Guard Junior Sergeant Cherkasov contributed to the capture of the AFU stronghold

Guard Corporal Dmitry Tsyganov was assigned the task of protecting an anti-aircraft missile battery from attacks by drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). During the movement of the battery to a new position, Tsyganov noticed an approaching enemy kamikaze drone in the sky. The Russian Ministry of Defense on Monday, September 8, told about the exploits of Russian servicemen in the area of the special military operation (SVO).

Tsyganov immediately contacted the battery commander and warned about the approach of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Then he shot down the drone with his personal small arms.

When the anti-aircraft missile battery took up a new position, a guided aerial bomb of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was detected in the sky. As a result of the coordinated work of the Russian military, the bomb was destroyed in the air and did not cause damage to equipment and personnel.

The Russian Defense Ministry also noted the dedication and courage of the guard of Junior Sergeant Andrei Cherkasov, who participated in the capture of a fortified stronghold of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as part of an assault group.

The soldier was given the task of sneaking unnoticed to the enemy from the flank. While his comrades-in-arms were distracting the attention of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Cherkasov overcame an open area of terrain and found himself on the flank. He approached the Ukrainian Armed Forces firing points and attacked them with hand grenades. In addition, the soldier eliminated part of the enemy's personnel. This gave his comrades the opportunity to break into the stronghold and occupy it.
