Russian forces have captured 40% of the strategic town of Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region, according to Andriy Polukhin, 24th Separate Mechanized Brigade spokesperson.
Polukhin said that Russian troops have gained control over a “portion of the town stretching up to the canal”, after their assault has left the town heavily damaged.
The capture of Chasiv Yar could grant the Russian troops some “tactical advantage” of the higher ground overseeing the nearby towns of Kostiantynivka, Druzhkivka, and Kramatorsk, as well as the key logistical routes connecting them.
Polukhin also noted that brutal bombardments makes Chasiv Yar look like Bakhmut and Avdiivka, because the town has almost been reduced to rubble.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
