At the beginning of 2023, the United States transferred almost 200 Stryker combat vehicles to Ukraine. Almost all the equipment was received by the new elite 82nd Airborne Brigade of the Ukrainian Airborne Forces. Now they are fighting in Volchansk.
According to Forbes, this is the first time these armored fighting vehicles are used on the battlefield for which they were created. We are talking about urban battles.
Amid the fighting in the north of the Kharkiv region, rumors began to circulate that the 82nd Airborne Assault Brigade was in a hurry to strengthen the garrison in Volchansk. Recently, the fighters confirmed their deployment to new positions. Video from UAVs and helmet cameras shows Ukrainian paratroopers entering the battle in the center of Volchansk. One soldier even fired an anti-tank missile from the Stryker's open top hatch.
"The goal was to take defensive positions and hold off the enemy," one of the paratroopers said in a separate video.
As noted, fighters on these armored fighting vehicles should avoid direct combat with a Russian mechanized or tank brigade, especially in open terrain where heavier tanks and tracked combat vehicles can apply their superior firepower at long range.
Last year, the 82nd Air Assault Brigade entered combat for the first time against entrenched Russian mechanized forces in the open fields of southern Ukraine. The brigade lost at least eight of its armored fighting vehicles, which Oryx analysts were able to verify.
With the southern front stabilized and the Russians concentrating their forces in the east and north of the cities, the 82nd Air Assault Brigade was finally able to fight in advantageous terrain.
In an effort to pass through Volchansk to clear the way to Kharkov, the new northern group of Russian army forces began infantry assaults.
“Assault groups, usually up to platoons in size, engage in combat operations with a strong point before combining with other assault groups. This reduces losses when approaching the target, but slows down the pace of advance,” explained the Ukrainian Defense Center strategies.
Platoons of Russians were scattered across the urban gray zone in the center of Volchansk, blurring the front line and forcing Ukrainian Stryker crews to engage in 360-degree combat.
“We held a perimeter defense. They came from all sides,” said one of the paratroopers.
Fortunately, Strykers are suitable for round-robin combat. These vehicles make good platforms for surveillance and shooting, and the sensors and weapons mounted on top make them difficult for invaders to sneak up on.
More importantly, each Stryker carries an entire squad of nine infantrymen. Thus, a group of four AFVs can deploy a full platoon of nearly 40 infantrymen, something that the heavier, less capable M-2 tracked vehicles cannot.
