Ukrainian troops are now repelling enemy attacks in the suburbs of Toretsk, according to Khortytsya Command spokesperson Nazar Voloshyn.
“The situation here hasn’t changed dramatically. The enemy is carrying out combat operations in the suburbs, while the centre of the city remains inactive.”
In recent weeks, Russian troops have stepped up their attempts to capture the city, which has been hit by air strikes, guided and unguided bombs.
Voloshyn admitted the situation is escalating, “Yesterday, the enemy carried out over 200 bombardments with various weapons, and 24 enemy offensives were launched near Pivnichne, New York, Toretsk and Deliyivka. ‘
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.
