The Third Assault Brigade is advancing in the Kharkiv region. As a result of counterattacks, the Ukrainian military took control of the battalion defense area of ​​the occupiers, enemy platoon and company strongholds and advanced almost two square kilometers deep into the front.

This was reported by the brigade commander, Colonel Andrey Biletsky. It is noted that the ratio of forces on the battlefield is 2.5 to 1 in favor of the enemy. Plus enemy support forces.

“The main objective of the operation was to disrupt the offensive potential of the 20th Army of the Russian Federation. At this moment, this objective has been accomplished,” Biletsky said.

According to him, in four days the enemy lost three hundred personnel, and a significant amount of equipment and weapons were destroyed or damaged.

“The uniqueness of the operation was that we attacked a superior enemy and won. Success depended on detailed planning, unconventional solutions, coordinated work of artillery, air defense, BPS and reconnaissance. But the heroes of the battlefield were tankers, sappers, scouts and, first of all, attack aircraft,” the brigade commander added.

Beletsky noted that the assault actions diverted the enemy’s attack in the direction of Makeyevka (Donetsk region) and relieved tension from other critical sections of the front in the areas of neighboring brigades.

“Now the occupiers are increasing the use of aviation, MLRS and long-range artillery. The enemy is trying to regain what was lost. But the Third Assault is holding the lines!” the brigade summed up the situation.

Let us recall that on the afternoon of August 22, the soldiers of the Third Assault Brigade showed the first footage of the attack on the Russian occupiers in the Kharkov region. On the battlefield – smoke, fire, explosions and shooting.

As OBOZ.UA reported earlier, the commander of the Terra unit in the 3rd separate assault brigade with the call sign “Abdullah” said that Russian terrorists 
continue to actively use guided aerial bombs at the front . In the Kharkov direction, the enemy drops guided aerial bombs with a warhead of up to 500 kg on the positions of Ukrainian troops. At present, the issue of countering enemy aerial bombs has not been resolved.
