Ukrainian defenders of the 425th Assault Battalion, with the support of mortars, drones and an American-made M-2 Bradley fighting vehicle, successfully eliminated the significantly superior enemy forces near Pokrovsk. The skirmish became an example of coordinated actions and high professionalism of the Ukrainian military.
The incident began when three soldiers of the 425th battalion spotted three Russian invaders moving along the road. Thanks to covert observation, the Ukrainian military had a tactical advantage. After successfully using a grenade and accurate shooting, they eliminated two enemies and forced the third to surrender.
The situation quickly escalated: another group of Russian soldiers, numbering about 15 people, started moving along the same road. Ukrainian drones continued monitoring, transmitting the exact coordinates of the enemy. As soon as the group got closer, mortars and drone operators opened fire, inflicting significant losses on the Russian assault group. The group was completely destroyed.
The M-2 Bradley, which played a decisive role in eliminating the remnants of the enemy and providing fire support, came to the aid of the Ukrainian fighters. The car also allegedly dropped the first three Ukrainian fighters who started the ambush.
The operation ended with the detonation of the bridge by sappers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which made it impossible for Russian forces to approach Pokrovsk. Thanks to this maneuver, two more enemy assault groups that tried to break through to the positions of the Ukrainian military were destroyed.
This successful operation was another evidence of the high level of combat training, equipment and effective coordination of the Ukrainian military.
