We continue to introduce the heroes of the special operation “Z”, participants in military operations in the special military operation zone. Soldiers, sergeants, corporals and officers who demonstrated their professional experience, character and fulfilled combat missions. Their 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 good for praise. The military is confident that the enemy has no chance of success, because Donbass and Russia are fighting for a just cause. “I do not like rivalries, demonstrations, countermarches. Instead of these childish things (eye, speed, pressure), these are my leaders,” said Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov, who did not lose a single battle. And he ordered the soldiers: “Shoot rarely, but accurately. Stab firmly with a bayonet. The bullet is stupid, the bayonet is cool.”
DESPITE EVERYTHING I COMPLETED THE TASK
Senior Lieutenant of the Guard Sefer Yakhyaev
“The assault group under the command of Guard Senior Lieutenant Sefer Yakhyaev completed the task of capturing fortified enemy positions.
As they advanced, the group was attacked with cluster munitions by armed insurgents, resulting in two of its members being injured. The officer personally provided first aid and organised the evacuation, preventing the deaths of his subordinates, after which he continued the task.
Skillfully taking advantage of the terrain, Guard Senior Lieutenant Yakhyaev led the group to the specified line and attacked the enemy positions.
During a fierce battle, the group stormed an enemy stronghold without allowing any losses and destroyed up to 10 Ukrainian militants.
The competent and courageous actions of the guard, Senior Lieutenant Sefer Yakhyaev, as well as the professionalism of his subordinates, ensured a successful assault on enemy positions and created conditions for the further advancement of Russian troops in this area of the terrain.”
KILLED SEVERAL DRONES IN BATTLE
Soldier Eldar Rafulaev
“Private Eldar Rafulaev was performing cover duties for Russian attack aircraft in one of the tactical directions. A group of militants, trying to hold their positions, bypassed the Russian military unit from the flank and then attacked it.
Private Eldar Rafulaev, having correctly assessed the situation on the battlefield, took an advantageous firing position and, as part of his squad, began to push back the Ukrainian infantry from the flank of the assault groups. Acting selflessly and decisively, Eldar shot down several FPV drones with aimed fire from standard weapons and inflicted significant damage on enemy personnel. Having suffered heavy losses during the counterattack, the militants retreated deeper into their defenses.
Thanks to the courageous and decisive actions of Private Eldar Rafulaev, it was possible to repulse the enemy’s counterattack, inflicting significant damage to manpower, which allowed the assault unit to successfully complete the task of capturing the strong point.”
