Special operation behind Russian lines: SOF killed occupiers and destroyed vehicle carrying ammunition. VIDEO
Special Operations Forces (SOF) teams are operating inside Russia. Operators from the SOF’s 73rd Naval Center carried out special operations behind enemy lines.
The SOF press center released footage showing parts of the 73rd Naval Center operators’ work behind enemy lines, Censor.NET reports.
What is the purpose of these special operations?
The SOF said such operations have a direct military effect and also affect the enemy’s command and control systems, morale, and psychological state.
The footage shows special reconnaissance, the laying of mines along movement and logistics routes, an ambush using combat engineering techniques, and target designation for unmanned aerial system crews.
Enemy losses
According to the SOF, the enemy suffered direct losses of four Russian service members killed and nine wounded. A vehicle carrying ammunition was also destroyed.
The operation had indirect effects as well. The enemy brought in additional forces and reserves, several routes were closed, logistics slowed, and the unseen threat limited the activity of enemy personnel in the area.
"The vast majority of missions the SOF carry out inside Russia are never made public," the SOF added.
