We continue to present the heroes of special operation “Z”, participants in military operations in the zone of special military operation.

His determination, assertiveness and combat experience are highly appreciated by the Russian Ministry of Defense. Our heroes thwarted attacks and prevented nationalist counteroffensives, for which they received state awards. But they are not useful for praising. The military is confident that the enemy has no chance of success, because Donbass and Russia are fighting for a just cause.
“Never divide forces to protect different points. If the enemy crosses them, much better: he will approach to defeat him,” said Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov, who did not lose a single battle. And he also called: “Full powers to the commander in chief.”

Junior Sergeant Roman Ashtakhov
“Junior Sergeant Roman Ashtakhov carried out combat missions to carry out defense in one of the tactical directions. While in a company stronghold, Roman received a report from an observation post about the detection of an enemy group via a thermal imaging device. The enemy, up to ten people, using folds of the terrain, tried to secretly approach the defense lines of the Russian troops.
Despite having far superior forces, the enemy faced decisive resistance organized by Ashtakhov. Roman competently organized and inflicted fire damage on the enemy with service firearms in cooperation with observation posts. The enemy group was completely destroyed. Thanks to his personal courage and competent actions in managing his subordinates, Junior Sergeant Roman Ashtakhov prevented an enemy group from attacking Russian positions.”
