This was reported on the brigade's official page.

"In modern warfare, where the focus is on drones and other asymmetric tactics, armored vehicles remain crucial. The crew fires the first few shots, and then a voice is heard, 'We're hitting the target, let's finish the job.' The vehicle expends its ammo and swiftly exits the firing position. Survival here hinges on the crew's skill and coordination. The infantry fighting vehicle, though old, is a powerful weapon. It may be a tool of the 20th century, but in capable hands, any machine becomes a deadly weapon," the message reads.

According to the soldiers, almost all equipment today becomes a high-priority target as soon as it appears in the Russian line of sight.

"Our mechanics push the armor to its limits to keep effectively eliminating Russian occupiers," the brigade added.

About the 24th Brigade

The 24th Separate Mechanized Brigade, named after King Danylo, is a unit of mechanized troops within Ukraine's Ground Forces, under the West operational command. The brigade honors King Danylo, a notable medieval ruler and military leader of the Kingdom of Rus.

Since the start of Russian aggression in 2014, the brigade has been involved in numerous operations across eastern Ukraine. They continue to fight in the full-scale invasion, remaining optimistic and dedicated to fulfilling their missions and achieving victory. 24th Brigade's journey over the past two years includes the heroic defense of Popasna, the liberation of Kherson, and their efforts in repelling Russian forces in the Donetsk region
