It was later revealed that the trenches, dug with an excavator to a depth of two meters, were unsuitable for effective combat. Unaware of this, the russians eagerly entered the position, only to find themselves trapped.
Ukrainian forces targeted the enemy with grenade launchers and drones, while the soldiers also opened fire. In the end, only one russian managed to escape, while the remaining eight were eliminated.
"The story of the soldiers with the balls of steel who held the defense near Pokrovsk. They showed ingenuity and took the initiative in the battle, which allowed the fighters to extinguish an assault group of 8 orcs without losses (one escaped)," the unit commented on the video.
