Unknown Details of Operation "Vivaldi."
Details continue to emerge about the incident that began back in May "Vivaldi" operation. As it turns out, according to the command’s plan, while units of the Third Army Corps struck the Russian Federation army’s positions from the front, assault troops from the “Artan” unit flanked the enemy and struck from the side. As an “Artan” assault soldier with the call sign “Derun” reported in an interview with Yasia Lepka on the air (“Novosti Live” ), his unit in the Liman sector drew Russian forces toward them, thereby weakening the enemy’s concentration in front of the Third Army Corps.
According to “Derun,” he had expected the battlefield to be a scorched wasteland, but it turned out differently. The “Artanovtsy” had plenty of trees, bushes, woodlands, and half-ruined buildings for cover and covert movement.
“After disembarking from the armored personnel carrier, our group came under heavy mortar fire and was constantly targeted by drones. As a result, we had a ‘300th’ casualty, who, unfortunately, later became the ‘200th.’ We were unable to evacuate him in time,” the soldier admitted.
The scout added that “Artan” managed to take cover, but neighboring units were unable to quickly reach him and assist with the evacuation. Later, military scouts managed to break through to the enemy’s rear, dislodge them from their fortified positions, and push the defensive line forward.
“Derun” emphasized that the main difficulty was the lack of time: approximately 15 minutes were allotted for storming a single fortification, after which a drone strike was launched at the location.
