where did you "train" our soldiers? Or maybe you could give me the name of the unit that you supposedly trained?

For your info, I gave almost 18 years of my life to our Armed forces. You can talk about it with me, and I'll listen to you very carefully! :lol:

Kingpin, you have to understand that there is war going on.

When soldiers are faced with possibility of being shot from every corner or being blown up, they all become trigger happy no matter of soldiers' nationality. That's the way it goes in any war.

You see, you said "building site", so that means a site which can be a potential enemy position. For example, those guys were walking near that place when suddenly, they heard/saw movement. Do you think those guys would wait for a possible RPG or machinegun barrage? No. A split second of pause can cost a life.
It's not like he was walking towards the Americans on the open street and they opened fire. Therefore, I think your topic's title is inappropriate.

IMO, those civilian specialists shouldn't even be there in the first place!

Yes, they will come back to me and say I should leave, which is fine. If the majority of this website wants me gone, I’ll bugger off.

But the flame wars are getting extremely stupid, with little attacks on American troops here and there, most of you should know that Americans dominate these forums, so posting negative things about them or their highly trained and professional soldiers, Airmen and Marines will not go unnoticed.

Clean up your act people.

В четверг стало известно о том, что в Ираке был ранен российский специалист. Сергей Бражников, сотрудник компании "Интерэнергосервис", в среду получил огнестрельное ранение в ногу. Ранее несколько сотрудников той же компании были взяты в заложники. Тогда инцидент удалось быстро разрешить и никто не пострадал.

- Как нас уверяют американцы, Сергей Бражников был ранен по случайному стечению обстоятельств. Был самопроизвольный выстрел. У одного из американских солдат, которые охраняют станцию в Эль-Мусейибе. Это южнее Багдада, по дороге на Хилу. Там находится теплоэлектростанция, ее в настоящий момент ремонтируют сотрудники компании "Интерэнергосервис". Вот один из них, находясь на стройплощадке, получил ранение в ногу в результате случайного выстрела, - рассказал "Известиям" Сергей Мельников, временный поверенный в делах России в Ираке.

Инцидент произошел вечером в среду. Ранив Сергея Бражникова, американцы тут же доставили его в свой госпиталь в Багдаде, в "зеленой зоне", где располагаются штаб-квартира коалиционной администрации и основная американская база. В госпитале Бражникову сделали операцию на мягких тканях ноги, чтобы удалить пулю. Врачи, оперировавшие специалиста "Интерэнергосервиса", сообщили в четверг представителям российского посольства, что операция прошла успешно, состояние больного расценивается как удовлетворительное. В посольстве сообщили о том, что Бражников может быть эвакуирован на родину в пятницу рейсом МЧС - в том случае, если позволит состояние его здоровья.

В пресс-центре штаб-квартиры коалиционных сил в Багдаде "Известиям" заявили, что пока информацией о том, что американский солдат ранил российского гражданина, не располагают.

- Мы совершенно ничего об этом не знаем. Вы говорите, американский солдат убил российского гражданина? Ранил?.. Нет, такой информации у нас нет.

По данным российского посольства в Багдаде, на территории Ирака до четверга находилось около 816 граждан стран СНГ. Из них 553 - граждане России. МЧС России уже договорилось с коллегами по Содружеству, что возьмет на себя эвакуацию всех бывших сограждан. Помимо россиян в Ираке работают украинцы, армяне и узбеки. В основном это технические специалисты, работающие по контракту в российских компаниях. Наиболее многочисленный персонал в Ираке имеют компании "Интерэнергосервис" и "Технопромэкспорт": 370 сотрудников первой задействованы на строительстве ТЭЦ "Юсифия" под Багдадом, 365 рабочих и инженеров "Интерэнергосервиса" восстанавливают ТЭЦ "Дора", "Южный Багдад" и "Эль-Мусейиб" и ТЭС "Нассирия".



Американские солдаты ранили гражданина России
vip.lenta.ru
Сводка событий в Ираке: 14 апреля
Сотрудник российской компании "Интерэнергосервис" Сергей Бражников был ранен в Ираке при обстреле в 90 километрах от Багдада. Как сообщает агентство "Интерфакс" со ссылкой на старшего советника посольства России в Багдаде Башира Мальсагова, огонь велся со стороны позиций американских солдат.
"Российский гражданин Сергей Бражников был ранен случайно в то время, когда он находился на объекте, на строительстве электростанции, случайной пулей, залетевшей через реку при обстреле американцами этого региона", - сказал дипломат.

По словам Мальсагова, российский специалист получил пулевое ранение мягких тканей ноги. Американцы немедленно доставили пострадавшего в военный госпиталь в Багдаде, где ему была сделана операция по удалению пули.

Самочувствие Бражникова в настоящее время нормальное, отметил советник посольства. Рассматривается вопрос об его эвакуации на родину самолетом МЧС.

In my opinon, most of the American units are trained to be a killer, not a soldier. Just look at the killing rates nowadays and compare them to those in WWII.

I really don't want to condemn this, but I think, the current situation in Iraq is rather in need of police-like stabilizing units then heavy military.

This goes a similiar way - You heat up things with writing somewhat offensive topic name, then w argue for 3 pages why it is offensive and why some of us feel offended - and then you learn nothing and do exactly the same thing again. You dissed the UN once, knowing it may hurt those who served under blue banner. Now, I understand you may be pissed because one of your compatriots was hurt, but it was a pure accident - lest you know any more details it was the other way. Personally, if some Polish aid worker or engineer would be injuried in similiar way, I'd just report the news, and gather some details on circumstances. This wasn't attack on Russia's pride or something... There's no need to react in such way Kingpin. I just wish it wasn't anything serious and the guy will be ok.

The Russian media is also unreliable. I was watching the news on RTR a few days ago, and they were doing a story on how Chechens had gone to Iraq to fight the Americans. It may be that there are some there; a lot of foreign terrorists have flocked to Iraq. But this reporter interviewed an American lieutenant colonel. The American officer clearly said, in English, that they had no intelligence reports on Chechen fighters in Iraq. The reporter, narrating the story, claimed he said they had reports of numerous Chechens but had failed to capture any.
Just one example of how 'reliable' your media is... No offense, but Russian media is still one of the most biased in the world.

A usual infantry soldier during the WW2 had a kill rate of about 25%.

Now look at the structural developments in the US Military and think about, what would happen with such a rate nowadays?Thats a really poor comparison, and a discredit to the WW2 serviceman. The men (and women) are cut from the same cloth, all that has changed are the circumstances.

Never heard this story here. We never claimed about Chechens in Iraq. We claimed about Chechens in Afganistan and this was confirmed even by some american on this board. So i don't know how to react at this quote.

What I posted was a very angry response to YOUR post and I went off on Russian troops.I apologized here and in PM(and I was sincere with my apology). I even asked for a re-translation of the name of the power plant. Thats all! You need to re-check yourself bitch because I will not let you start a flame war here about me.Your agenda is obvious. If you dont have your stories correct or corraberated then stay off the net and if you have a problem with the language then dont post **** if you re not sure.Watch your step you are walking a fine line bud!

Maybe my new friend 16 OBr SPn is in your AO and can have a little chat with you or maybe the Admins could just ban your ass for stupidity it wouldnt really be all that difficult.

If it was an accident, why is the title of your post "Trigger Happy"? And if you knew it was an accident, why are you dissing the troops? Makes me wonder about your credibility dude ;)

First of all when i posted my first message there wasn't details available. But anyway i'm not native speaker so as i understabd being trigger happy also leads to such incidents.


Hmmmm you posted at 12:25pm, and Black Rain read your message and posted his reply (with details... although not your details) at 12:32pm. That's amazing. :roll: You didn't post a link, because the details available didn't support your erroneous allegations. It's as simple as that.
And you asked one of us to pull CP for you??

You fire just fine!


I just like having big strong men around me..... p-) anything wrong with that???? ;)

I move that the moderators just drop the hammer on several of the 'notorious' flame baiters NOW.

When are we going to draw the line?
It ain't getting better.

Done.
