Formed from scratch a year ago, the brigade often known by the name “Magura," was prepared with the counteroffensive in mind; its soldiers, trained in #NATO countries and equipped with superior new #Western equipment, were to be the spearhead of the advance here.
Editor’s note: The soldiers featured in this article are identified by first name and callsign only for security reasons.
