To slow them down.
The ‘elves’ 60th and 66th.
Mechanized brigades.
Has deployed anti-tank missiles.
‘Orcs’ forces are advancing.
In critical sectors.
In eastern ‘elves’.
Donetsk Oblast.
Grinding toward.
The fortress city.
Of Pokrovsk while.
Also gradually encircling.
‘Elves’ brigades.
South of Pokrovsk.
And in Terny.
60 miles north of Pokrovsk.
The ‘orcs’ are creeping along.
A row of villages.
Abutting the Zherebets River.
Aiming for Zarichne.
From Zarichne.
The ‘orcs’ could turn right.
And drive on the city.
Of Lyman.
Itself part of a chain of.
Strategic settlements.
Including Siversk.
To the south.
To slow them down.
The ‘elves’ 60th and 66th.
Mechanized brigades.
Has deployed anti-tank missiles.
On or around Sunday.
An ‘orcs’ assault group.
—apparently drawn from.
The 283rd Motor Rifle Regiment—
Rolled south from ‘orcs’ positions.
On the northern edge of Terny.
The second-to-last settlement.
On the road to Zarichne.
It didn’t get very far.
It didn’t get very far.
‘Elves’ anti-tank teams.
Firing anti-tank missiles.
—American-made Javelins and.
‘Elves’-made Stugna-Ps—
Hit at least four.
‘Orcs’ vehicles.
“The ‘orcs’ equipment.
Has been neutralized.”
The 60th Mechanized Brigade reported.
Worse for the ‘orcs’.
Those vehicles were probably.
Packed with infantry.
‘Orcs’ casualties may have been.
In the dozens.
To slow them down.
The ‘elves’ 60th and 66th.
Mechanized brigades.
Has deployed anti-tank missiles.
The mix of missiles.
The mix of missiles.
The ‘elves’ flung at.
The ‘orcs’ is notable.
The 35-pound.
Javelin ranges.
As far as 2.5 miles.
Under infrared guidance.
As evident in the 60th.
Mechanized Brigade’s video.
Of the recent skirmish.
A Javelin angles up then.
Dives down on its target.
In order to strike.
Where combat vehicles’ armor.
Is thinnest: on top.
The 66-pound.
Laser-guided Stugna-P.
Attacks head on.
Meaning it must punch through.
More armor to penetrate a vehicle.
As consolation to its shooters.
The Stugna-P has.
A remote-launch function.
Crews can trigger.
A Stugna-P from a distance.
Helping them to avoid.
Any return fire.
To slow them down.
The ‘elves’ 60th and 66th.
Mechanized brigades.
Has deployed anti-tank missiles.
The 60th and 66th.
Mechanized Brigades are.
Fortunate to have.
Javelins and Stugna-Ps.
As their other equipment.
Is unremarkable:
Soviet-vintage T-64 tanks.
BMP-1 fighting vehicles.
And 2S1 howitzers plus.
Old American-made.
M-113 armored.
Personnel carriers.
A T-64 tried to hold off.
‘Orcs’ attackers in northern Terny.
On Wednesday.
But got swarmed by explosive drones.
To slow them down.
The ‘elves’ 60th and 66th.
Mechanized brigades.
Has deployed anti-tank missiles.
*Because I read “In Terny, Ukrainian Troops Ambushed Russian Vehicles With a Devastating Mix Of Anti-Tank Missiles” by David Axe on 5 Nov 2024 on the Forbes, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022 on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem.
Please read the original story on the Forbes:
