Mykhailo Burlakov, 22-year-old unit commander of the 80th Airborne Assault Brigade, 'holds' the Ukrainian sky together with his comrades. Their weapon is the Strela-10 anti-aircraft missile system.

The 80th Detached Airborne Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces shared the story, Espreso.West reported.

"Russian occupiers are coming at us like rams into closed gates. And we hit them by the horns," the commander of the unit of the 80th Airborne Assault Brigade comments on the nefarious actions of the aggressor, who is actively shelling the Ukrainian cities.

According to him, Russian forces beat harshly and take in large numbers because they "just want to exterminate our people."

Mykhailo, together with his comrades, 'holds' the Ukrainian sky with the help of the Strela-10 anti-aircraft missile system.

"This complex is high-passable and very mobile. It can destroy any air targets: cruise missiles, planes, UAVs. Drones are especially dangerous, because they direct their missile systems of volley fire at infrastructure objects and our units," said the commander.

Mykhailo's unit managed to neutralize the supersonic Russian ZALA drone and two KA-52 helicopters (known as Alligator), which until recently were so praised by Russian propaganda.

The military assures that our fighters have enough strength and fighting spirit, they would like even more new equipment and then they cannot be stopped.
