Soldiers of the 2nd Company of the 2nd Assault Battalion of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade infiltrated the enemy's rear during a combat operation and captured 6 Russian soldiers who mistook Ukrainians for their own.

The Russians sitting in the dugout thought that their assaultmen were "rolling into" the position by mistake. The invaders were in for a surprise: they were allegedly taken to the headquarters of the Russian Armed Forces to check their documents, but ended up in a Ukrainian military camp, Censor.NET reports.

The occupiers did not realise they had been captured until the last moment - they thought they were going to the OP to check their documents," the 3rd Brigade said.

"They didn't give a damn what was going on. They were shouting: "Guys, we are our own, I answer, the Russian military ticket is in my pocket!"," our fighters said.

The operation helped to advance the contact line by almost 300 metres. In addition to 6 captured Russian servicemen, 4 occupiers were killed and two more wounded.

The group successfully completed the task and returned without losses.
