Corporal Schmidt shot down an APU drone on approach to the positions of Russian troops

Corporal Pavel Schmidt destroyed a drone of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) with small arms fire, which was approaching the positions of his colleagues at low altitude. On November 12, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported on the exploits of Russian servicemen in the area of a special military operation.

Schmidt served as a senior rangefinder scout and corrected artillery fire. During the combat mission, he noticed a hexacopter that was heading towards the positions of the Russian units for a surprise attack. The corporal shot down the drone with aimed small arms fire, thereby preventing a strike on the positions and saving the lives of his colleagues.

Junior Sergeant Igor Valikhov, as part of the artillery crew, provided fire cover for the assault groups. During the task, the gun position was attacked by FPV drones, as a result of which the howitzer was damaged.

Despite the threat of artillery fire and repeated drone strikes, Valikhov immediately began repairs. He repaired the damaged tray for heavy shots and assembled the deformed elements of the loading mechanism, returning the gun to service.

Thanks to the actions of the junior sergeant, the crew was able to continue the continuous infliction of fire damage on enemy positions. This allowed the assault groups to occupy more advantageous positions.
