CHECK OUT THIS INCREDIBLE VIDEO… IT SHOWS A UKRAINIAN SOLDIER, SHOT FIVE TIMES, RISKING EVERYTHING TO SECURE HIS RESCUE.
AFTER AN AMBUSH BY RUSSIAN TROOPS–THE UKRAINIAN SOLDIER WAS ABLE TO CRAWL AWAY AND CONCEAL HIMSELF WITHIN A TREE LINE IN THE KHARKIV OBLAST. HE SPOTTED A RECON DRONE CIRCLING ABOVE– AND UNSURE IF IT WAS BEING OPERATED BY FRIEND OR FOE, HE FLASHED HIS MILITARY ID. LUCKILY FOR HIM–IT WAS A UKRAINIAN DRONE AND FRIENDLY FORCES EVACUATED HIM
THE 47TH MECHANIZED BRIGADE CAPTURED THIS HARROWING EXPERIENCE OF ITS OWN SOLDIER ON VIDEO, LATER SHARING IT ON THE BRIGADE’S OFFICIAL TELEGRAM CHANNEL.
THE NAME OF THE SOLDIER IN THE VIDEO IS DMYTRO…AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SEEM HIM URGENTLY SIGNAL FOR HELP. HE POINTS TO HIS TOURNIQUET AND A WATCH TO INDICATE HIS TIME IS RUNNING OUT. THEN HE PULLS OUT HIS MILITARY ID TO CONFIRM HIS IDENTITY.
AFTER ENSURING THE CONDITIONS WERE SAFE FOR AN EVACUATION, THE MEDICS OF THE 47TH BRIGADE BEGAN THEIR RESCUE OPERATION, UTILIZING A BRADLEY INFANTRY FIGHTING VEHICLE.
THE BRIGADE EXPRESSED ITS GRATITUDE TO ALL INVOLVED, SAYING:
“We thank the aerial scouts for their vigilance, the crew for their maneuverability, and the medics for saving lives.”
DMYTRO IS CURRENTLY IN THE HOSPITAL, RECOVERING FROM HIS INJURIES. HIS QUICK THINKING NOT ONLY ENSURED HIS SURVIVAL BUT ALSO UNDERSCORED THE VITAL COORDINATION BETWEEN GROUND FORCES AND AERIAL SUPPORT IN MODERN WARFARE.
UKRAINIAN LEADERS — FULLY AWARE OF RUSSIA’S SUPERIOR NUMBERS AND FIREPOWER — MAINTAIN THAT WINNING THIS WAR WILL DEPEND ON MASTERING INNOVATION.
