The Russians had high quality equipment, were in uniform and had assault rifles with optical sights and silencers, plenty of ammunition and were ready to fight. The news source points to the detail that one of the dead, wounded in the leg, was able to put on a quality tourniquet – this group had modern first aid kits – not the Esmarch “battles” that the Russians issue to their regular “disposable” infantry.
“Finding a diversionary group in a dense forest when there is no front line is like finding a needle in a haystack, and destroying a group in such conditions is a display of extraordinary abilities,” the news source wrote.
The battle between the groups took place at a short distance, in a dense forest, and help could not quickly reach the Ukrainians. The high level of training of firearms, the correct tactics and, above all, the character of the Ukrainian soldiers, who resolutely went forward and acted as a team, determined everything.
During the battle, Russian soldiers tried to provide fire support to the saboteurs. The Russian saboteur group “Senezh” was supported by several drones and an artillery battery operating from the Bryansk region.
However, units of the Ukrainian command post “Sever” responded with several precision strikes on positions in Russian territory, the occupiers suffered losses and the Russian artillery was suppressed, and one gun was damaged.
During the battle, two Russian majors, two captains and one senior lieutenant were killed on the spot, another wounded Russian tried to escape but bled to death.
According to Russian sources, the destroyed group consisted only of officers, two of whom were majors, two captains and one senior lieutenant. The rank and name of the sixth officer are being clarified.
“Senezh” is the elite of the Russian army, the best of the best, collected after careful selection, it says censor.net
The Russians were destroyed by a Ukrainian intelligence group made up of volunteers who were mobilized in 2022. and received high quality training. This is not the first battle between a Ukrainian intelligence group and Russian saboteurs.
Russian special forces are publishing videos that show how their groups operate in the border areas of Ukraine. Their groups have been encountered before – and the occupiers suffered losses. However, on July 28 it was the first time such a group had been destroyed in its entirety.
