(CHVTKU) - higher military educational institution of the USSR Armed Forces and the Russian Armed Forces.

Story [ | ]

Period of the Great Patriotic War[ | ]

With the outbreak of hostilities in the Great Patriotic War, the leadership of the USSR raised the question of creating new military schools in the rear and relocating military schools located in the western part of the state to the east of the country.

By Directive of the General Staff of July 30, 1941 No. org/1/524382, the formation of the Chelyabinsk Tank School began. Recruitment was carried out at the expense of military personnel arriving from military units, educational institutions the Red Army and in the direction of regional military commissariats. The military camp of the artillery regiment was chosen as the location of the school.

On August 8, 1941, the school was finally formed and became part of the Ural Military District, which was created on August 12, 1941.

The main task assigned to the Chelyabinsk Tank School was the training of tank commanders (crews), military technicians, senior mechanics-drivers for heavy combat vehicles such as KV-1, and later KV-1s, and KV-85, IS-1, IS-2, IS-3 and heavy self-propelled artillery units SU-152, ISU-152, ISU-122.

The training period was determined for command personnel - 8 months, for technical staff- 9 months. Tank (crew) commanders were awarded the military rank of lieutenant and junior lieutenant. Senior mechanic rank technical lieutenant.

In September 1941, the training process began, in which 64 cadet platoons were involved.

The very choice of the military leadership of the city of Chelyabinsk to host a tank school, according to historians, was explained by the location of the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant, which since 1940 has mastered the production of KV-1 tanks.

To more effectively study the material part of armored vehicles, with the assistance of the Chelyabinsk Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, the command of the school in the first half of September embarked on an experiment to introduce industrial practice: cadets were assigned to teams of workers at the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant engaged in the production of tanks and self-propelled guns, and took direct part in production at all stages in various workshops. As a result of such industrial practice, the cadets acquired knowledge of both the design of units and combat vehicles in general.

The school's personnel as of December 1, 1941 amounted to 2,500 people. The first graduation of specialists (552 people) took place at the end of May 1942.

Since 1943, the procedure for recruiting applicants to the school has changed. Priority was given to Red Army soldiers and junior commanders with combat experience, who were sent from the front for training.

Just before Battle of Kursk, 16 heavy self-propelled artillery regiments were formed in Chelyabinsk, in which the junior officers were mainly staffed by school graduates.

August 26, 1943 Chelyabinsk Tank School (CHTU) was renamed to Chelyabinsk Tank Technical School (CHTTU). This was due to the complete reorientation of the school to train military technicians and senior driver mechanics for heavy tanks and heavy self-propelled artillery.

From July 1942, the school introduced additional courses for the training of tank company commissars. After the reform of the Institute of Commissars in June 1943, courses were held to retrain political personnel for command positions.

In total, from 1942 to 1945, the school graduated 37 military specialists in various specialties. A total of 6,863 officers were trained for the armored forces

Post-war period[ | ]

Since the fall of 1945, the Chelyabinsk Tank Technical School switched from a shortened course of study to a 3-year training period.

Due to the general reduction in the strength of the USSR Armed Forces in the post-war period, on June 10, 1948, the Chelyabinsk Tank Technical School was disbanded.

In the mid-60s, both new military schools were created and a number of previously disbanded schools were restored. Minister of Defense of the USSR Marshal Soviet Union Malinovsky R. Ya. approved the initiative to restore the Chelyabinsk Tank School.

On November 30, 1966, in pursuance of the order of the USSR Minister of Defense and the directive of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, the commander of the Ural Military District issued an order to form the Chelyabinsk Higher Tank Command School. The first order for the school was signed on December 16, 1966.

In January-February 1967, the teaching staff of the school was appointed. In April 1967, a special construction detachment began building facilities for the school, developing a shooting range and a tankodrome for driving tanks.

As was customary in the practice of Soviet military schools of the post-war period, cadets in the newly created schools were recruited from among second-year cadets from other single-disciplinary educational institutions. In September 1967, cadets sent from the Ulyanovsk and Kazan Tank Schools continued their second-year studies at the Chelyabinsk Tank School. At the same time, a recruitment of cadets for the first year of training among youth was carried out Ural region in Chebarkul.

On November 7, 1967, cadets of the Chelyabinsk Tank School took part in a military parade in the regional center in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution.

On April 20, 1968, the Chelyabinsk Tank School was awarded a Battle Banner with an honorary name in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution: Chelyabinsk Higher Tank Command School named after the 50th anniversary of the Great October Revolution.

In May 1970, the school graduated its first lieutenants for tank forces.

Like all higher military schools of the USSR, training at the Chelyabinsk Tank School lasted 4 years. Upon completion, the graduate was awarded the military rank of lieutenant and awarded a diploma of higher technical education. The graduate was assigned the military specialty of “tank platoon commander.” Diploma specialty "engineer for operation and repair of tracked vehicles."

School after the collapse of the USSR[ | ]

After the collapse of the USSR, the school continued training personnel for the tank forces of the Russian Armed Forces.

Since 1995, the school, in accordance with interstate agreements, began training specialists for other states. The school trained specialists for armed forces: Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Angola, Guinea, Mali, Laos, Jordan, Mozambique, Ethiopia and Uganda.

November 1, 1998, during the reform of military educational institutions, Chelyabinsk Higher Tank Command School was renamed to Chelyabinsk Tank Institute.

Due to the changed status of the educational institution, the period of study was increased to 5 years. Graduates were awarded the qualification “engineer”. The training of cadets was carried out in the following specialties:

• military - “Combat and daily activities of tank units”;
• civil - 150300 “Multipurpose tracked and wheeled vehicles (MGKM).”
  • specialization: 150306 - “Operation and repair of multi-purpose tracked and wheeled vehicles (MGKM).”

In 2000, the following stages in the training of cadets were established:

• 1st course - training of a soldier (crew member), tank commander;
• 2nd year - platoon commander training;
• 3rd year - training for company commander;
• 4th year - studying the actions of the battalion, improving the training of a platoon-company commander;
• 5th year - improving the training of a platoon-company-battalion commander.

In 2002, with another reform of higher military educational institutions, the period of study was reduced to 4 years with a change in specialization:

• military - “Use of tank units”;
• civil - 062100 “Personnel Management (Ground Forces).”

The graduate was awarded the qualification “manager”.

Liquidation of the school[ | ]

Due to prolonged bullying from fellow conscript soldiers, Andrei Sergeevich Sychev received disability.
