Details

As a result of counterattack actions, the brigade took control of the battalion defense area of ​​the occupiers, enemy platoon and company strongholds and advanced deep into the front by almost two km2.

The military says the ratio of forces on the battlefield is 2.5 to 1 in favor of the enemy. Plus enemy support forces.

The main task of the operation was to knock down the offensive potential of the 20th army of the Russian Federation. For the time being, this task has been accomplished

said the brigade commander, Colonel Andriy Biletskyi.

In four days, the enemy lost three hundred personnel in manpower, and a significant amount of equipment and weapons was destroyed or damaged.

The uniqueness of the operation was that we attacked the overwhelming enemy and won. Success depended on detailed planning, non-standard solutions, coordinated work of artillery, anti-aircraft defense, BPS and intelligence. But the heroes of the battlefield were tankers, sappers, scouts and, first of all, attack aircraft

 explained the brigade commander.

Assault actions diverted the enemy's blow from the direction of Makiivka and relieved the tension from other critical areas of the front in the lanes of neighboring brigades.

Now the occupiers are increasing the use of aviation, MLRS and long-range artillery. The enemy is trying to regain what was lost. But the Third Assault Guard holds the line!

We will remind

Earlier, the 3rd OSHBR announced that their fighters had carried out successful offensive actions in the Kharkiv region. The deputy brigade commander reported "good news" and confirmed the success of the operation in their area of ​​responsibility.
