The aerial reconnaissance of the 71st Brigade discovered a Russia mortar position.

How Ukrainian soldiers destroyed two Russian mortars

"After one FPV drone hit, Russian occupier decided to get out to fix the mortar's camouflage, which gave away the location of his hole. The second 'kamikaze' drone has already come for him," the statement says.

Then, with several drone strikes, Ukrainian soldiers managed to completely destroy the mortar with its ammunition. Another mortar was found nearby, which took one precise drone strike to destroy.

What is known about the 71st Separate Brigade

The 71st Separate Ranger Brigade was created immediately after the start of the large-scale Russian invasion.

Its first units went into action two months later. Since then, the brigade's units have been crushing the enemy in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia regions. The warriors have proved the slogan "Immitis" - ruthless - more than once. Chevrons - first with a boar, then with a Semargle - terrified the enemy, and there were cases when Russians abandoned their positions only after learning that a brigade of rangers was standing against them. Six months after its creation, the unit was transferred to the Airborne Assault Forces and its fighters fought in the hottest spots of the frontline. The 71st Brigade distinguished itself in the battles for Bakhmut, Chasiv Yar, Robotyne, and Avdiivka.
