Drone operators also took part in the liberation of the village, striking at the coordinates sent by the marines. It is noted that during the performance of a combat mission, fighters sometimes decided to storm on their own if the situation required swift action.

They also managed to capture one Ukrainian serviceman. From him, the Russian fighters learned the call signs of the enemy's personnel, as well as the location.

"[When] we enter through the north, we will never talk about it over the radio. We use conventional signals through the forest — we enter through the east, west, and so on," the shooter with the call sign Winter told Izvestia correspondent Alexander Safiulin.
