Junior Sergeant Krotov noticed the enemy and immediately foiled his attack

On March 22, the Ministry of Defense reported on the new feats of the fighters of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation during the special operation to protect Donbass.

It is known that the commander of the howitzer self-propelled artillery battalion, junior sergeant Nikita Krotov, defended a strategically important settlement with his colleagues and provided artillery support to the motorized riflemen. At that time, armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine advanced towards the positions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, endangering the lives of our servicemen.

Nikita Krotov quickly understood the scope of the tasks and how to act against the enemy, suggesting how he could act.

“I made an unequivocal decision on the order of firing and hitting targets. The fire at a self-propelled artillery installation under the command of a junior sergeant destroyed three armored fighting vehicles, one van with anti-tank weapons, as well as more than three dozen Ukrainian nationalists,” the Defense Ministry said.

Such actions of the Russian military helped the units of the Russian army to thwart the attack of the enemy, inflict great damage and save the lives of the military of the Russian Federation.

Earlier, the Belarusian State Security Committee admitted that the SBU or opponents who fled the republic could be behind the terrorist liquidated in Grodno.
