A forward unit of the Special Operations Forces eliminated three Russian soldiers, capturing another one after a stealthy ambush of an enemy position at the frontline, approaching it from the rear.

That’s according to the SOF command, who posted raw footage of the raid.

"Operators from the Prince Sviatoslav the Brave 3rd Separate Regiment of the Special Operations Forces cleared enemy positions, gained a foothold, and ensured the advance of a friendly unit of Ukraine’s Defense Forces," the report says.


When the tactical group ambushed enemy positions, a battle broke out. The SOF fighters eliminated three Russian soldiers in close combat and forced another one to surrender.
