"I have fought against Russia since 2015, voluntarily went to the front. And after demobilization and a short rest, I signed contracts several more times. During those years, I met our current combatant, who was a company member at the time. He never abandons soldiers in trouble, so I decided to go where he is, to the 128th brigade", the soldier said.
Oleksandr is a grenadier. He also worked with foreign anti-tank missile systems, such as the NLAW, but in the end he chose the old Soviet RPG-7 bazooka.
"Although it is simple, it is unpretentious, reliable and effective. I destroyed a Russian BMP-2 with the RPG-7. The combat vehicle was intact, it was just that a tank blew up on a mine near it, and the crew decided to escape just in case. It was not possible to pull the BMP to itself, that's why the commander set the task of "shooting" it. With three scouts, we approached the target from the side, then I put on headphones, approached the target at 50 meters and fired three times from the grenade launcher. The fireworks turned out to be very spectacular, the tower was turned around. By the way, before the shots were fired, something was glowing in the triplex of the car, perhaps part of the crew or landing party was inside. But I don't feel sorry for them", fighter Som said.
A month ago, the soldier was wounded. It happened when he and his colleagues were leaving one of the settlements. They were fired with mortars.
"We were leaving the settlement and stopped on the roadside between the trees. And then the mortar shelling began. I was standing on the side of the car when one mine exploded. The neighboring trees were mowed down like a scythe, and I was thrown under the tank's track by a shock wave. When he regained consciousness after some time, everything around him was whistling, flying, as well as buzzing. My head hurt a lot, but I realized that I survived and asked for help. Then it turned out that one of the shrapnel had hit me in the chest. Fortunately, the body armor survived, so I will continue to serve. I will serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine until we drive these monsters out of our land..." - Oleksandr stressed.
