Near Niu York, Azov Brigade Destroys Attacking Russian Armor, Infantry

This appears to have been yet another Russian assault in another sector of the front with little hope of success, mounted to satisfy Kremlin demand for 'results' before the weather as well as ammunition and manpower shortages render such operations unsustainable. JL

Militarnyi reports:

The 12th Special Operations "Azov" Brigade, in cooperation with other units, destroyed attacking Russian armored vehicles and infantry using  attack drones, artillery systems, tanks and infantry while repelling incessant Russian attacks near the town of Niu York in the Toretsk sector near Donetsk. The Russians, including units of the 153rd Tank Regiment, suffered heavy losses in personnel and equipment in the continuing offensive. 

The Ukrainian Defense Forces are repelling incessant attacks by the Russian invaders in the Toretsk sector.

During combat operations, the soldiers of the 12th Special Operations Brigade “Azov” of the National Guard of Ukraine, in cooperation with other units, destroyed armored vehicles and infantry of the invaders near the town of New York.

 

It is noted that despite heavy losses, the Russian invaders had continued a large-scale offensive against the positions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces near the town of New York.

“The invaders continuously sent more and more forces to storm the fortifications of the 12th Special Operations Brigade “Azov” and related units,” the soldiers said.

 

The soldiers of the Azov Brigade have released a new video featuring moments of Russian infantry and equipment being defeated, as well as footage from the defenders’ positions.

According to the video, during the offensive, the Russians suffered heavy losses in personnel and equipment near the town of New York in the Donetsk region.

In September, the soldiers of the 12th “Azov” Special Forces Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine posed as the Russian scouts and captured three invaders.

As a result, two Russian military servicemen of the 2nd and 1st companies of the 153rd Tank Regiment, Valeriy Averin and Volodymyr Kolokolov, were captured.

 

The Ukrainian National Guard Special forces entered the Russians’ positions, convincing them that they were the Russian airborne scouts, and started a conversation, during which they even shared Snickers bars with the Russians. During the conversation, one of the Ukrainian soldiers revealed that he was, in fact, Ukrainian and calmly offered the Russians the chance to surrender, which they accepted.
