Russian invaders in the Limansko-Borivskoye direction made the largest breakthrough attempt since the beginning of hostilities in this area. But the attacks were repelled, the Third Army Corps reported on Saturday, March 21.
It is indicated that the forces of the 1st Tank and 20th Combined Arms Armies of the Russian Federation had been preparing the offensive for a month and a half and attacked the corps' positions simultaneously in seven directions.
"The offensive involved over 500 infantrymen, 28 units of armored vehicles, and over 100 units of motorized vehicles - buggies and ATVs. However, the enemy began to suffer losses on the approaches to the line of combat contact. Within four hours, the Troika units completely stopped the offensive: what was supposed to be a rapid breakthrough turned into a large-scale failure for the Russians," the report says.
According to the corps, the enemy's losses in equipment amounted to 84 units of motorized vehicles, 11 infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, and three tanks. In addition, the Sontsepyoks TOC and five guns were hit, and over 160 enemy UAVs were destroyed.
During the day, the brigades and regiments of the corps destroyed 405 enemy soldiers: 288 were irretrievable, the rest were medical losses.
"The Russian army failed to capture any settlements or positions. The destruction of the remnants of the manpower that managed to survive in the Troika kill zone continues," the military added.
