Mortar crews of the assault battalion “Black Swan” of the 225th Separate Assault Regiment came under attack by an enemy FPV drone while moving to positions near Vovchansk.

Instructors from the 225th Separate Assault Regiment’s training center shared a real combat episode and the correct algorithm of actions after a vehicle is hit in a video published by the regiment.

As a result of the drone strike on the armored combat vehicle, all servicemen survived, although they sustained injuries.

The unit emphasizes that no theory can fully prepare one for an emergency situation. Adrenaline, concussion, and shock sharply reduce decision-making ability. That is why practicing scenarios, analyzing real cases, and continuous training are crucial for survival on the battlefield.

“Even watching and analyzing such episodes forms a behavioral model for critical moments”, — the instructors note.

In the final part of the video, they explain in detail which actions by the crew after an FPV strike can minimize losses and give everyone a chance to escape alive.
