In the Kursk direction, there was no classical frontline. Everything changed rapidly — the situation, tasks, routes. Ukrainian units operated in difficult conditions where decisions had to be made on the move, and mistakes could cost lives.
Instructor of the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade, Sergeant “Ragnar”, and Company First Sergeant “Azimut” shared their experiences in an interview on Army TV.
“Azimut” recalls his first missions:
“This was a time when logistics did not work at all, when soldiers walked 25 kilometers one way to positions using trackers, taking two and a half days. When you realize pressure is coming from the other side, and the land is not yours”.
Despite route changes, fatigue, and inattention, everyone knew their role and understood that nearby were comrades whose actions ensured their safety.
Ukrainian troops did not limit themselves to defense. It was constant tactical work: movements, observation, adjustment, interaction with reconnaissance and artillery. What mattered was not loud words but precise actions.
Sergeant “Ragnar”, who went through the toughest sectors together with “Azimut”, says:
“Honestly, Kursk region was the hardest for me personally, because the terrain is extremely difficult for combat operations…”
According to him, constant improvement, adaptation, and unconventional solutions are essential — otherwise it won’t work.
