Ukrainian Paratroopers Defeat Russian Attack Aircraft in Trench Battle
The Russian invaders were able to break into the trenches of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near the village of Klishchiivka south of Bakhmut, which was liberated last fall. However, our paratroopers destroyed all enemy attack aircraft.
And their “support group” (probably meaning armored vehicles) was destroyed by our artillery and “additional means of destruction” (perhaps kamikaze drones?).
This was reported by Stanislav Bunyatov (Osman), a blogger and fighter of the 24th separate assault battalion “Aidar” of the 5th OS of the Armed Forces brigade, which is fighting in the Bakhmut direction, in his Telegram channel “Sniper Speaks”.
In turn, the commander of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrsky, wrote in Telegram about the heavy fighting in the Kupyansk direction, and also that in the Bakhmut region, the enemy is making efforts to cross the line of the Siverskyi Donets – Donbas canal.
“From the north of Bakhmut, the enemy is carrying out assaults in the direction of Bohdanivka, with the involvement of units of the “volunteer corps”. It is trying to create favorable conditions for the offensive on Chasiv Yar and to restore the lost position in the areas of the cascade of lakes east of Klishchiivka and Kurdyumivka, for which it involves units of the airborne troops and motorized rifle units from the Northern Fleet,” added the commander of the Ground Forces.
According to him, despite the large-scale offensive actions of the enemy, Ukrainian soldiers are firmly holding the defensive lines in all directions and inflicting significant losses on the enemy.
