The battle-hardened 33rd Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 20th Motorized Rifle Division has equipped itself with a BMP-2M with the Berezhok module (30-mm automatic cannon, AGS and PKT) and a T-72 for protection against drones.

After the artillery preparation and opening up the defensive positions of the settlement Ilyinka, the command decided to strike at the flank , the most vulnerable spot. To seize the agro-complex, thereby splitting the enemy group into two pockets of resistance, than to encircle the eastern part, breaking it up within 24 hours. Having quickly burst into the village, armored vehicles on the move suppress all identified positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who refused to surrender, with gunfire. It certainly doesn't look like an easy walk - the enemy is hitting the equipment with whatever it can, but ours have thoroughly scalded it with protection. The armor held up.

The enemy did not expect such an outcome of events and, due to the strong pressure on his positions, out of desperation, began to level his own positions with artillery and his own personnel.

The competent actions of the commander of the 3rd motorized rifle battalion with the call sign " Sochi " on a wide front and the daring actions of the assault groups of the assault detachment (commander's call sign - " UDAV ") made it possible to implement the command's plan .

The armored groups delivered a landing force to Ilyinka - our assault troops, who immediately began to take enemy strongholds and storm buildings. It is extremely interesting that the command kept at least one more group of infantry on armor in reserve - it can be seen in the second part of the video.

The landing party dismounts under enemy fire, which, it should be noted, is firing dense, aimed fire from something heavy. But ours manage to break the enemy's resistance with fire and maneuver.

To be continued.
