My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video, I will tell you what happened on the seven-hundred-eighty-first day of the war. Day 781: Apr 14 Today, there are a lot of updates from the Siversk direction. Here, some of the most intense clashes are taking place in the Bilohorivka area. The key point in the ongoing battle has become the White Mountain on the chalk quarry, after which the settlement of Bilohorivka was named. Ukrainian troops stationed atop the Terrikon enjoy substantial tactical advantage because the high ground allows them to establish effective fire control over the surrounding area, significantly complicating Russian attempts to gain ground. That is why Russian forces decided to deal with it once and for all and launched a series of powerful assaults to capture the White Mountain. The elevated positions at the quarry enabled Ukrainians to exploit fire control of the area to the fullest extent and destroy large Russian assault groups, but despite significant losses, Russian forces did not give up the hopes of taking control of it. The first step of this offensive operation was establishing control over the tree lines right in front of the Terrikon. Russian commanders did not seem to consider the fact that the mount is sloped at a steep angle and that even if Russians do establish positions beneath it, they won’t be able to climb it up, while Ukrainians would still be able to strike them from top of it. That is why Russian forces were forced to slowly move north along this tree line, under the constant fire from above, to approach the lowest part of the mountain. Russians allocated lots of infantry fighting vehicles and tanks in an effort to establish a foothold. Their plan was for the infantry fighting vehicles to drive to the lower slopes of the Terrikon, dismount the infantry while tanks provide fire support and then pull back once the infantry dismounts. The first Russian assault group consisted of five BMP-Two infantry fighting vehicles and a tank. They were heading to Bilohorivka from the direction of Zolotarivka. Unfortunately for the Russians, a Ukrainian reconnaissance drone team detected them on time and directed artillery and kamikaze drone operators to the approaches of the Terrikon. Soon after finding themselves under intense fire, Russians drove over a road covered in landmines that were pre-placed by Ukrainian drones. This led to the whole column being immobilized, thus exposing it to the FPV drones and artillery systems and destroying it. The surviving Russian stormtroopers were hunted down and killed in the nearby dugouts. According to Ukrainian sources, Ukrainian forces successfully destroyed five armored vehicles, damaged one vehicle, and killed forty-two Russian soldiers, essentially wiping out the whole platoon. The assault was successfully repelled by elements of the Ukrainian fifty-fourth mechanized brigade and one-hundred-eighteenth territorial defense brigade. The only vehicle to make it out of the Ukrainian killzone was a lone tank. It seems like, based on the survival of one Russian tank, Russian commanders thought that tanks would perform better against artillery fire and drone strikes due to their superior armor compared to APCs and sent even more tanks in the second assault. Nonetheless, the tanks were successfully immobilized, leaving the crew only the option of fleeing, and the empty tanks were subsequently destroyed by FPV drones. Seeing how the second assault failed, Russians decided to deploy Storm-Z penalty battalion troops into the third assault in hopes that they would overwhelm Ukrainian troops with sheer numbers. However, the third assault did not bring any results, as only one disarmed Russian stormtrooper survived. One BMP-Two was also abandoned in the same area and subsequently destroyed by Ukrainians. Many bodies of Storm-Z stormtroopers were left lying in the field, however, I cannot show the images simply because there are too many dead troops. At that point, Russians could only send repeated assaults with infantry aboard infantry fighting vehicles in hopes that they would not be detected and destroyed by drone operators on the way to the Terrikon. In order to increase their chances of success, Russians sent a smaller fourth assault group consisting of two BMPs. It seems like the Ukrainian reconnaissance team monitor the area non-stop because even this small unit was detected fairly quickly. However, sending a smaller assault unit on faster APVs instead of tanks allowed Russians to...
