“They make a mink for a maximum of five people, but only 2-3 people sit there,” says a Ukrainian serviceman. – “When you go down, it goes like a maze and goes under the roots of a large tree. There is another mink along the roots. There were cases when they were knocked out from the first positions, our bulldozers went in to break through the positions “They shoot, they are not found. The next group goes in to clean up, starts throwing grenades into the hole. They traverse the labyrinth under a tree and call upon themselves the fire of their mortars.”
As “grandfather” explains, the mortar cannot penetrate the roots of a large tree and the Russian soldiers wait there for the shelling while the Ukrainian soldiers suffer losses and begin to withdraw.
“The group leaves, and when they leave they come out of the mink and take out a machine gun and start shooting at point blank range from 30-50 meters,” the Ukrainian soldier concludes the story.
Recall, earlier it became known how a Russian machine gunner single-handedly destroyed 8 fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Orekhovo. When the enemy landed in a forest plantation, our fighter hid in ambush, let the group get as close as possible, and opened heavy fire.
