Footage of a large-scale attack by the Ukrainian army near the village of Peski on the positions of the Russian "Somalia" unit and the 11th regiment. As noted, the attack was organized quite competently. The Ukrainian army, taking advantage of the lack of Russian aviation, used 3 Mi-24 helicopters and armored vehicles. Ukrainian Mi-24 helicopters, not entering the air defense zone, carried out launches of unguided missiles from a pitch-up. Two T-64BV tanks supported the advance of the Shilka anti-aircraft gun and the BMP-2 armored vehicle with fire. After the defeat of the BMP-2, it later exploded, Ukrainian units began to retreat. Reportedly, after the retreat, the Ukrainian army lost part of its previously occupied positions.

An episode of the battle near the village of Pesok. The video has been shortened. Units of the Ukrainian army, consisting of 5 British Mastiff armored vehicles and two T-64BV tanks, attempted to attack the Russian Somali unit. At the beginning of the battle, Mastiff armored vehicles began to maneuver near the Russian positions, firing at them. It is worth noting that at this moment the armored vehicles were a very convenient target, but judging by the video, only one ATGM strike was fired. Perhaps not everyone was shown in the video or there were few ATGMs in the unit. Russian artillery joined the battle and began to process the area. Further, the Mastiff armored vehicles approached the junction of the 11th Donetsk regiment and the Somali battalion for the landing. The Russian unit "Sparta" is connected to the battle and the Ukrainian units begin to retreat. When the Ukrainian units withdrew, they tried to hide in the trenches, but artillery began to hit there. A Ukrainian armored vehicle that came up to evacuate the wounded was put out of action, as it was later found abandoned in a field. As a result of the battle, the Ukrainian units retreated, losing 3 Mastiff armored vehicles and an armored personnel carrier.
Former President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko continues to master foreign military equipment. This time he was spotted on an FV103 Spartan armored personnel carrier made in England. It is not yet known if this is his new purchase of military equipment or if he just rides.
