Soldiers of the 80th Air Assault Brigade recount the details of the battle leading to the liberation of Klishchiivka.
Klishchiivka is a village on the dominant heights 3 km south on Bakhmut, a place of many bitter battles in 2022-23. Ironically, the name of this hotly disputed village is “The village infested with ticks.”
This is a combined footage spliced from the helmet cam recording of a soldier with the call sign “Axe,” fighting at the forward house position and using an AR-15, and “Maestro” — the guy who switches weapons like Duke Nukem — fighting at the support position (as explained in the video).
The footage from “Maestro’s” camera can be seen here https://youtu.be/veqHitbfz3s
