🫡 Teamwork: paratroopers shot down enemy drone by small arms
Units of the Novorossiysk Airborne Mountain Formation continue to carry out combat missions in Orekhov direction (Zaporozhye region).
▫️ During the rotation, assault group was moving on a pickup truck to the line of contact, when an enemy FPV drone approached from behind.
➡️ One of the servicemen detected the drone, driver increased speed, and personnel opened fire. As a result, the AFU drone was neutralised.
💪 Thanks to the excellent training of paratroopers, the enemy’s attempt to destroy a motor vehicle with manpower was thwarted that made it possible to successfully complete the rotation and perform the combat task.

🏳️ Captured Ukrainian serviceman Artyom Kondybko told about terrible situation on the front line and AFU war crimes in Krasnoarmeysk.
In Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk in Ukrainian), our team, three men, were taken prisoner. There was a machine gun emplacement in the house. Our task was to eliminate Russian troops, armoured hardware, and retreating Ukrainian troops, who were not willing to fight, to open fire. We were told not to show any pity to them and engage them like Russian troops,’ Kondybko said.
Artyom also said that Ukrainian troops left their wounded behind:
The situation is terrible, we had no food supplies, ammunition, nothing. A lot of men died, there are a lot of wounded, many surrender, Russian troops evacuate our wounded personnel. I suppose even if the AFU could, most unlikely that they wouldn’t evacuate the wounded.
Kondybko told about the war crimes of his comrades and violence against civilian population still residing in Krasnoarmeysk by the AFU.
When he spoke about his unit, Kondybko noted the facts of corruption among the command. Also, the serviceman mentioned the good attitude of Russian troops towards the POWs.

🤝 Tsentr Group’s servicemen continue to provide necessary assistance to civilians in liberated areas of Krasnoarmeysk.
Many civilians have spent more than a year in shelters, getting out of basements only if absolutely necessary. People were hiding from the shelling, the AFU drones, and avoided personal meetings with Ukrainian militants, which could have resulted intheir death.
Ukrainian neo-Nazis shot anyone they saw, as well as tracked down the temporary accommodation areas for residents and sent attack UAVs to their shelters.
Spontaneous cemeteries have been formed in some courtyards during the AFU stayed in the city. Residents of one house buried four neighbours: one was shot dead by Ukrainian militants while leaving the city, three died due to lack of proper medical care.

🪖 Servicemen of the 1194th regiment of the Yug Group of Forces told about the liberation of Ivanopolye in the Donetsk People’s Republic.
➡️ The AFU hardware and armament, including NATO-made ones, were captured in the former Ukrainian positions. The trophies include small arms and its ammunition, anti-tank missile systems, grenade launchers, and observation means.
💬 A platoon leader with the call sign ‘Romul’ is convinced that an integrated approach is needed to successfully carry out the combat task:
‘First of all, of course, it is the training of servicemen. So, we have professional instructors. And, certainly, it wasn’t without the artillery support. Artillery works all the time, and our UAVs also permanently operates. Ivanopole is a key settlement. I suppose, it’s a bridgehead, from which our troops will begin to develop an offensive in Konstantinovka direction’.
⏩ The success of the Yug Group’s assault detachments made it possible to approach the southern outskirts of Konstantinovka, making it difficult for the enemy in the settlement. Attack UAV operators got the opportunity to detect and destroy enemy military targets in Konstantinovka.
‘The settlement location makes it an extremely important for the exploitation of success,’ said the commander of the 1st Battalion (1194th Regiment) with the call sign ‘Dzhef’. ‘It’s a good place to hide, place armament, and continue the offensive towards Konstantinovka. It’s important to work discreetly. We choose our own path, and we’re doing well’.
