Latest from @milchronicles. Elite units on both sides are now facing each other from Donetsk to Soledar, each side reinforced with units from Kherson. The Sparta, 11th and Somali battalions are noted.
The attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the northwestern approaches to Peski failed. This is the full video of the front-line battle,
. Five British Mastiff armored vehicles, with fire support from two T-64BVs, actively maneuvered along the forest plantation. Guided by the analysis of the previously conducted reconnaissance in force, the enemy intended to wedge into the first line of defense of the allied forces at the junction of the strongholds of the 11th regiment of the NM of the DPR and the Somalia battalion northwest of the private sector Pesok.
Their movement was recorded with the help of an optical-electronic reconnaissance drone, so it was not possible to realize the effect of operational surprise during the landing of troops in the trench chain.
The anti-tank crews of the Somalia battalion immediately worked out precise strikes against enemy mobile groups, and cannon artillery, the Grad MLRS and mortars of the 11th regiment of the DPR hit four pieces of equipment. To evacuate the enemy manpower, which was under fire from the defenders of Donbass, a lightly armored transporter MTLB was sent.
Also, units of the legendary Sparta battalion entered into fire contact with the infantry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Mastiff armored vehicles, which put the attackers to flight. They were forced to return to their original positions.
The Mi-28N attack helicopters of the Russian Aerospace Forces also contributed to stopping the enemy attack.
Thanks to the competent and well-coordinated actions of the Somali and Sparta battalions and the artillery of the 11th regiment of the NM DPR, the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered heavy losses.
