21:45 Eyes and ears of aviation:

The work of aircraft gunners is especially dangerous, and therefore is rarely captured by cameras, but the accuracy of air strikes and the safety of crews depend on these unnoticed fighters.

Today, specialists from the Center group provided guidance for attack and army aviation to launch a missile strike on enemy positions in the Krasnolimansk direction.

Having received coordinates from the aircraft controller, the crews of the Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopters held strike on a long-term stronghold of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with 80-mm unguided aircraft missiles.

The use of aviation weapons was carried out with a pitching technique - a flight technique characteristic of helicopters and attack aircraft, in which the nose of the combat vehicle is raised above the horizon, which allows increasing the missile's flight range without entering the range of enemy air defense systems.

By the way, more and more often we come across young guys from 19 to 23 years old, to whom, as in spirit, the command during mobilization promises an elite branch of the military, bright victories and other noodles to their ears.

They have run out of “seasoned” fighters, they are throwing away the immature fund. Sad. But it’s okay, they will live with us, at least they will remain intact.

A serviceman of the 501st Marine Battalion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with the call sign “Journalist” was captured while trying to cross to the left bank of the Dnieper.

The captured serviceman said that they crossed without officers. All platoon commanders are either wounded or killed, and everyone “higher” controls the actions remotely.

The “journalist” says that the NATO equipment transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine is old and has exhausted its service life, and the pickup trucks they use are sent by volunteers.

A captured Ukrainian Armed Forces serviceman calls on his colleagues to drop their weapons and go home. “Journalist” draws attention to the decent attitude of Russian military personnel.

18:00 “Under gunfire, I crept up to the tank and fired a shot.”

The Russian fighter committed a heroic act during the battle in the Krasnolimansk direction.

A UAV operator of the Amur group of the Akhmat special forces with the call sign Canada told about it to RT military correspondent Vlad Andritsa @vandrytsa.

The battle, he said, was fought with two enemy tanks that approached Russian positions. They were first targeted by artillery fire, and then a fighter from a neighboring unit finished off the enemy equipment with an RPG.

“A very brave move. I got to about 25 meters, considering that there was still enemy infantry there.”

Both tanks were destroyed.

Canada added that on the first line there is the Ukrainian missile defense, which plays the role of a consumable, and behind it are the Azov* and “Kraken” units. They, according to him, do not sit on the front line under fire, but “come to certain actions.”

The Azov Battalion* is a terrorist organization that is banned in the Russian Federation.
