30 km Behind Enemy Lines | Inside Ukraine’s Intelligence Bratstvo Battalion

1 min read

This film follows two missions on the same battlefield.

“Bratstvo” Battalion operates within “Timur’s Special Forces Unit” of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine.

In an extraordinary operation, fighters of “Bratstvo” Battalion crossed the dried bed of the Kakhovka reservoir, moving 30 km behind enemy lines to capture Russian officers alive and bring back critical intelligence.

For the first time, this film reveals the route of that raid and the exposed terrain they had to cross.

We then follow “Bratstvo” Battalion again near Zaporizhzhia, where FPV crews work to stop Russian infiltration groups moving across the same ground.

Since this story was filmed, one of the fighters featured in it, Anton “Umnik” Poliukhovych, was killed in action.
