One year ago the RUAF started their strategic offensive in Donetsk oblast (especially in Pokrovsk area)

If the battle for Avdiivka is well known a heroic defence of a small village that lasted for 6 months is not.

The 79 brigade still holds positions at this direction. Thread🧵

Ukrainian paratroopers showed how effective and heroic in the same time they can be.

For 6 months they destroyed 300 armed vehicles. And I am going to show part of them.

Two undocumented BMP-3 losses:

1) 155 marine brigade;
2) 10 tank regiment

Two more destroyed BMP-3 from the 10th tank regiment:

Two BMP-3 from 155 brigade after failed attack:

A combination of destroyed BMPs:

More BMPs. Two BMP-3 were, again, from the 155 infamous marine brigade:

The first two BMPs are new:

1) wrecks of destroyed BMP-1 and MTLB;
2) two destroyed T-80BV;
3) destroyed BMP-1(?);
4) heavily damaged and abandoned BMP-1

Destroyed and abandoned BMPs and MTLB:

1) two destroyed MTLBs and abandoned BMP-1;
2) two abandoned MTLBs;
3) two destroyed MTLBs;
4) destroyed MTLB

08.01.24: three Russians MTLBs tried to attack UAF positions but were stopped by land mines and a couple of artillery shells.

Two MTLBs were destroyed:

Destroyed MTLB:

Destroyed lonely standing MTLBs.

Fog, wind, cold weather. Attack after attack. But UA paratroopers are holding positions. January 24:

1) destroyed BMP-1;
2) destroyed MTLB;
3) destroyed MTLB;
4) destroyed MTLB (right corner)

1) old but gold: 4 MTLBs and BTR-50;
2) damaged and abandoned BMP-1 and T-62M;
3-4) destroyed MTLBs

More destroyed MTLBs:

Just more MTLBs. Not surprised they just gone from the storage bases:

Well…

Seems like that some Russian general is a big fan of MTLBs:

And more.

1-2 was a very strange move. Maybe it was a kamikaze MTLB that found a land mine and got destroyed.

The last photo. He migh’ve thinking what he was doing somewhere in the field in Ukraine.

A little bit tired of the amount of MTLBs…

🫣

Two destroyed MTLBs. March 24 and December 23:

We want to ask you to help us. My company needs a powerful Jackery 1000 Pro and paratroopers need special cables for their drones.

Goal is 5500$:

Unfortunately, we have an anti-record. Managed to gather only 450$.

Nevertheless, I am very grateful everyone who still supports Ukraine, my company and different fundraising that I have here for different units🤝
