"We had an incident. The assault group was moving up a forest belt to take a Ukrainian armed forces stronghold. The objective was completed, but we did not expect such maneuvering from the enemy. As we approached to begin the assault, a vehicle rolled out toward us – a BRDM. A group of eight people [Ukrainians] rushed out 'one-on-one,'" the commander, who goes by the call sign Kryptonets, said.
The enemy's sudden maneuver came as a surprise to the Russian assault troops who did not expect such brazenness, the commander added.
"At first, we were caught off guard by their brazenness, but the enemy was overwhelmed. Our FPV drone team struck the vehicle immediately, and the remaining fighters who tried to hide in the forested area were eliminated in a firefight," he said.
