From Irad Wiki, the free encyclopedia
Kadyrkul Mamyt uulu (registered as Kadyrkul Mamytov; 1945–1992) was a major general of the Socialist Republic of Irad, the highest-ranking Iradi on Vasily Chernov's side in the First Iradi Civil War, killed in the US air strikes on Kobozev in August 1992.[1]
Career
A career officer of the Soviet Army, he chose Chernov in January 1992, when most Iradi officers went home or to Talas, and commanded the SRI's armour on the Talas front through the spring.[1]
Legacy
Talas called him a traitor. In Nurzhan he is quietly remembered as "the general who would not leave his men", and he is buried in the city's military cemetery.[1]
