on the deployment: “The legendary special forces brigade Azov was reinstated and started to carry out combat missions in the Serebriansky Forestry area. Azov soldiers reliably hold the lines and inflict devastating losses on the enemy in terms of manpower and equipment.” Azov forces were heavily involved in defending the siege of Mariupol last year, in which several of their key commanders were captured by Russian forces, and a prisoner swap earlier this year saw Azov officers and troops returned to Ukraine through Turkey. Azov has been in training since, according to Ukrainian state media, with the Ministry of Internal Affairsearlier this month: “Soldiers of the Azov Brigade conducted tactical exercises.
In April, they said Azov was training in close-quarters battle tactics and in using American-donated MaxxPro armoured cars. The ministry: “Particular attention was paid to the ‘cleaning’ of the premises, which is considered one of the most difficult tasks in CQB and combines elements of police tactics with the military. Acquiring such skills is the key to the fighter’s professionalism. And all-round training forms his resilience and confidence on the battlefield.
The Azov group was founded in 2014 as a paramilitary group inspired, it is said, by hardline neo-nazi thinking and football hooliganism.
