Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:

[ColonelCassad] The enemy claims that the 102nd Brigade's battalion headquarters in Hulyaipole was captured by just three Russian attack aircraft.

1. There were 17 officers from the 102nd Brigade at the command post.

2. Three Russian attack aircraft discovered the headquarters by the sound of a generator running.

3. The 17 officers at the headquarters offered no resistance and fled without even opening fire on the attack aircraft, despite being outnumbered.

4. The first Russian attack aircraft to enter the headquarters was without communication; it connected to an abandoned Starlink terminal using credentials posted on the wall and informed our command of the headquarters' capture.

5. During the escape, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost two men: the battalion chief of staff and the company commander. They plan to make them scapegoats for what happened.

I believe that three of our attack aircraft deserve the highest state awards for this feat. It is worth noting that the battalion's banner, a lot of undestroyed documentation, computers with databases, various secrets, communications equipment, and so on were captured at the headquarters.
