this is probably the person who can destroy fear in himself. ivan, the company commander of the mechanized battalion. every person has fear, but at a certain moment it must be rejected for the sake of one's life. everything is charging, we are leaving for the weekend. bravo. what is the matter: the counterattack is repulsed, to carry out a tactical retreat in a more prepared position, a warrior, as they say , well, yes, you are not born, you become one, everyone should take it to heart that if not me, then who, i once in the 14th year i went to fight, then i said that they were not my children, well, it turned out so that now my children are also fighting, on february 24 the brigade met. in the east, the second mechanized

and motorized infantry battalion continued to defend the svyatodar arc. units of the 1st and 3rd mechanized battalions have occupied the horliv direction since march. that night , a decision was made to withdraw from the attack all command posts, areas where units are located, and move them to other areas. that is, the first attack of the enemy came on empty positions and the district was not occupied by anyone. when the enemy began to advance. in the morning i was resting then, but i woke up from that he heard the coming of hail. andriy, the battery commander of the artillery division, was awarded the order of bohdan khmelnytskyi , third degree. the commanders were given an order for the batteries to take up firing positions and begin to cover the actions of our infantry, to carry out offensives. and we switched to the defense of the inhabited planork. it was somewhere on march 15 or 16. the uav operator tells us that he saw three columns of equipment opposite the upper one. one column of 40 units of bmp equipment and

tanks, the second column of 30 units of bmp and tanks and the third column of 10 tanks equipped and we started the artillery immediately dispersed them from there, we dispersed them there once, they gathered with us and dispersed them a second time, and then they went to the south and they sold there, for example, a consolidated base, so he can get there 30-40 bmp and 30-40 tanks, this is about... establishment. and that's why they broke through there, yes, and such active actions began there. and we constantly helped the neighbor on the right, covering there with everything we could. at the same time, fierce battles of a separate tank company continued in the severo-donetsk region. at first , it was already after the concussion that a taxi. in tanks

their hands were already shaking a little, but nothing, after that, they still left, still shot, still came under artillery fire. kostyantyn, deputy chief of staff of the tank battalion, was awarded the order of bohdan khmelnytskyi, third degree. in what period was it? what period? it was already somewhere closer to march. it was cold, there was already a little snow, it fell, it was cold, and then the task was to destroy two bmps. narad, turtle. ready for action, we were already ready, we saw one bmp on the right, saw another on the left, the distance was very small, because in a straight line they fired a shot, there was a distance of 100-200 meters somewhere, we destroyed the right, the left, they did, it was so unexpected for me, because the first shot and the bmp were gone, it was like a salute.

it was scary at first, and then it was like adrenaline, let's go further, and then there began one run, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, then we destroyed nine bmps with one dance and many people in the formation, and we breathed a sigh of relief and on march 21, very early, the team received notice that they had to leave. because a very large convoy is coming, we left, we can hear above the tower, yes, just phew, something flew by, already the first rpg, or whatever, that’s all, come on, damn it, make a report on us, they are already shooting at us, we can’t hear it, there are battles, helicopters are flying, aviation is flying, so two tanks leave, one becomes , no, well, two stand up, but from one the crew runs into the forest, and the other one just turns on us, and i hear such a blow in the head... and that’s it, i

just switched off, i came to my senses, i see everything black, i sit , i wipe myself, the first words i say are still alive, even alive and like that right away , you don’t have teeth at all, i’m like that he rubbed himself like that, that’s it, that’s all, and then on the second arrival, we started burning from above, i immediately let’s climb out to open the hatch, but the hatch was stuck to me, i hear everything burning from above, the mechanic says, i thought you were 200, everyone says, i heard your voice, it’s so easy for me became the most memorable battles, these were when we were still at the beginning of the war, it was in the month of may, we were standing near turetsk, when on one of the days the enemy tried to advance with two tanks and manpower of the infantry, a decisive offensive of two tanks and under the cover of artillery ,

came close to our strongholds, only when we discovered them, they began to open fire, the artillery destroyed the manpower. how old are you? i am currently 23 years old. i know that the president signed a decree

to award you with the order of bohdan khmelnytskyi? yes, it was awarded for, well, i knew that we were in the garden in the month of may, it was precisely the battles that were fierce. tough in the turkish direction, on one of the days the enemy tried to advance and gathered some of the landings up to 100 personnel, we quickly discovered the enemy and inflicted angular damage, i.e., from that landing, the occupiers were able to leave only 3 times, only left. then, on may 8, on may 8, the enemy decided to storm our positions, and here they

started to go straight to our positions, to the price positions, and just a bunch of people started to run out from the positions, well, there was such a ravine from the ravine, they started running just after the tanks . our guys there, well, they managed just perfectly there, they destroyed those two tanks, took three prisoners, there are a bunch of two hundred people there in front positions, there were 30 men there, just lying there, 12 men stopped two tanks there, well, two tanks, two bmps and up to 60 personnel, and we quite successfully completed the task in the very settlement of new york, our battalion, you can say... from the month of march to the end of june, and what we did there, we passed the law to fill 95%. you have to look really, if we launched the enemy inside the population of new york, we would lose, well, no one knows how much we lost, but i know for sure,

that we would have lost more than half a battalion there, because both in the settlement are very difficult, everyone just effectively fulfilled their duties. and the third company there repelled only assaults, and the second company there in general created such conditions that they only tried to get out there somewhere, they immediately shot them there from the terekons, and the first company, which the aviation there simply fired at twice a day, here you are you see, we had such a position there, where the guys just threw grenades to go to the toilet and the machine gunner started shooting, because they needed to flash was this area to go to the toilet and they threw dems again to return, that was the conditions, the most pleasant thing was that when i was given two anti-tank guns, and we were already leaving the district, i asked them there, well, guys, how are things there, well there, and they

say, this was cool, well, like, we remembered it for the rest of our lives, and like, the infantry is also cool. there are discounts on aquamaris of 15% in pharmacies, plantain for you and savings, hello woman, what to do when there is a liver, you need alohol. take, but what for bile? alohol, he and the liver and bile protects natural components of alochol contribute to the normalization of liver and gall bladder. hello hol with care and respect for the liver and gallbladder. new york of the 19th century is luxury, scandals and intrigues. gilded age from hbo. watch all seasons of the exquisite drama in ukrainian with a subscription. turn on the aristocratic namego. there are discounts on fkalor 20% in pharmacies. travel guide to you and savings. everyday life is now full of stress and anxiety.

, new york city, upstate new york, we were bombarded, er, starting with phosphorus, let's say phosphorus, that was the best we got back then. a soldier with the call sign tarzan, an anti-tank gunner, joined the brigade at the beginning of a full-scale invasion. we lived in a two-story brick house, when we moved into it, it was ... completely intact, when we left it, there was only half a cellar, that is , everything above us was wiped off the face of the earth, and that's it then, but then everything was perceived as if today, it is necessary, that is, i am ready, because you know, many here and now who are at war have such a perception of life that we will die anyway, one day we will die anyway , why should we be afraid of that, but we must do as much as possible . .. what we can do is the installation itself is a missile and a launcher, that is

, we have a missile, we have two types of missiles at the moment, these are c-class missiles, fgm 148c, missiles with a range of up to 2500 km, oh, up to 2.5 m, this would be cool, yes, and fgm 148e, these are missiles with a range of up to 4 km. usually zhaviki go in pairs, but it is possible cope alone. this eye of the rocket itself is very beautiful, it sees almost the same thing. a person, but much better, and this little girl is ready for battle, enemy equipment can be destroyed, at

the same time, russian troops tried to break through the siverskyi donets river, which is not far from the village of dronivka, and created three bridgeheads for us there. on our side, their crossing was repulsed by only two tanks and a small amount of artillery, we were in such a desperate situation, the tank did not work, it did not go forward or back, the second tank also stalled and could not do anything, and we just sat in the tank was hitting us with artillery, konstantin, the company commander of the tank battalion, joined the brigade in 2020, i was already sitting in the tank, took off the mask and said, like , that's it, we'll stay here. we had no hope, we calculated the time when the projectile arrives, well, between the exit and arrival, or between arrivals, 10-15 seconds were needed to throw combat vehicles and remove shelter in the nearby landing, and there was also a peculiarity, because if you had to communicate with your

crew, that is, everyone was silent, everyone was in fathers, as well as the neighboring tank, they were sitting. they were very frightened, i could see their eyes when i tried somehow to empty the tank to see what their condition was, how to cheer them up, that is, i had constant contact, i talked with them, if i gave them hope that now we will run, evacuate and everything will be fine, what thought did you hold on to that gave you the strength not to lose your mind and to support others, well, this is such a very difficult question, because i motivated myself so that... except for me, no one to me won't help, that is i had to take everything into my own hands and arrange everything, that is, evacuation, relocation, that is, and i could not show my weakness in front of the personnel, because it would be much worse for them, they always look at the commander, and the commander must support the people, adjust, and

the next day we managed to destroy somewhere around two... or three units of military equipment, plus we destroyed a boat that performed the task of stabilizing these fontono- moscow crossings, directly on the rivers, and under by the end of the next day, the enemy had exhausted all his attempts to force the cricket, and that was the end of the story. the enemy's next attempt was a few days later, it was already well-known... the crossing at beilohorivka, there the enemy already used much more military equipment and manpower, well, it was already the second attempt, few people know about the first attempt in the village of dronivka, it little known, because there were much fewer units of ours to cut off and destroy

that spice. after the battles in donetsk region and a short recovery. the brigade was transferred to raisin direction, which was very hot in the summer. well, there were tank battles, up to 10 tanks in different landings simply drove out and fired directly at our positions. and we destroyed quite a lot of tanks there, which i really didn't expect, again, right? i'm there somewhere. nine or 10 tanks, well, these are t-70 and 90 night tanks, shot! come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, here he is, here he is, here he is, my best work, i consider it the best, it is a heavy

russian t-90 tank in the direction of kharkiv, they have very few of them, they cost a lot, and... there were very few of them in ukraine, and i burned one of them, and what is special about this tank? he has very strong armor, he has very strong protection against anti-tank weapons, and well, he is considered almost invulnerable, i did not burn him, i inflicted critical damage on him, but well, there was no explosion as such, it was on this tank, as i was told later , 11 rpgs were released, that is, they failed. destroy with conventional manual anti-tank weapons, we were called on the alarm, we saw him, it was it was very hot, the temperature was very high, and then he already worked on our positions by... he returned back, took the infantry with him, and with the infantry he was supposed to lead this infantry already to our positions, that is, they were supposed to storm our positions, and when i , when i hit him, all this

infantry was blown away by the wind, they flowed, of course without the support of equipment, they didn't go anywhere and that's all, that is, the offensive was choked, so i'm a hero. well, yes, yes, there were guys from the tank division, and our guys did tricks, they didn’t go out, there weren’t so many components enemy infantry, how many tanks there were, and what did you do to him? artillery is not sniper? gentovka, you see, it doesn't hit right there in the meter where you have to get, and you will get 5 m from the tank, well, it doesn't matter, and we

just destroyed them there with pturs, javelins, we made ambushes, let them get closer and then they shot down the goose, well, again , the infantry did all the work, please. at the end of august 2022, the brigade received a combat mission to carry out offensive actions in the direction of the city of izyum, this is how it began legendary counterattack. the task of the brigade was children in the southern suburbs of the city, i heard the command that all the vehicles should be seen at the firing position, fully loaded

with ammunition, provisions, fuel and be ready to work on the targets, when we moved to the position in the morning, aimed at the targets, we opened massive fire on the enemy , our infantry vehicles started the offensive, i already understood that... we are starting to move forward, by the end of the day we have changed the firing position, we have moved closer, that is, i have already after that i realized that ours were able to advance in this direction, and the last , the last target i received was an enemy column that was already trying to escape from a large kamesuvakhi, that is, we opened fire on it, did not let them go out, some of them still broke through, but most of it remained there together with the equipment. after that, we already entered the settlements, saw for ourselves

what the occupying forces of the so-called russian federation had done. no one really expected that they would leave the place, well, no one even told us about it, what is being prepared there, yes, it was proven right at the last moment, at the last moment, these are the measures that were introduced by avaman's opponent, everyone spoke for kherson, but the whole thing went down, and everything is very banally simple. the enemy did not expect that, conditions were not created where the enemy could predict that it would be an offensive, because it was not an accumulation there, a direct accumulation of forces

behind, but simply the guys regrouped and went in a rush and began to break through in all directions, and there were cases, where the battalions were traveling and saw how their artillery was deployed, well, the artillery thought that we somewhere there is still ahead. and we were already close by and shooting at the artillery, visually seeing how it was being deployed, the attack was not ready, the enemy was simply throwing everything, there was equipment, positions, they simply ran away, because... their north broke through them, and they understood that they would now be surrounded, and they simply dropped everything and ran away,

but he did, but the key. the main task is to hold back, because if we had not held back, the enemy would have carried out these offensive actions and such opportunities would not have been created when we could counterattack. i have already heard from your fellow brits that it is very important for infantrymen to set foot on the land they are liberating, do you remember those feelings when you first found yourself in the de-occupied territories, yes , of course, the first place i went to when we have already returned from izyum, because we stopped in izyum, traveled through these de-occupied cities , talked with people, ruslan kot,

company commander... to the brigade after the full-scale invasion, when we returned to the place where we fought, namely to the territory where was the demarcation line, where theirs was, where we were, we always returned there, looked at what tanks we burned, what equipment we hit, this one, where their territories were, maybe we did something wrong, well, we had to draw some conclusions for ourselves , it was very fulfilling for me that we actually returned to the places where we were. heavy battles, namely , this is their first line, well, we also made a significant contribution to this offensive, sometimes, well, to say the pride, well, there is such pride, that it was precisely in this offensive that we took part, because it was he who went down in history, when an offensive is not usually carried out by superior forces, and we were

able to dislodge the enemy, defeated and after that we received a large number of trophies, what we received from the trophies is a large the amount of ammunition , 152 caliber, which is scarce for us, we were able to effectively get and use all of them, i.e. back at the enemy already in bakhmetsk in the direction we fired the so-called so-called lendlease at them, i.e. it was twice as pleasant to work with them, we with... found two t-72 tanks, the newest tanks of the armed forces of the russian federation, and plus other units of our battalion also found military equipment, we equipped a tank company with t-80 tanks, and in each tank company there was a our tank reserve, we had two or three units of t-72,

which has... the newest weapons have thermal imaging devices that help when firing at night, we use this to this day, that is, tanks go out at night too, we will inflict damage to the enemy, we somehow do it to us helped after the counteroffensive, in september 22, the brigade made a 150-kilometer march from barvinkovo ​​to the city of bakhmut to perform tasks in this direction. when i led the brigade, the brigade behind... had a strip south of the outskirts of bakhmut, that is , it was on the defensive, and against us was the opponent of the wagner pmc, that is, it was very difficult, because they carried out assault operations both during the day and at night, they chose the tactics of night actions, or during very bad weather, when,

let's say, we could not apply in full... volume up your aerial reconnaissance equipment, the work was in groups of 10-15 people, the task was to reach the trench at any cost, they were not counted as losses, let's say, the assaults went avalanche after avalanche, that is, there was no one, there were no personnel of the armed forces of ukraine was able to rest, after the end of one assault, it immediately began. an assault by another group, a flood of prisoners there, they had problems with personnel, let's say , the special contingent did not have as much as they needed , they lost 100 people in a day, the following morning they brought 100 people.
