In the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, Ukrainian special forces continue to carry out daring and effective missions.
One such operation took place in the Kursk region, where a Ukrainian team defeated a much larger Russian platoon, reports Ziare.
The operation was swift and well-executed, showcasing the Ukrainian forces’ strategic planning and skill in the field.
During a routine mission to clear enemy forces, the Ukrainian team encountered a much larger group of Russian soldiers.
They quickly adapted and used a drone to distract the enemy, enabling them to get close without being detected.
In this operation, Ukrainian forces captured 12 Russian soldiers and eliminated 17 others. The Russian troops, caught off guard, were unable to respond effectively.
The Ukrainian commander explained that their smaller team managed to overpower the larger Russian force due to precise planning and quick action.
He mentioned, "We were willing to face superior enemy numbers. Everything was carried out quickly and efficiently, and the Russian troops did not have time to retaliate."
In a video shared by the Ukrainian forces, Russian soldiers can be seen emerging from a bunker, trying to escape the drones, only to be captured at gunpoint.
The scene was tense, with grenades and small arms being used. One of the operators described how they got within 100 meters of the enemy, who were too focused on hiding to defend themselves.
This operation is part of a broader series of attacks by Ukrainian forces in Kursk, which marks the first time since World War II that foreign forces have entered Russian territory.
Ukrainian units carried out sabotage missions, evacuated wounded soldiers, and attacked Russian command posts, further undermining the enemy’s position.
Ukrainian special forces are now focused on advancing further with the support of their allies, particularly the United Kingdom, which provides them with advanced technology.
Despite facing overwhelming odds, the special forces remain committed to freeing their country and defeating the Russian invasion.
Every successful mission strengthens their resolve as they continue to make a real impact on Russia’s military strategy in the region.
