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🧵 Image
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 Image

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

Image
Two BMP-3 from 155 brigade after failed attack: Image

A combination of destroyed BMPs: Image

More BMPs. Two BMP-3 were, again, from the 155 infamous marine brigade: Image
Image
Image
Image
The first two BMPs are new: Image

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

Destroyed and abandoned BMPs and MTLB: Image

1) two destroyed MTLBs and abandoned BMP-1;

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: Image

Destroyed lonely standing MTLBs.

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

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

1) old but gold: 4 MTLBs and BTR-50;
2) damaged and abandoned BMP-1 and T-62M;
3-4) destroyed MTLBs Image
Image
Image
Image
More destroyed MTLBs: Image
Image
Image
Image
Just more MTLBs. Not surprised they just gone from the storage bases: Image
Image
Image
Image
Well… Image
Image
Image
Image
Seems like that some Russian general is a big fan of MTLBs: Image
Image
Image
Image
And more.

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

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

A little bit tired of the amount of MTLBs… Image

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🤝 Image

🧵 My personal thoughts as a soldier who took part in Kursk operation for four months.

Unusual thread for this page but with a purpose — to tell you more about Russian manoeuvres and assaults at the Western flank.

If U want to help us buy batteries🔽

I need to say that those things that U gonna read are personal experience and represents Russian actions at the Western (the hardest since November till December) flank.

I hope it will help future historians to write a decent research.
And yes. This thread is not about the problems the AFU faced, Koreans or anything else.

This one is quite «technical», I would say. Because if I would like to write more and in complex — this thread would be close to a word «endless».

❗️Russian bolsheviks from infamous 155 marine brigade with the help of 4 BTR-82A and 1 T-80BVM attacked our positions in Kursk oblast.

All the vehicles were stopped and destroyed. Need to say, that every time AFU strikes RUAF command posts in Kursk oblast I…🧵
I sincerely hope that we won’t strike 155 marine brigade command posts.

These sleeping agents from theirs command should awarded with the highest Ukrainian medals.

Russians from that brigade only capable of massively dying achieving barely anything.
Due to my modest estimates this brigade has lost since October 24 till February 25 a huge amount of AFV:

• 23 T-80BV/BVM;
• 31 BTR-82A;
• 43 BMP-3;
• 21 MTLB

Just a brigade. And they are fine with that. Putin loves them.

1/3

Today we were attacked by 9 BMD-2/4M. Only two of them managed to retreat.

With the help of mines my company stopped 2 BMD-2 and 1 BMD-4M (after that they were destroyed by FPV drones).

12.12.24 losses. 234 VDV regiment:

- 3 BMD-2;
- 4 BMD-4M;
- 1 IMR-2
👇
2/3

And it’s very funny to see how everyone thinks that FPV rules the way.

The rest of the column was stopped/destroyed by ATGMs. Only after that FPV drones started working.

In general, I see that approximately 10-15% of AFV were destroyed by FPV (I mean during the move).
3/3

Nevertheless, 10.12.24 was another attack by 237 VDV regiment.

Losses:
- 4 IMV;
- 1 BTR-D;
- 1 BMD-4M;
- 3 BMD-2

So for 2 days they have lost 12 AFV, 4 IMV and 1 IMR-2.
