This is the moment Ukrainian forces take out Russian war machines and infantry using artillery fire, anti-tank missile systems, mines and drones.
The footage shows a number of Russian military vehicles and troops being hit by Ukrainian ordnance as they attempt to advance.
The images obtained from the 779th Separate Amphibious Assault Tavri Brigade of Ukrainian Armed Forces on Tuesday, 27th February, along with a statement saying: “Paratroopers of the 79th Air Assault Brigade destroy enemy equipment near Novomykhailivka.
“The enemy keeps trying to capture Novomykhailivka.
“Active assault operations take place here every day. The enemy often uses armoured vehicles to bring infantry and also covers their actions with cannon and machine gun fire.
“But despite the constant pressure, the Maroon Berets from Mykolaiv are giving the enemy a worthy fight back, destroying their armoured vehicles on the approach to their positions.
“The video shows fragments of the fighting, which demonstrate the complex firepower system used by the 79th paratroopers, using artillery fire, anti-tank missile systems, minefields, attack drones and unmanned aerial vehicles with drops.
“The columns of destroyed enemy equipment seen in the video are the best proof of the effectiveness of the defensive actions of the Tauride paratroopers.
“Together to Victory!”

French President Emmanuel Macron has not ruled out sending ground troops to Ukraine, stating that while there is no consensus to officially back the deployment of ground troops, nothing should be excluded.
European leaders, including France’s president, have gathered in Paris to enhance the response to Russian military advances in Ukraine. It marks the first open discussion of allies potentially providing troops.
Macron stated that previous restrictions on providing long-range missiles and planes to Ukraine have been abandoned. He emphasised the importance of doing everything possible to help Ukraine achieve victory.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has reiterated his hesitancy to send Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine, citing concerns about Germany being drawn directly into the conflict if the missiles are used for deep strikes into Russia.
He highlighted the limitations of Germany’s targeting capabilities compared to those of Britain and France.
France and Britain have provided Kyiv with Scalp and Storm Shadow missiles with a range of about 250 kilometres, while Taurus missiles can reach targets up to 500 kilometres away.
