Desantchi askar haykali, Military monument in central Tyumen, Russia.

The Desantchi askar haykali is a bronze statue of a paratrooper in a beret, tunic, trousers and boots, holding a PK machine gun diagonally across his chest. The figure rises from a mound of rough gray stones set on a granite obelisk with a black marble plaque bearing a line from a song about the Airborne Troops. It stands in Tyumen's Eastern district beside the headquarters of the Union of Paratroopers of Tyumen Oblast.

The monument was installed next to the headquarters of the Tyumen Region Paratroopers' Union and inaugurated on 2 October 2010. Veterans of the Great Patriotic War, the wars in Afghanistan and Chechnya, local officials and residents attended the ceremony. Its author, paratrooper veteran and Order of Courage holder Sergei Kalinovsky, created it entirely at his own expense in his workshop on the initiative of local airborne veterans.

The monument serves as a gathering place where veterans and residents come together during memorial ceremonies and military commemorations. It remains an active part of community remembrance for those who served.

The monument is easily reached by public transportation from downtown and sits in a central location with good access routes. It remains open and freely accessible during daylight hours in a spacious plaza.

Sculptor Sergei Kalinovsky, a paratrooper veteran and holder of the Order of Courage, paid for the monument himself and made it in his own workshop. On 19 February 2011 the veterans' union chairman Sergei Shermatov awarded him the Order of Army General V. F. Margelov for it.
