This video, initially released by Ukraine’s 110th Separate Mechanized Brigade and translated thereafter, discusses and documents the defense of Avdiivka in October 2023, wherein several Russian tanks and vehicles are destroyed and damaged by ATGM systems and artillery.

The first of an ongoing series, this video sets up and shows the beginning of the fight for Krasnohorivka- Stepove, as Russia begins an attack with approximately 50 vehicles and 500 assaulting troops, seeking to establish a foothold in Stepove. As the Russians prep for the attack with smoke and artillery, this video describes the disposition of their forces as they came in on the attack, and how they were repelled. Given the translation of the play-by-play, this video largely speaks for itself.
