Dmitry Osatyuk

Dmitry Osatyuk was the commander of a tank company on the Leningrad Front. On January 12th, 1943 his light tank was cut off from his company by three heavy German tanks that it could do nothing against. Using himself as bait, Osatyuk led the enemy tanks under artillery fire, and then defeated the enemy infantry in close combat, using machine guns, cannon and the tracks of his tank. On January 18th his company was the first to meet the troops of the Volkhov Front, thus opening a land corridor to Leningrad and breaching its blockade. On January 21st Osatyuk's tank was destroyed, but he pulled his wounded driver out of the tank, got him to safety, and kept fighting in another tank.

Operation Bolo

In 1966 North Vietnam received modern MiG-21 fighters from the USSR, and that led to increased number of American bombers getting shot down. To counter the threat, the US Air Force performed an operation on January 2nd, 1966: the F-4 fighters imitated the behavior of weaker strike aircraft F-105, leading Vietnamese MiGs into air combat, where they were quickly defeated. For the USA it was one of the most successful air battles in the Vietnam war.

Operation Nasr

The largest tank battle of the Iran-Iraq war happened in its earliest months, on January 5-9 of 1981. Iran went into counteroffensive, hoping to push the Iraqi invaders from its southeastern provinces, but Iraq learned of the enemy plans beforehand and prepared a trap. Iranian tank brigades were trapped in a three-sided box ambush with no supplies, and in four days, having suffered huge losses, were forced to retreat.

On January 18th, 1943 the blockade was finally breached, allowing the city to receive much needed supplies on a regular basis.
