  1. Posted on the ua_regteam Telegram channel:

    “The UA REG Team fighters conducted an operation that resulted in the destruction of a platoon of marines and their equipment (2-BTR-82a were destroyed and one was damaged).
    Previously, the fighters had restored the previously lost position. Using the prisoners, they played a radio game in which they reported on the continuation of duty and the expectation of the promised reinforcements. The next day, the enemy sent reinforcements in the amount of 20 people in 3 APCs. Unexpectedly, the absence of the “reds” in the position, the enemy began to safely turn around near the shelters to rush the infantry. However, the UA REG began to hand out [tickets to Kobzon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kobzon#%22Going_to_a_Kobzon_concert%22), and the equipment was met with AT-4s. Those who tried to escape were destroyed by a sniper #single____shot.” (Google Translate)

  2. that sniper picking off the survivors was a huge middlefinger to the russians

  4. Is that sniper video from the same event? Almost certain I saw that same clip a week or so ago

  7. Imagine being the captured guy who called it in… living with that guilt for most people would be worse than death.

  8. Without doubt the Ukranians are a more profesional combat force.
