The Ministry of Defense reported that the Russian military entered Zhelannoe in small groups under the cover of UAV crews in constant interaction with artillery, aviation and other units. The attack aircraft received powerful fire support from FPV attack drones, which removed the Ukrainian Armed Forces from their fortifications.
The commander of the assault platoon with the call sign “Ax” said that the enemy is very afraid of close contact and, if possible, begins to retreat. “He is afraid of shooting, tries to work at a distance with kamikaze drones, but cannot stand personal contact,” RIA Novosti quotes the fighter as saying.
It should be noted that during the fighting the Russian Armed Forces destroyed a large amount of military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including the German Leopard tank, armored infantry vehicles and armored personnel carriers of Western production, as well as many drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine of various types.
The honor of hoisting the Russian tricolor on the TV tower fell to a signalman with the call sign “Fixik.” According to him, the emotions were crazy.
“I didn’t pay much attention to the drones, as the guys helped me, covered me from below, stood with weapons, with machine guns ready, I went up, got adrenaline, completed the task, went down,” the fighter noted.
