The Defense Ministry published footage of combat operations to capture AFU dugouts in the Kursk region

On November 27, the Russian Defense Ministry published footage of combat work on capturing dugouts, destroying armored vehicles and manpower of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the border area of Kursk Region, as well as conducting combat training sessions in the rear area of the servicemen of the Black Sea Fleet's Marine Brigade as part of the "North" troop grouping.

"Nowhere else than in the Marine Corps does a person work at once at the junction of three environments. This is water, this is land and this is sky. All this puts an imprint on this military profession," said a Marine serviceman with the call sign Botsman.

Thanks to continuous monitoring of the AFU's actions with the help of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of airplane and quadrocopter type, it was possible in the shortest possible time to detect the main resistance nodes and dislodge the enemy from the dugouts equipped and camouflaged by the AFU.

The footage shows how one of the control points of the Black Sea Fleet's (BSF) marine infantry unit, which performs tasks as part of the "North" troop grouping, is continuously working to ensure combat operations in the areas of responsibility.

"We are guided by the principle 'there is no limit to perfection', and the guys are constantly honing their combat experience and sharing it with their comrades," commented the company's deputy commander with the call sign Stavropol.

The units of the "North" group of troops in the border area of Kursk region continue to follow the assault groups and consolidate themselves in the liberated territories.

In addition, scheduled training sessions on fire and engineering training, as well as the assault of the AFU position, are being held with Marine servicemen who arrived from the line of contact on rotation to the rear areas.
