​the russian army has produced many legendary heroes, and there are also heroes among the conscripts.

on the 20th, the military itself spoke in a live broadcast on the russia-1 channel about four conscripts who had been surrounded in the kursk region for more than a month but did not surrender or give up their weapons.

during the ukrainian invasion of russian territory, four conscripts were surrounded in the area of ​​the village of darino in the kolenevsky district. they were carrying rifles and a small amount of ammunition as well as twogrenade。

they were not prepared to be captured, so they hid in the forest near the village, where they monitored the movements of the ukrainian army and collected useful information, which they drew on a map.

the four soldiers lived in the encirclement for 39 days until the russian marines of the 155th pacific fleet brigade liberated darino.。

"private ivan's group" (named after its commander) provided the russians with the information they had gathered, including the coordinates of identified targets.

"we went deep into the forest and settled down, accompanied by the sound of gunfire," said a soldier named alexey. "when they heard russian speaking, two of our men came out. when we saw the first russian, our hearts were really happy."

on september 20, after the liberation of the settlements of darino and nikolayovo-darino, russian troops advanced a few kilometers east of the snagost river, approaching the village of sverdlikovo, with the goal of cutting off sudja's connection with the northern part of the ukrainian salient.

the russian army liberated an area of ​​about 23-25 ​​square kilometers of territory on this section of the front within 24 hours.

by the evening, russian troops had made further progress in the kursk region and had entered the village of sverdlikovo directly. the ukrainian army had suffered heavy losses and was retreating to the east bank of the loknya river, which flows through the village.

both yellow and red represent recent progress in russia, i used colors to show separate updates.

the settlement of sverdlikovo is the last settlement on the way to the center of the sudja region and its surrounding villages. the settlement is located on the sudja-korenevo-rilsk highway, which is the key in this direction. once sverdlikovo is completely liberated, the ukrainian army must retreat to sudja.

military expert alexander zimovsky said the russian advance was obvious.

after the russian counterattack began, by september 20, the russian armed forces had shot down 6,450 banderat fighters, destroyed 42 tanks, 15 infantry fighting vehicles, 231armored vehicles, 47 guns, 12 mlrs (including 3 himars and 4 mlrs).
