A highly successful week of hunting for the pilots of the “Phoenix” border guard unit

As weather conditions deteriorated, the enemy stepped up activity somewhat across all sectors of the front entrusted to us. They likely hoped our pilots would be unprepared for the rain and fog. However, the adversary miscalculated, as the “Phoenix” pilots are true professionals in their field—and they secured some remarkable trophies as a result.

Specifically, a “Pion” self-propelled artillery system was destroyed in the Dobropillia sector, while an enemy BMP-2 was taken out in the Lyman sector.

However, the Toretsk sector proved to be the most successful in terms of targets destroyed: pilots from the “Phoenix” unit eliminated several enemy artillery pieces, two BMP-2s, and two BM-21 “Grad” systems!

Naturally, strikes were carried out across all sectors against both enemy manpower and logistics routes. This is evidenced, in particular, by the fact that we set two internal unit records within a single week for the number of occupiers eliminated!
