The Defense Intelligence's elite formation, known as the Timur special unit, has successfully halted russian advance in the Sumy sector, conducting a bold raid deep into enemy territory. According to an official statement, Ukrainian operatives carried out a coordinated special operation that not only blocked the enemy's progress but also disrupted their supply lines.
The unit infiltrated russian rear, cleared enemy positions, and secured strategic ground. This prevented the delivery of ammunition and food to russian troops operating in the area. Ukrainian forces have effectively cut off logistical support to the enemy group, creating a critical gap in their operational capability in the region.

Radio intercepts revealed that russian soldiers were demoralized and reluctant to follow orders. Some reportedly refused to launch further assaults in the area controlled by the Timur unit, citing various excuses. The psychological pressure and combat effectiveness of Ukraine's special forces continue to play a key role in degrading russian morale.
Footage released from the operation captures intense moments of combat: rapid raids behind enemy lines, precise artillery and grenade launcher fire, and the elimination of enemy troops using FPV drones and close-quarters small arms engagements. The video offers a rare and vivid glimpse into the professionalism and coordination of Ukraine's reconnaissance units.
Enemy losses from the operation are reported to be severe, at least 334 russian troops were killed, with more than 550 wounded. These figures underscore the devastating impact of the multi-unit operation and its success in neutralizing a significant number of enemy personnel.
The special operation involved several elite subunits within the Timur formation: Khymera, Yunрer, Stugna, Sibir Battalion, Aratta, 1514, Paragon, Art Division, First Line, Raven Group, and the 6th Special Operations Detachment. Their collective efforts demonstrate a high level of interoperability and coordination under the command of the Defense Intelligence.
As Defense Express previously reported, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine is actively integrating artificial intelligence into its operational framework, according to General Lieutenant Kyrylo Budanov, head of the agency. In a recent statement, Kyrylo Budanov emphasized the transformative effect modern technologies are having on intelligence work amid ongoing full-scale war with russia.
