⚡️ Two paratroopers of the 79th captured 14 occupiers: the impressive story of one assault

The assault group of the 79th ODShBr approaches one of the Russian positions. Before that, the pilots of the strike drones successfully practiced on the enemy - after an intensive and prolonged raid, the occupiers are crammed into a tight dugout and do not poke their nose out of cover.

In this way, two paratroopers from the 79th manage to achieve absolute surprise — they throw grenades right at the entrance to the enemy dugout.

The frightened occupiers immediately threw down their weapons and raised their hands. By that time, as it turned out, there were as many as 14 occupiers in the position. They chose life over death — and our paratroopers did not refuse them.

In unique night drone footage, we see two of our paratroopers actually leading Russian soldiers into captivity in formation. Brilliant and heroic work.

For details of this operation and the testimonies of the prisoners themselves, see the video.

    Not gonna lie, as 2 people I’d be a bit afraid trying to control 14 people even if they were behaving.

    Get close enough to their captors and drones can’t attack or risk friendly fire. 14 even restrained people might be able to overwhelm 2 people, but they’d suffer heavy casualties.

      They did it right though. The 14 were all walking in front in a line unarmed. Two guys with automatic weapons can kill 14 unarmed people very quickly if any one of them tries anything. One or two might get away if they tried to run. But I don’t think they have a chance of overwhelming the two. Also they had drone support.

      Paratroopers are special forces, no ? My bet would be on the 2 paratroopers vs the 14 Russian regulars. Special forces train every day for all sorts of combat scenarios and they work out more than the average soldier. If you’ve seen a bar fight with a SF soldier in it, you’d see how irrelevant it is that they’re 14 up close.
