The operation was carried out by the SBU’s 13th Directorate together with the Ukrainian Navy. Both vessels sustained critical damage and were taken out of service.
Moments from the latest shelling of Chornobaivka with the BM-27 “Uragan” are now being published by Russian sources. The enemy is sharing these clips as propaganda, showing the aftermath of the strike and attempting to boast about their attacks.
This video shows how the unmanned aviation crews of the 20th Rapid Response Brigade “Liubart” of the 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine “Azov”, together with neighboring units, are holding back Russian forces on the Pokrovsk axis.Using reconnaissance and strike drones, the crews detect enemy movements, adjust fire, disrupt assaults and help the infantry keep defensive lines under constant pressure.
While the enemy throws tanks, armor and bikes into battle, our FPV and bomber drone operators precisely and relentlessly destroy anything that moves.The assault is stopped, the equipment — eliminated.
The tank crew and their commander, callsign “Chudik,” bravely went on a combat mission.
During an operation near Pokrovsk, their Leopard 2A4 from the 155th Brigade engaged an enemy sabotage group and saved Ukrainian infantry. On the way back, they came under over 26 FPV drone strikes, but the tank held — the crew survived.
“Pokrovsk is extremely dangerous. Infantry can only move on foot,” says Chudik.
“We hit enemy troops hiding in a building and covered our infantry. Then we learned a drone was tracking us.”
“I decided to confuse the enemy and drive around Pokrovsk. They still found us — one FPV after another. The gearbox was damaged, but we managed to restart.”
“Russians claimed we were destroyed or captured — but we’re alive. That was only round one.”
This story is a powerful testament to the courage and resilience of Ukrainian defenders on the Pokrovsk front.
