ONE OF THE BIGGEST ASSAULTS OF THE WAR: 57 UNITS OF ARMORED VEHICLES, 12 MOTORCYCLES AND 200 ASSAULT TROOPS WERE LAUNCHED BY THE OCCUPIERS TO BREAKTHROUGH THE POSITIONS OF THE TAVRIAN PARATROOPERS
Soldiers of the 79th separate amphibious assault brigade of the Taurian Brigade repelled one of the largest Russian assaults during the entire full-scale war in the Kurakhiv direction.
The occupying army simultaneously used 11 tanks, 45 armored combat vehicles with landing forces and 1 Terminator tank support combat vehicle. The Russians also attacked on motorcycles - 12 "racers" left.
Enemy columns moved forward to attack at dawn. The assault began at once from several directions.
The aerial reconnaissance of the 79th found Russian equipment still far away on the approaches. Our artillery immediately started working according to the order of battle of the occupiers.
The first tanks and armored fighting vehicles began to stop our strike drone operators. Then the anti-tankers entered the battle. A lot of equipment was blown up by mines insidiously placed by sappers of the 79th.
As a result of the battle, our paratroopers knocked out 6 tanks and 7 BBM with infantry. All 12 motorbikes were burnt. The Russians suffered tremendous losses in manpower: 40 Russians were killed, another 37 were wounded.
After knocking out the first tanks and armored vehicles, other vehicles rushed to flee the battlefield. Our pilots finished off the infantry that ran around the landings.
Today, the Russians were once again convinced of the real landing force of the 79th!
Kudos to you, paratroopers!
Glory to Ukraine!

No need for territorial concessions. They are running out of men, tanks, APCs. And premium gasoline. In another six months they will beg for peace.
