Decimus reports in Daily Kos:
Despite being nearly encircled and facing intense pressure, Ukrainian forces there have successfully disrupted Russian efforts to amass troops near the city, including eliminating hidden enemy units in cesspits, farms and fisheries. Ukrainian troops continue to hold the town, with supply routes remaining open—though heavily contested—thanks to ground robotic systems, heavy bombers, and coordinated rotations. The 79th Airborne tactics include approaching targets using Russian language in order to neutralize threats.In every war there are moments which capture, in microcosm, the larger spirit of those fearlessly fighting for their FREEDOM. The recent exploits of the Ukrainian 79th Separate Airborne Assault Tavriya Brigade of the 7th Corps of the Airborne Assault Forces are a case in point.
The 79th is in the thick of it at Myrnohrad. One of my diaries earlier in the past week hi-lited another one of their actions as they tenaciously defend Myrnohrad against the Russian Leviathan: ADAPTIVE INDOMITABLE UKRAINE: Russian Infils Tried Gas Lines. Now It's Cesspits at Pokrovsk
The 79th and their distinctive airborne paratrooper’s maroon berets remain actively engaged in the defense of Myrnohrad, conducting continuous search-and-strike operations to counter Russian infiltration attempts and protect critical supply lines. Despite being nearly encircled and facing intense pressure, Ukrainian forces there have successfully disrupted Russian efforts to amass troops near the city, including eliminating hidden enemy units in farm shelters and fishery complexes.
Russian forces have concentrated over 10 major units around Myrnohrad, attempting to cut off Ukrainian logistics from all directions and encircle the defenders. However, Ukrainian troops continue to hold the town, with supply routes remaining open—though heavily contested—thanks to ground robotic systems, heavy bombers, and coordinated rotations. As of January 17, 2026, the situation remains critical, but the 79th Brigade is still holding firm and actively resisting. Ukraine warns of Russian attempt to encircle troops near Myrnohrad
Lacking overwhelming numbers of troops to throw at the Russians, the Ukrainians are employing smart and carefully crafted deceptive tactics to frustrate and destroy the best laid plans of the Russians ... with as few soldiers of their own as possible. Careful surgical operations have become the Ukrainian Army’s way. Like the 79th’s use of tactics such as approaching targets in Russian language in order to neutralize threats without direct mano a mano assault action:
Military: Enemy gathering forces near Myrnohrad to cut off AFU logistics routes
After analyzing radio interceptions, paratroopers of the 79th Airborne Brigade established the call sign of a Russian infantryman who was in one of the farm buildings.
To clear the building, the paratroopers decided not to conduct an open assault, but instead approached the building and introduced themselves: “Cedar, we are friends. We have come to help.”
After that, the assault troops entered the building without resistance and eliminated the Russian who was hiding there.
Here’s another shot of the operational video on Facebook of elements of the Ukrainian 79th making their way to “visit” the Russian commander(call sign “Cedar” ) and his troops. Then hot-footing it after mining and blowing up the large Russian troop concentration point … unscathed. Nicely done !!:
The tenacious defensive stand by the 79th Separate Airborne Assault Tavriya Brigade of the 7th Corps of the Airborne Assault Forces has not gone unnoticed. President Zelenskyy himself braved the dangerous circumstances at the front to visit them in September 2025:
In a war in which wholesale “meat assaults” have become the hallmark of the Russian invaders, ADAPTIVE INDOMITABLE UKRAINE has chosen to be very sparing of the lives of her own soldiers and instead uses carefully planned surgical tactics to achieve maximum results.

Digital marketing and web designing go hand in hand to create a powerful online presence for businesses.
Maintaining control of the town and keeping supply routes open, even under heavy contest, is a critical strategic achievement. The use of ground robotic systems and heavy bombers, combined with coordinated troop rotations, reflects a high level of operational planning and technological integration.
Moreover, the reported tactic by the 79th Airborne of using Russian language to approach and neutralize enemy positions shows psychological and linguistic tactics being effectively applied on the battlefield, Also I am looking forward to serve the Microsoft SharePoint consulting services further demonstrating the unit’s sophistication.
