Junior Sergeant Abdulaev shot down an enemy UAV near a Russian Armed Forces stronghold

Senior Warrant Officer Maxim Zhevlakov rendered first aid to the wounded despite incessant artillery shelling and kamikaze drone attacks. On Saturday, November 30, the Russian Defense Ministry described new feats of Russian army servicemen in the zone of the special military operation (SMO).

Zhevlakov, as part of an assault unit, took part in the liberation of one of the settlements under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). The enemy was close to defeat and launched mortars and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

During the battle, a senior warrant officer spotted a Ukrainian kamikaze drone attacking a medical vehicle carrying wounded servicemen. The driver lost control and the vehicle crashed into the wall of the building.

Despite continued enemy artillery fire and the risk of drone attack, Zhevlakov moved to help his wounded comrades. At the risk of his own life, he provided the necessary assistance to the soldiers and evacuated them to safety, after which he continued to fulfill the combat mission.

The Russian Defense Ministry also noted the courage and determination of Junior Sergeant Magomed Abdulaev, who was monitoring the air situation in the area of one of the settlements liberated by the Russian Army when he noticed a Ukrainian UAV with explosives approaching a stronghold.

Abdulaev took aim at the drone with his standard weapon and shot down the drone. The device landed outside the stronghold and exploded.

Earlier, on November 27, it was reported that Guards Private Alexei Mukhin destroyed an AFU machine gun point and provided first aid to those wounded by enemy artillery fire and then ensured their transfer to a safe area for further treatment.

A day earlier, on November 26, the Russian Defense Ministry said that Private Igor Orlov detected the movement of AFU vehicles and ensured their destruction.

Prior to that, on November 25, the Defense Ministry said that Private Vladimir Varich detected an approaching sabotage group of the AFU consisting of seven people, reported about the saboteurs, took an advantageous position and opened machine gun fire on the enemy, restraining their movement. As a result, the enemy suffered losses and was forced to retreat.

The special operation to defend Donbass, the start of which was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was made against the backdrop of the worsening situation in the region.
