Russian paratroopers are part of the Russian Aerospace Forces’ Airborne Troops, a highly trained and specialized unit. Their primary role is to conduct airborne operations, including capturing and securing objectives, reinforcing ground troops, and engaging in reconnaissance missions.
The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage of a Trans-Baikal paratrooper mobile anti-tank unit neutralizing a Ukrainian infantry group in the special military operation zone.
Using a Fagot anti-tank missile system mounted on a pick-up truck, the paratroopers neutralized an eight-man infantry group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the ministry said.
The ministry added that the paratroopers from a separate airborne guard formation from Buryatia continue combat operations in the Artyomovsk area.
