UNDERGROUND blasts by RUSSIANS, SSO behind enemy lines, LAST SELFIE of the occupiers | STREAM the best
Ukrainian military operations involved clearing Russian tunnel networks with thermobaric ammunition, conducting linear ambushes, and using FPV drones to destroy tanks, BMP-2M vehicles, and a TOS-3 Drakon system.
Längd 48:36
Speaker 1
Enemy positions were identified; they were established in underground shelters near private houses, and an impressive mopping-up operation was carried out. What are these craters? Where did they come from? You see, they are just like that, it's somehow not apparent that these were some kind of dug-out shelters, although here, where he is now throwing some kind of ammunition, it's visible that it is like an entrance to some kind of dugout.
Speaker 2
There's a whole system of tunnels there, you see, they threw it—as Mr. Misyura says—they blew through the command post, searched through there. Well, essentially, those from the 5th Assault have surely encountered this perfectly as well; the Russians, this was especially active in the Bakhmut direction at the time, when they occupied a building and literally removed the floor in a private house and then dug tunnels under the house, also trying to advance or do something. Therefore, it's not excluded that the Russians dug these tunnel communication lines here over a certain period of time, which are extremely difficult to clear, because just imagine how an assault soldier is supposed to get in there, and you can't just rush in, or call in aviation. Well,
Unknown speaker
and
Speaker 1
They are so chaotic, as you can see, in ruins now, and this is the result of our guys already throwing something, maybe small bomber drones worked before, but they are already so broken, and the guys are now simply clearing them, finishing the clearing, they have to carry them inside there and throw some kind of ammunition inside through such an opening, and I became very curious as to exactly what kind of ammunition this is, because look at how spectacular it is, everything explodes, such a spectacular badaboom happens every time that smoke just comes out of all the exits, as you can see, I don't even know what exactly they could have put there, it looks as if it's in some kind of bottle, if you noticed, if you pause the video, you can look closer and see that it's something quite unusual, and, essentially, I would like to find out exactly what kind of ammunition this is, and we have the opportunity right now to ask for more details from the chief of staff of the 2nd Assault Battalion of the 5th Separate Assault Brigade, now on the line with us is Pavlo Sukhoviy, greetings, Mr. Pavlo
Speaker 3
Good evening, greetings
Speaker 1
Please tell us, what exactly was the ammunition the guys had, and what did they use to clear and finish clearing all those dugouts?
Speaker 3
Alright, look, the ammunition is our own production, it is made by our engineers; in this case, an infantry thermobaric weighing 1.5 kg was used. Considering that this was an extremely strong point in Dachna, Dnipropetrovsk region, it was an extreme stronghold, so the infantry carried light thermobarics there. At closer distances, we used infantry thermobarics of 3 kg, as you say, bada-boom, it was twice as powerful there.
Speaker 1
There
Speaker 3
It wasn't such a blast.
Speaker 1
Good
Speaker 3
The enemy infantry was disoriented, and our stormtroopers specifically cleared this strongpoint; they entered directly and, using small arms, took out everything that remained inside.
Speaker 2
And regarding the engineering of this fortification specifically, we were just wondering here whether the Russians dug it out like this themselves, dug burrows, or if there was some industrial building there that they adapted for themselves, do you know?
Speaker 3
We know, of course we know, it was a strongpoint that the Russians dug into at the edge of the settlement of Dachne. They were concentrating their troops, passing through Snovoukrainka, accumulating, and because of this, they could advance both through the settlement and enter the forested areas located further north. That is, for us, it was a specific, key area of the terrain, the capture of which allowed us to control the enemy's approaches to the settlement. For the entire settlement, which is small, two streets, we deployed two groups of four servicemen each, meaning eight assault troops were operating. Specifically for the clearing of this strongpoint, three servicemen were employed—Svegan, Jackson, and Kamas—they continue to serve. The guys have already appeared in reports more than once for the defense of Vyshneve; they are very great guys.
Speaker 1
Listen, while the guys were working, how extensive was the mining during that clearing operation? Often, when assault troops perform such tasks, the territory is heavily mined; the Russians often scatter various types of mines around themselves. They hide them, camouflaging them with soil and grass. What did the assault troops themselves encounter, and how difficult was it to complete this task?
Speaker 3
Assault troops encountered only the enemy's infantry, likewise. Regarding the mining, the enemy does not mine the paths where they themselves move. That is, we were knocking out the enemy, advancing steadily and following the enemy's tracks, i.e., they had no way to mine in front of themselves. In turn, our UAV assets carried out mining ahead of the approach to the enemy, which prevented them from bringing up reserves.
Speaker 4
That is,
Speaker 3
Assault troops clashed with assault groups. Our UAV forces, strike drones, worked very well. Specifically in this section, thermobarics were used first, then the infantry entered inside. Three enemy combatants were destroyed using small arms, and two who tried to escape were destroyed by strike UAVs. They ran across the road from there and were already destroyed on the road in the forested area.
Speaker 1
We know that this video is archival; now you are already working in the Holiaipil direction. What is the situation now in your direction, how is the enemy behaving there?
Speaker 3
I will tell you, our situation is, as always, where we stand, we are working and controlling this situation, inflicting damage on the enemy. Well, and
Speaker 1
maybe tell us a bit more about the tactics. Are they continuing to infiltrate in small infantry groups, trying to seep into our inter-positional space somewhere? Or what sized groups are they moving in—maybe two people, or have they already started moving one person at a time?
Unknown speaker
Okay,
Speaker 3
Let the war end first, there will be many interesting things to tell. We have our own tactics; the enemy has their own, let's say, faults, theirs is not very effective. If it were effective, it would have already taken sections of the terrain, territories. Since we are standing here, we are all working, trying to advance, always moving forward, so nothing is working out.
Speaker 2
Well, Mr. Pavlo, thank you very much for the information, I have boundless respect for the service members, the assault troops of your brigade, for their constant work. Legendary brigade,
Speaker 3
until the next broadcasts, all the best
Speaker 2
In the Hulyopil direction, it is reported that they are accumulating forces, accumulating equipment and personnel for a major push. And they are already beginning to probe; such a video was published by the 7th Airborne Assault Corps in their sector in the Hulyopil region. As already mentioned, the Russians launched an assault, using equipment, quad bikes, armored fighting vehicles, and personnel. They moved toward the settlements in the direction of Zaliznyczne and Hirke. And note that besides the large-scale use of equipment, old reliable mine rollers were used here, which are mounted on the first vehicle that is supposed to go and clear mines. Right here, the weather is foggy, not the best, and they tried to take advantage of this. As the 7th Airborne Assault Corps itself reports, everything here has been repelled and destroyed; about 100 units of enemy personnel were there. In this operation, equipment is burning, but this is not the main blow; the Russians are simply probing right now, testing, trying to see from which side. And these are like the first signs, and it's great that the paratroopers were ready, and we, along with neighboring units, responded with everything we have. Because it seems that the Russians have used all the previous lessons—here you have "mangals" (cope cages), here you have anti-EW; we are sure that perhaps some suppressed FPVs are already flying, covering their tanks as well. And they tried from different directions, in different ways, more maneuverably in some places, on foot in others. However, this currently ended in bright flames. Regarding the improvement of their air assets, all means are flying; in particular, you know, the enemy is now actively using jet drones, which, if it is the Geran-5, is already a full-fledged cruise missile; it turns out to be extremely difficult to shoot down a jet drone. And now in the video, we can observe the work of our aviation in shooting down a jet drone.
Unknown speaker
On
Speaker 2
The video shows specifically the F-16s of the air force operating, and you see the launch of an air-to-air missile, as a result of which nothing remains of the Geran. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find a countermeasure for them right now, and there is an extreme amount of work for aviation, very much, and at the same time, every sortie is also a risk, because note that at such speeds, the distances are actually very small at which one has to engage with this missile. Therefore, for people, this means a large number of air raid alerts, but consider how many specialists are engaged in work at this moment, aircraft are scrambled, and what a great effort it is to shoot all this down. It is also flying, what fifth weight, and somewhere there ballistics flew, somewhere a cruise missile, a rocket. Very
Speaker 3
thank you
Speaker 2
to our anti-infantry defense means and specialists. Let's start with a video of the combat work of the third regiment of the special operations forces, who carried out a lightning raid on the Russians, who had dug in quite well there, but firstly, it is the SOF, secondly – the SOF with thermobaric grenades
Speaker 7
Thank you!
Speaker 4
Base, base, we saw him, we saw him, now we're going after him, maybe he'll come out, maybe he'll come out
Speaker 7
Hold, hold, hold, hold all?
Unknown speaker
Yes
Speaker 2
Video from the Oleksandrivka direction and you could observe giant fortifications, so that you don't think that the Russians dug themselves in, this is how quickly they dug. Well, obviously, for now, their engineering genius hasn't gone that far, although they dig very, very well, but even in these positions, which were obviously built, were ours previously, the Russians still upgrade the fortifications. You saw, there are rubble piles there, in some places they are deeper, they are trying to crawl through, climb in, make some kind of burrow for themselves, because they dig quite well. The clearing, the difficulty of which, besides the fact that that Russian needs to be somehow rooted out from there, is that everything is happening in open terrain, open, where everything is clearly visible and visible not only from the fortification, but also from drones, first and foremost, and a concentration of special forces could also be, and the Russians would have noticed 100% and would strike them, maybe drop something, something would fly there, but here, thanks to operational efficiency, it was possible to destroy the enemy who was here, a hidden enemy. You see, he has already settled in here, they wrote "Irkutsk".
Speaker 8
If I am not mistaken, this is most likely our position, characteristic of the past, just typical equipment, and we have, several times, dismantled the setup of exactly these kinds of dugout nets, one could even say that all of them are, in essence, very similar to one another, and they can be classically broken through right behind the wall cladding, with this net and canvas.
Speaker 2
But there was no Irkutsk sign then. Well, and the SSO too, well, it's a classic here, came quietly, left quietly, carried out the task, because actually, as you saw, they approached quietly, carried out the task, and then hid, hid somewhere in the greenery, far away, and left via small paths and used buggies for movement, which also drive exactly along a narrow path in the shelterbelt, a narrow path in the planting, which of course doesn't save you 100 percent from a hit in the half-boots and from everything there, there, and then there they'd carry out the task, but it still makes you less visible, quickly, fast, practically. Well.
Speaker 8
and thermobaric grenades, these are actually a luxury and they don't occur that often, for example, we weren't issued any. Well, those special operations forces had some more interesting and intriguing means of destruction, so we see that such grenades go to them. We will move on to Zaporizhzhia, there was an interesting fragment there that the cameras of our scouts managed to capture. Yes, the video will capture precisely the incident with the 33 GROUP unit, which is part of Timur's special unit of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Here they were sitting in such an APC, like the Gyurza, as you know, and the unexpected happened, let's watch
Speaker 3
Let's head out, guys
Speaker 8
Interesting fragment for several reasons; first, you heard how calmly our scout said, "we're getting out, guys." That is, the armor of the Gyurza would probably have withstood this hit, but we see that it was additionally welded with a frame, a mesh, and this provided for the guys and in general gave rise to such fighter's composure. Something else interested me: we hear at the beginning how small arms are firing, or is it firing from a machine gun turret, perhaps, perhaps it's firing from a machine gun turret, as if a machine gun was working.
Speaker 2
I think small arms, because it would be extremely noticeable if a machine gun were operating, casings would be raining down too, and I think that's exactly why I wasn't calm, they started shooting, that something is flying, already like, op, gathered together a bit, then a strike, well and so, it's titanic resilience, we just go out, and that's it
Speaker 8
They came, looked, everything is fine
Speaker 2
Gyurza is obviously a great machine, it's based on a Dodge Ram, if I'm not mistaken, and as soon as the Gyurzas entered the military, I saw the first ones, we rode in the first ones, and it was like a song, it was music, and this one, which is in Timur's special transport unit, you can see that it is mobile, fast, it's not heavily laden.
Speaker 3
And
Speaker 2
I recently saw the same gyurza, I once saw when they had just entered the sector of the 100th separate mechanized brigade, and you would never recognize it, it's just a big wagon moving, and somewhere inside beats the heart of the same Dodge Ram, which, by the way, has been performing tasks for them for two and a half years already, they repair it, this is about the reliability of the gyurza, a good machine we,
Speaker 8
Once it was interesting, we visited the positions of the artillerymen, our Gramochs, 2025 with our operator Anastasia, and we were also traveling in a gyurza, and as we are driving, I hear it rattling, but we started driving while it was still dark, immediately after the grid corridor they tried to hit a half-platoon, Rebi suppressed him there, he was sleeping somewhere there, and it's dawning, I look, and we are driving on 60 artillery shells, 100 ml wind. This is such an interesting moment when you only realize the full danger later. Well, and next we'll see something also interesting, a unique video of its kind, here our pilots didn't just fly into an enemy Bukhanka, they later found a video recorded by the Russians after the strike, and showed how it happens from both sides. We can see how the Russians already see and understand that a drone is approaching them, and here this moment approaches, there is a hit, Russian logistics military personnel ran away and scattered, and now they will run up, extinguish and try to pull out the remains of what they were carrying. We can immediately understand how the enemy's logistics work, what they are transporting, we see fuel canisters scattered, they intend for this Bukhanochka to keep driving, they aren't completely writing it off, some oranges, citrus fruits, maybe some wealthy unit, because we sometimes hear that they eat bark, but here we see oranges getting into the frame. And water, they are pouring it on everything, extinguishing, it's also interesting what was inside in the cargo compartment, but this is a slight unboxing by the Ivan Franko unit, Ivan Franko-Groub, which you have just watched.
Speaker 2
15 thousand reactions, you saw from the screenshot, were collected thanks to OSINT, all this was combined, thanks also to Serhiy Sternenko's community for such a video, and I can't imagine how one must burn for this little Buhanka, literally burn and adore it, it will still drive, Volodymyr, by the way, but obviously, I'll calculate how long the hand was in contact with the fire, obviously it was on adrenaline and most likely there will be burns,
Speaker 3
at the same time,
Speaker 2
that let him be in a glove, let him even have a tunic, fire-resistant pants, but still you see skin and, well, you saved the bukhanka, it will drive
Speaker 3
with this hand and remember.
Speaker 2
And here, meanwhile, the 57th separate motorized infantry brigade, Febekina, noticed a target that was quite atypical by all parameters and carried out its destruction; now we will analyze what it was, why it glowed, you see, they are moving it along the highway, racing as fast as possible, because this piece of equipment allows speeding up to 65 kilometers per hour, and this is how they immediately show us that the 57th brigade reports the destruction of a TOS-3 Drakon, a heavy flamethrower system that fires thermobaric munitions of 220 millimeters caliber, and later we will tell you about the Drakon, but here, you see, it flies in close, the side is all mangled, everything as it should be, it approaches the target and carries out the strike. Legendarily historical, one could say, the first Drakon in history, because we have seen many destructions of TOS-1 Solntsepyoks, saw the second TOS also burning, but at the same time, meaning the TOS on a Ural, meanwhile a wave of discussions also appeared on the internet. And so they will also appear in our chat, by the way, we are actively reading our chat, thank you to the viewers, Rada, Vitaliy, Krzysztof, you see, these are our regular viewers, and I am sure a discussion will start here now as well, you will support it, whether it was specifically the third TOS, what is the third TOS in general? The Russians, using heavy flamethrower systems which are extremely lethal, we have very often seen lately, even with an increase in distance, how they used Solntsepyoks, TOS-1. The firing range of which is extremely minimal, 5-6 kilometers, and direct line-of-sight is needed for guidance, but they sent them anyway, sometimes they fired, and sometimes they burned, so the Russians decided they needed something that shoots further than the TOS-1; they made a TOS, it is already on a base…
Speaker 9
T-72 or T-90
Speaker 2
are they deploying? A TOS in the Urals.
Speaker 9
This one?
Speaker 2
Well, this one, yes. That is, they later made a flamethrower system safer for the operator, and it started riding on a Ural chassis, firing for 15-20 kilometers, but they decided that war is modern, they need to modernize, in '24 they decided to make the TOS-3, this very dragon. They quickly did research, experimented, and decided, why not make flamethrower shells that fire for 15-20 kilometers, and put them on a tracked armored chassis, and there T-72, because T-90, although there were rumors that someone wanted to use the T-80 as a base, they most likely made it on the T-72. And so in the photo you saw the exhibition version, as people can see it in Russia, this is for Arkhebeze Day, they put it on display, they are enjoying it. What is characteristic here, how does it differ? We have 15 launch tubes here, three and five. Let's look up close now at how it flies into… Do you want to count, or if there isn't
Speaker 9
24?
Speaker 2
Well, because it's in TOS-24. Four,
Unknown speaker
yes,
Speaker 9
in TOS-2.
Speaker 2
And we are interested in the TOS-1A.
Speaker 9
In
Speaker 2
How many TOS-1As, Kateryna? We need to think. So show me how many launch tubes are there, it'll arrive soon. And look at these photos, three and five. Because people say that it could just be a modified, improved TOS-1A. Let's look. And while you are looking, I am looking too; it's definitely in my notes, it would be a shame to forget how many. Count them, Kateryna, and I will distract the people.
Speaker 9
It is very hard to say here. If the colonel were here, he would be examining this down to the millimeter right now. And in general, what could be a possible version? Because indeed, the Russians are now trying to save their equipment. Especially since a sensipyok, whether of the first or second format, is still very deadly. The Russians use it from time to time. But I still want to believe the drone operators of the 57th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade. Because, in my opinion, the destruction of such brand-new weapon is definitely legendary and historic. And it seems to me that they could have actually already put it on the rails and brought it to their Belgarichchyna, in order to try and use it in such field, combat conditions.
Speaker 2
Yes, Katerina, I'm ready. Go ahead. Not ready. Still not. We are still searching for how many launch tubes there were. The TOS-1 has 24 shots.
Speaker 9
24,
Speaker 2
yes. There were clearly fewer than 24. I am sure,
Speaker 9
whichever is less.
Speaker 2
It seems to me that there
Speaker 9
It was 15.
Speaker 2
And it is quite logical, dear viewer, that this is precisely in Shebekino, that is, somewhere there in Russia… This
Speaker 9
highway. We were just talking about the R280 highway, which leads to Crimea, which is constantly monitored by Ukrainian drones. And here, as you can see, we are moving to a new level, to highway 14K3. This is, in principle, a regional road in the Belgorod region, which connects Belgorod, Shebekino, and Volokonovka. Right. That's why they are there so…
Speaker 2
…were driving. Therefore, they are dispersing, yes. Therefore, dear internet haters, of course, we also read the chats. Thank you very much for writing this polemic. But we believe that 57 historically hit specifically the third TOS, which, as you saw, is mangaled and its characteristic feature is that it is for modern warfare. That is, they come from the factory with mangals, and the first ones were even supposed to have wave-cutters. This is their EW system that they put on tanks; it didn't seem to help much. Well, as we see, here it is not particularly [helpful] either. Meanwhile, there was talk about how the Russians are trying to secure their launchers, setting up a spotter, a pilot, and so on, including the launches of their jet drones, since clusters are often targeted very effectively. They decided that this needs to be done mobile, and it is no news that, conventionally, a Geran can be launched from a pickup truck that drives out, and it flies from the pickup. However, the Russians are still so impressed by their invention—well, not their invention, but by the fact that they thought of putting a jet Shahed on a pickup—that they still cannot believe it themselves. Judging by everything, they decide to take some photos before the launch, and they are also filmed not only on their phones but also by a drone. This video was published by Serhiy Stranenko's community. In the video, we observe exactly.
Speaker 9
Look, a photo for memory, for eternal memory.
Speaker 2
That's it, look, from another angle everything is as it should be. They have a small shelter here. This is the airport.
Speaker 9
Donetsk. On
Speaker 2
the spot of the little accident is like that, it drove in like that in this little pickup, hoping that no one would see them. Yes
Speaker 9
there is a covering, though,
Speaker 2
Of course, no one will see. Probably, no one will see from above. At the same time, they turned on the parking lights a little bit, so that no one would crash accordingly; you are standing there, preparing the head for takeoff, but right here, look, and a Geran is nearby, and you are sitting on an ATV. This is a photograph for a demobilization album. And catapults.
Speaker 9
how much, yes.
Speaker 2
But notice what is flying in. An FPV drone is flying in, and it is not even the most expensive FPV drone, judging by the initiator installed there. That is, the good old FPV drone; it is not some Hornet where everything is done, refined, and it flies to a great depth, and it is so completely produced—well, the Hornet, which the Russians admire so much, saying, "well, the Americans just put this drone together, flew to maximum depth and worked out that moment when a regular drone can act as air defense," because what are the best FPVs? It is the capture of the enemy's airfield. As they say, what is the best countermeasure against a Shahed? It is to not let it take off, along with the Russians who were supposed to ensure that.
Speaker 9
But listen, this is just a miracle, because literally the other day we saw how they flew over Donetsk in the same way, and the enemy drones there tried to shoot them down in the same way—our drones, well, they are just some kind of marvels. Obviously, they definitely didn't expect or count on it flying right, you know, into the rear; I don't even know how to comment on this.
Speaker 2
Meanwhile, here is another video of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine in action; this time "Pomsta" will be working, their "Strazh" unit found a rather sophisticated target. First, it is equipment; second, it is not simple equipment. As it flies closer, we observe the characteristic movement of a 30mm 2.72 gun, meaning it is a BMP-2, but as it flew even closer, closing the distance, specialists managed to decipher what was there. Over there on the left, you see two characteristic small circles; that is where the PTURs—their launchers, anti-tank guided missiles—are supposed to be installed. And based on the characteristic configuration, they guessed that it was not just a BMP-2, but a BMP-2M with the "Birizhok" combat module. This is what it looks like. Birizhok is actually that same 2.72—if I'm not mistaken—30mm with… Ah, yes, I am mistaken; there is a 2.42 there. 2.72 is the 30mm on some BTR, because it…
Speaker 3
already light.
Speaker 2
Sorry, please, I'm not even looking at the chat, you've already corrected me – 2A42 30mm gun. And the characteristic missiles that are installed. Plus, of course, a PKT 7.62 is also installed there. It is special in that there is an improved guidance system, a system for operating, aiming, and fighting at night. But in modern warfare, even despite such a configuration, it was probably the right decision to hide it somewhere and hope that no one would see it. But "Strash" from the "Pomsta" brigade saw it and worked on this unique specimen.
Speaker 9
I'm just amazed that Russians here generally write such outrageous things about this modernized BMP, claiming it's impossible to destroy, but as you can see, it is possible—and very much so.
Speaker 8
They were glad to see the operators of the 6th Special Operations Forces Regiment "Enemy Ranger" in the ambush they organized for them. Let's watch.
Speaker 6
Reloading. Banning, banning.
Speaker 10
I
Speaker 6
I see them there. Surrender, you bitch! Yes-yes-yes, 10 meters from me. Stop, stop, stop. Look! There's a 200.
Speaker 11
Shut off.
Speaker 7
Ready?
Unknown speaker
Yes.
Speaker 6
Without this, I wouldn't have bypassed the radio. But it would have been scary with grenades, maybe. We led them by crawling below. Dvizhi, relieve me.
Speaker 4
I'm walking without gloves.
Speaker 6
Paradise will wait, so that while it's disgusting.
Unknown speaker
So,
Speaker 8
Also, it's worth noting what caught my attention in the description of this episode: that the special forces set up a linear ambush for the enemy. Have you heard of such maneuvers? This was in the description.
Speaker 2
written
Speaker 8
linear ambush? Yes, linear ambush. I turned to the internet, to all the GPT chats and such, and found out that a linear ambush is organized along the route of movement, that is, along the route of movement. That's an interesting point. Overall, I think there are many different types of ambushes, but today we will analyze this one specifically. Here are the special forces.
Speaker 2
At the turn, the ambush is most important.
Speaker 8
This is a flask
Speaker 2
H. Bukla H. Chat outmaneuvers everyone at the turn.
Speaker 8
And here we see, as they claimed themselves. Special forces tracked the enemy starting from the ravine, which the Russians were climbing via a path, and our rangers took them out immediately. Two right away, the third even caught fire afterward; it is clear that one had some ammunition with them that detonated or ignited. Another interesting point, which you may have also paid special attention to, is how our SSO operators flipped over the already destroyed enemy. One stood providing cover, controlling the area directly above him. The other flipped [the body] to ensure their own safety in case of a treacherous maneuver by the Russians. He could have been holding at least a grenade—the special forces operator himself mentioned this—or a weapon, and could have fired at some moment. This is a very dangerous moment. Specifically, the finishing off of the enemy at the end can yield such an unpleasant surprise. But our SSO operators were ready for such surprises; they wiped out this group in the zone of responsibility of the operational directions of the 6th Special Operations Forces Regiment.
Speaker 2
Sixth Regiment, super, left. You can watch, we filmed "What a Gun" with them, about 10 episodes I think, how professional the operators fighting there are. I don't know, it's hard to understand here where the smog of responsibility of the 6th Regiment is, because they are here, they are there, they are everywhere.
Speaker 8
That's the beauty of it,
Speaker 2
No one knows. But it is worth noting how much they actually made life easier for the Russians, who obviously needed to infiltrate, move around, and take this route. See how maximally packed they are. They were dragging a heap of things, they seemed super tired. And it was noted that there was a decent amount of ammunition unloaded there, many pouches were thrown around. At the same time, there were sleeping bags, and full backpacks, and full of things that caught fire during the shots that hit him. Therefore, perhaps the Russians are even very happy; rather, their suffering ended, highly professional work. And it is extremely important that, judging by the vigor of these Russians, it means they didn't leave long ago, and probably the radio stations and positions are more current, and everything is not discharged, everything is there, everything is available, excellent work. And this is in conditions, let's remind you, of a factual abundance of drones, where they are at every step. Still, like the knights of the SSO, they work according to—well, a linear ambush, it seems, in the textbooks of tactics, someone has already crossed out that paragraph, linear ambush, all these moments seemed long forgotten by some. In the SSO, this is not the first time we see such tasks being performed, boundless respect, because, you know, modern war is a maximum concentration of drones. Now we can see how the Russians encounter our drones, this time not from the Special Operations Forces, but from the 33rd Separate Mechanized Brigade. Here, thanks to Serhiy Sternenko's community, with fiber-optic drones in such a mist, the weather seemed ideal to cross open terrain, meeting a Russian. The Russians, unlike those who were shot—you saw, the SSO did a linear ambush—he had already wandered and walked a bit, already lost something without order, threw something away somewhere, performing his main role. This is to infiltrate, get in somewhere, sit, wait until something is dropped. The idea is logical, he did everything correctly, if we don't consider that he went to fight, moving through open terrain, chose, judging by the camera—see, it's a bit smeared, or it was drizzling, there was fog, perhaps a light rain. Not very good weather for a UAV, the drone is fiber-optic, so there should be some images here without problems, very good, but some of this condensate stuck to it. They approach him, the target, he didn't expect to see it, and decided to offer the best resistance. One can take two paths here. On one hand, one could say that he is a fool who decided to knock it down with his hand and blew up, excellent work. On the other hand, theoretically, perhaps he actually calculated it carefully and tried to deflect the drone so as not to hit the initiator, and send it off in that direction. Yes, I understand,
Speaker 8
deflected so that it detonated further away, possibly causing less damage than it could have, but we have seen various scenarios and even showed Russians who tried to intercept a drone heading for Odesa, remember, there were ones like that too. Only in this case an arm was torn off, there, you understand, what exactly tore it off.
Speaker 2
Such a typical struggle espoparation, he's like, don't film me, not today. I'm not in the mood. Lyon 33rd separate mechanized brigade.
Speaker 8
Our mood came from another piece of news. Actually, I think you will feel it now too. Perhaps you already know that the units of the Skelya regiment and the first Azov corps conducted a joint offensive operation in the Dobropillia direction, stopping the enemy's advance there in the area of Gruzkyi and Novomykolaivka.
Speaker 11
Infantry and assault troops, through fighting, passed through the system of treelines and cleared dozens of enemy positions.
Speaker 8
A very interesting operation, a very high level of interaction between the units, as indicated. It is worth noting that this clearance of the area, the stopping of the advance, and the counter-offensive actions were carried out—let's just say—by all the units that were involved there. This was precisely the unit of the 425th Separate Assault Regiment "Skelya", the "Shkval" battalion of the 425th Separate Assault Regiment, the 1st and 6th battalions of the 12th Special Purpose Brigade "Azov", the "Ultima" special purpose reconnaissance unit, "Ratio", and the "Tuman" separate special purpose unit of the 1st Corps of the NGU "Azov". And support was also provided by service members of the "Lazargroup" separate special purpose unit of the National Guard of Ukraine. This is the fine assembly of such specialists who carried out the clearance. First, they stopped the enemy; "Shkval" advanced, with the 425th Separate Assault Regiment in front, clearing positions with drone support, as you already know how it happens. First, drones work, thinning out the enemy's defense, then the assault troops enter, clear the positions, and move forward. If you watch this video in full, you will see what kind of interaction there was. That is, if they came across some kind of enemy fortifications, they asked the guys to pull back, our "bird", helicopter, or bomber would work on it, bombing it—those episodes were well-captured there—and then the clearance was carried out. Although there was an interesting episode when they encountered the enemy, there were three fighters there. And once again, AZOV said that the guys from the "Shkval" assault troops should pull back, and we will destroy them now. And the infantry, the assault troops, said, "no, this is a matter of principle now, they've gotten to us, let us take them apart in a firefight". And they destroyed these three Russians; in total, 46 occupiers were destroyed specifically in firefights by the 425th Separate Assault Regiment "Skelya". Such good interaction allowed this operation to be carried out with a very good result; many enemies were destroyed. During the engagements, there was also an interesting moment of how a fighter with the call sign "Fantazyor" carried someone 500 meters on his back. "Fantazyor", it seems, if I'm not mistaken—you can see these frames now—that's how he carried the fighter on his back to the NRK, that's how the evacuation was then carried out. He asked beforehand, "what's up, do you have children?" Then he said, "yes, a daughter in first grade," and he said, "well then, I'll definitely get you out". And although the wounded fighter doubted it, "Fantazyor", if I'm not mistaken, carried him 500 meters on himself, keep in mind, plus his own gear. That is, an operation that has many dimensions, many interesting turns, many interesting details; I think we only know some part of it for now, but later more interesting fragments will arrive, which we will analyze here together.
Speaker 2
And it is pleasant to watch how the SSO sets up an ambush somewhere, how they storm here, but it is important to understand how heavy and difficult this work is, and also at what cost it is done. Here is a clear demonstration, this is the evacuation of a wounded person. Now we will see a video of the work of the 82nd Separate Air Assault Bukovyna Brigade. Their "Sunstrike" unit is conducting a hunt, and not just a hunt, but a hunt at an altitude of, as stated, 6123 meters. You see now, they are working against a Molniya. Listen, this is a Molniya. Molniya flies at
Speaker 8
such
Speaker 2
height. Molniya 13, and it is still being used, note that it is specifically as a carrier, a carrier of other means, a mother ship. This is probably why it was intended to be raised to such a height, but 6123 is literally…
Speaker 8
This is a Shahed
Speaker 2
height. Because the wasp won't reach it not even because of the height, but because it won't be able to capture the lightning. And you, by the way, know what…
Speaker 8
interceptor? I can't say what kind
Speaker 2
Interceptor. I know, but I won't say, so that there is no embarrassment right now if it is not him. But a very good interceptor, wonderful, and here at the end it worked up to the guidance. See, it's like a detective, and you're already steering, it seems, only with the throttle. Most likely. I don't want "Sunstrike" super-fans fighting, so that it's not said that a person manually guides at such speeds and altitudes, while you just sit here until the guidance.
Speaker 8
So we know the altitude, the speed is interesting. They have also gained altitude, possibly in speed as well, or further. Especially since it's 12, it was stated there. But overall, "Sunstrike", if you are watching our stream, we admire your work, and that you are already at such altitudes.
Speaker 2
you are working on the verdict. This is to raise the interceptor to such a height, how much time must pass. There, literally at such a height, other laws of physics already work. Yes, there
Speaker 8
the air is thinner. I cannot imagine how not only the Molniyas, but even our interceptor behaves there.
Speaker 2
Wow! By the way, Volodymyr, did you see the multi-screen they made for us for this stream? Beautiful and dynamic. Dear viewers, we are reading your comments in the chat. Sorry, we paid less attention today because there was a huge amount of work. But, you'll see, I think this design solution with the multi-screen is wonderful.
Speaker 8
We can even just address each other.
Speaker 2
You can pass something like this through this. I pass here, and you there, sort of… Volodymyr, let's try with a pencil. I'll give you a pen now. Volodymyr, here it is, take the pencil. No, you should have taken your own. I
Speaker 8
I just didn't understand
Speaker 2
of this trick. Such tricks need to be discussed in advance. We'll work everything out.
Speaker 1
Now let's talk about the robotic stretcher UGVs, about their operational use already during combat operations. And during the evacuation of a soldier with injured lower limbs, they were rescued using such UGV-stretchers. And this is a real fragment of an evacuation from the combat zone. The wounded person, as you can see, was securely fastened to these stretchers and transported to a point for further evacuation. And one of the comrades, as noted, operated this UGV with one hand, while with the other hand, he simply covered him with a weapon. And, as you see, another comrade is trying to cover them in this open terrain. And, as you see, the drone itself handles this tall grass quite well. And there are even some ditches there, which it also overcomes. Therefore, first, the wounded person needs to be taken exactly from this zone under fire, transported to a safer zone, from where they can then be evacuated by an evac. And until that moment, the guys often have to carry them in their arms. Such robotic complexes are very helpful. And we see that they are developing more and more. And every time in the streams, something new can be noticed. Sometimes these UGVs have an armored capsule, sometimes they come with improved wheels, sometimes they are tracked, with better shock absorbers so that the wounded person lying there feels more comfortable and is not shaken when moving.
Speaker 2
Very small, yes, indeed, a nerka, just tiny. And it's good here that the nerka direction is currently moving in two ways, that in some places we saw 60 BTRs converted to nerka, some Humvees converted to nerka that are operated remotely, but it is also moving towards smaller sizes, because from here it's as if you can't even see where it is, how many of those small wheels there are.
Speaker 1
We will continue talking about how the guys, the border guards, in the Pridniprovsky direction during night monitoring found an actual parking area for enemy equipment and burned a lot of interesting things there. And indeed, we can see the result of their work on the screen now; they hit a T-72 tank, a "Tigr" armored vehicle, a fuel tanker, and two D-30 guns. Well, you could say it was an FPV fine for illegal parking. The video here is not of very high quality because these were night fiber-optic drones, but you can see in detail exactly where they were hiding, in which hangars, and how skillfully the pilot flies in and simply hits the target. And a big thank you to the border guards for providing us with such vivid video. It has been a long time since there was so much valuable equipment. At the same time,
Speaker 2
This kind of balanced equipment, if you take, here we have strikes on guns, somewhere there are strikes on depots of light automotive equipment, heavy, and here they searched comprehensively, found a gun and went, engaged a T-72, but the main thing are the Tigers. There are probably still many Tigers, but we very rarely see the actual use of Tigers now, which stood there, perhaps waiting for their moment, but they will no longer get to be deployed. Well, they said, they said, your Tiger will burn, don't take it out, don't take it out, don't show it anywhere at LBZ, hide it in warehouses, place it with a tank. And here it is worth noting the composure of the FPV pilots specifically, because specifically with the D30 122-mm gun that you see, there is a net stretched over it, which is not immediately visible in front of it, meaning the enemy hoped that one could not approach with a drone, could not fly in, they were trying to stall it all somehow. And at night, when you effectively have no lighting that shows from a height what is happening from the drone, where you have to operate at night and fly this drone as a scout, and at the same time carry out the strike, you already see the 30 here, you want to plunge it so much into the field, blow it up, but you fly in slowly, the signature of the net is already visible up close, you fly around the net, and only then do you strike. Very professional work.
