Alexander Prokhorenko, the "Russian Rambo". An example of valor, and dedication every fighting man will respect. A true account, of a true hero. For his sacrifice, he was awarded his nations highest honor. Hero of Russia...
Pictured above with his wife. She was pregnant with his child when he sacrificed himself for his nation.
.
Sr. Lt. Prokhorenko was performing the task behind the enemy lines in Palmyra, Syria of designating the vital targets for airstrikes. After a week of staying hidden, he was spotted by the ISIS terrorists who tried to capture him. For the entire day he was evading them. He called for an extraction that was sent from the Russian base, but it would take 15 minutes for them to reach him. Not having more ammunition to resist and knowing he would endanger the extraction party, he called his CO and demanded to cancel the extraction and deliver an airstrike on his coordinates.
When he knew his number was up... He ordered an airstrike on himself; and took 50 enemies with him.

Officer: They are outside, conduct the airstrike now please hurry, this is the end, tell my family I love them and i died fighting for my motherland.
Command: Negative return to green line
Officer: I cant command, I am surrounded, they are outside, I don’t want them to take me and parade me, conduct the airstrike, they will make a mockery of me and this uniform. I want to die with dignity and take all these bastards with me. please my last wish, conduct the airstrike, they will kill me either way.
Command: please confirm your request
Officer: They out outside, this is the end commander, thank you, tell my family and my country I love them. Tell them I was brave and I fought until I could no longer. Please take care of my family, avenge my death, good bye commander, tell my family I love them
Command: No response, orders the airstrike...
Even in death; this warriors body was more valuable than the ISIS leaders Russia traded him for.
Russia exchanged 6 militants for body of Hero officer Prokhorenko
.
This soldiers example should serve a sobering account of the valor, heroism of the Russian soldier; for any who would doubt the strength, and resolve of "The Bear".
