Ukrainian forces have destroyed nearly four platoons of Russian infantry in a single day at the Pokrovsk axis, according to the Spatan brigade. The soldiers have reported that Russian occupation forces deployed 90 assault troops to this operation.
The Spartan brigade was formed in Kharkiv at the outset of the Russian-Ukrainian war in 2014. Today, its combat experience, combined with modern technology, drones, and Western military assistance, allows Ukrainian units to stop significantly larger Russian troops.
Winter fog hasn't concealed Russian occupiers
“Under the cover of fog, the Russians attempted to advance using cars, motorcycles, and quad bikes,” the brigade reports.
Spatan has halted the assault with the elite Birds of Madiar Regiment. It is regarded as one of Ukraine's most effective drone formations, led by Commander Robert Brovdi, that destroys thousands of Russian targets each month.
Russia loses quad bikes, too
Over the course of one day of fighting, Russian forces suffered heavy losses:
- 80 Russian assault troops killed
- 2 wounded
- 2 captured
Ukrainian forces also destroyed:
- 10 quad bikes
- 4 motorcycles
- 6 Russian military vehicles
The attempted rapid breakthrough using mobile assault groups ended in complete failure for Russian forces.
