Drone video recorded by Ukrainian sources captures the moment a lone Soldier from the 8th Separate Mountain Assault Battalion defends his position from a squad-sized group of Russian infantrymen. The Soldier continues to fight even when they are within hand grenade range of his position, keeping the Russian attackers on the back-foot until armed drones arrive on the scene and start raining hand grenades down on top of the Russian troops.

The Russian audio in the background was dubbed over by the Ukrainian troops that released the video. It's an intercepted radio message that was occurring at the time of the attack.
