  1. Original post text from UA 28th Brigade via DeepL autotranslate:

    >A tank in a ditch, a drone battle and destroyed infantry – the Knights are fighting the enemy near Toretsk.

    >The invaders continue to use the tactic of armored “sheds” packed with infantry, but the 28th Brigade is actively resisting this.

    >When the pilots of the R.V., BBpS, Kurt & Company, units of the 28th Brigade, as well as the Phoenix UAVs, began to hit another convoy, the enemy began to maneuver in smoke screens. But he overdid it a little too much, and one tank fell into a ditch and got stuck. [URLs removed above – see note]

    >The infantry, who were again left without equipment and scattered, began to call for help. But they were unsuccessful even here: the operators of Kurt & Company had interrupted the enemy drones’ communication antennas. Some even tried to fight back with a Mavic, but to no avail.

    Original post text:

    >Танк в канаві, бій дронів і знищена піхота – лицарі бʼють ворога під Торецьком.

    >Окупанти продовжують використовувати тактику набитих піхотою броньованих «сараїв», але 28-й ОМБр активно цьому протистоїть.

    >Коли чергову колону почали бити пілоти підрозділів R.V., ББпС, “Kurt&Company”, 28-Ї бригади, а також РУБпАк “Фенікс” – ворог почав терміново маневрувати у димових завісах. Але “трішки” з цим перестарався, через що один танк випав в канаву і застряг.

    >Піхота, яка знову лишилась без техніки і розбіглась хто-куди, стала кликати на допомогу. Але й тут їх спіткала невдача – оператори “Kurt&Company” перебили ворожим дронщикам антени зв’язку. Одні навіть намагались відбитись “мавіком”, але безуспішно.

    Note: Original post contains URLs for the above listed groups. Most of us know “Kurt and Company” [(link to most recent post from them)](https://www.reddit.com/r/DroneCombat/comments/1jdj5dk/ukraines_28th_mechanized_brigade_kurt_and_company/), but one of the groups mentioned above was new to me. Links are on Telegram on the ombr_28 channel.

    ETA: It’s another big footage day today, if anyone wants to help post. Interesting stuff from “Ivan Franko”, NGU “Rubizh”, 81st Brig. “SowaFM”, 79th Air Assault Brigade, “Wild Division”, “Ci4 Team” (long backlog unseen here), 67th Brig., NGU “Peaky Blinders”, etc., etc. With the four-posts-per-day limit here, most isn’t seen.
