A video has appeared of a cunning attack by Russian paratroopers on the “opornik” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces

Ministry of Defense: Ivanovo paratroopers occupied a Ukrainian Armed Forces stronghold near Artemovsk

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported on its Telegram channel that Ivanovo paratroopers occupied a stronghold of Ukrainian troops northwest of Artemovsk (Ukrainian name Bakhmut). Thus, Russian units improved their position along the front line.

At the same time, as noted in the statement, the assault groups of paratroopers used a diversionary maneuver, which helped them overcome enemy resistance. The published video shows how Russian fighters approached the Ukrainian Armed Forces stronghold from different directions. They then launched an attack from one flank, and when the Ukrainian soldiers turned their attention to this group of attackers, the second group bombarded the enemy dugout with hand fragmentation grenades and completed the task.

The footage captured how explosions were heard in different parts of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ fortifications dug into the ground.

The Russian Ministry of Defense emphasized that “Russian paratroopers occupied a stronghold of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, destroying up to a squad of enemy infantry there.”
