206 Russian vehicles are destroyed by a Ukrainian squad in an outnumbered conflict with Putin’s forces.

During a fierce combat in the Donetsk area, a vastly outnumbered squad of Ukrainian paratroopers destroyed more than 200 Russian armoured vehicles in a single day.

Twenty miles west of Donetsk city, the town of Illinka is under attack by Russia’s 20th Motor Rifle Division.

Their goal is to force the Ukrainian army out of the area so they have a clear path to Kurakhove.

The city is a key location for Kyiv’s defence of the southern Donetsk area and serves as a Ukrainian garrison.

There are up to 10,000 personnel in Russia’s 20th Motor Rifle Division.

About 2,000 soldiers from the 79th Air Assault Brigade protect the garrison city against the Russian assault.

As they make a valiant effort to stave off the Russian assault, the paratroopers are under tremendous strain.

Under the call sign Kriegsforscher, a Ukrainian drone operator reported that “the situation is close to critical” and that the brigade “is under a massive enemy push” that started around 21 days ago.

The paras dealt the Russian division horrendous casualties in spite of being vastly outnumbered and outgunned.

Analyst Andrew Perpetua tallied an astounding 206 Russian automobiles that were damaged, destroyed, or abandoned on Saturday.

In contrast, the combat analyst said the Ukrainians only lost 49 vehicles.

But in order to continue their remorseless assault, the Russians seem prepared to sacrifice as many soldiers and vehicles as needed.

The Ukrainian army is in a panic as a result of Putin’s generals’ new tactic, which combines their vast military and personnel advantages.

Stanislav Aseyev, a Ukrainian journalist, clarified: “The Russians are still able to effectively employ the ‘bag’ tactics, evading our fortifications on three sides and leaving a small ‘throat’ for escape.

As a result, encirclement fear frequently breaks out, even in combat-ready divisions, and troops evacuate.

General Oleksandr Syrskyi, the head of Ukraine’s army, admitted on Sunday that the situation on the front lines was dire and that his forces were halting “the most powerful offensives” since Moscow’s 2022 invasion began.
