According to available information, reconnaissance company of the 73rd Marine Center of the SOF of Ukraine was transferred to the combat area from the military base in Ochakiv. The task of the Ukrainian naval special forces was to conduct reconnaissance of the positions of the Russian army in the area of u200bu200bthe settlement of Dry Stavok in the Kherson direction, where fierce fighting took place in early September.
The reconnaissance moved in the direction of the Russian positions, but was discovered.

The Russian military set up an ambush, where did the naval special forces company of the Ukrainian Navy.
It should be noted, that Ukrainian special forces tried to get out of the fire bag, arranged by ours and even found some shelter near the road to 2 km from Sukhoi Stavka. Ukrainian paratroopers from the 46th ODSHB tried to organize a cover for them, but Russian front-line bombers SU-34 arrived in this direction, who bombed the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with unguided bombs FAB-250 and FAB-500. This led to the retreat of reinforcements from the 46th OSHB, leaving naval special forces one on one with our.
As a result, the enemy lost several infantry fighting vehicles and up to 120 military, mainly from the 73rd MTR Maritime Center.

The command attracts fighters for reconnaissance activities. The same task was supposed to be carried out in the Kherson direction, but the ambush and actions of the Russian military put an end to the further career of most of the soldiers of the naval special forces of the Ukrainian Navy.
