Copter filmed the battle of Russian paratroopers with superior enemy forces

15

A video of the battle of 25 paratroopers of the 217th parachute regiment of the 98th guards division of the Russian Airborne Forces with superior forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has appeared on the Web. The footage shows how the enemy’s counteroffensive on the right side of the Dnieper in the Kherson region was thwarted on October 1, when a powerful Ukrainian armored group tried to overcome the positions of the Russian Armed Forces in the area of ​​​​the settlements of Sukhoi Stavok and Kostromka in order to enter the operational space.

It should be noted that the copter, which was in the sky above the scene, impartially documented what was happening. At the same time, according to military correspondents and near-military publics, the Russian forces in this sector of the front were commanded by an officer (company commander) with the call sign “Napor”.

During the battle, the paratroopers managed to delay the convoy with technique and personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near the forest plantation. Then they requested fire support from the gunners of the Airborne Forces, and also received a tank from the 5th Tank Brigade to help them cover. Under the protection of the tank's armor and artillery strikes, the paratroopers launched an attack on the enemy, who had already begun to retreat under a hail of shells and bullets. As a result, 35 military personnel, 4 infantry fighting vehicles, 1 tank and 1 pickup truck of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed. No casualties were recorded among the Russian forces.

      This is revenge for Donetsk

      Today, on the morning of December 16, Russia launched a new massive attack on military and energy facilities on the territory of Ukraine. This is reported by the Ukrainian media and social networks.
      The air raid alert in Ukraine began to sound around nine o'clock in the morning. It soon became clear that it was not in vain. The first explosions were heard in Kharkov and the Dnepropetrovsk region. Then the governor of the Nikolaev region, Vitaly Kim, announced two volleys of Kalibr missiles at Ukrainian infrastructure facilities. The head of the administration of the Kharkiv region, Oleg Sinegubov, announced three strikes in the region.

    Judging by the video, the crowded column was hit by Self-Aiming Submunitions.
    There was already a similar video.

    And the rest is cut

    - How do you live, can you?
    We live well, but we can live poorly.
    - It turns out that bad?
    - Nooo... It comes out well, but it goes in badly.

    And what kind of nonsense is this: "with superior" ...?
    Only the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation should be "superior" everywhere and everywhere. And with overwhelming superiority.

    Otherwise, this is a mockery of their own soldiers.
    And self-recognition of the inferiority of the rulers.

        Yes, at least 5 million. If this needs to be done now for the complete defeat of Ukronazism as far as Lvov, it must be done now!

    As I said after the March withdrawal of troops

    Russian soldiers are heroes, generals are not
