This is the fourth part of the series in which we show the path and training that recruits go through to finally join the ranks of the Third Assault Brigade. In the frame, we already see familiar faces from previous videos - “Optimist” and “Mrak”, who, having taken the oath, officially entered military service. They share their thoughts and impressions at the final stage of preparation. Ahead is their first combat mission as part of the Third Assault Brigade.
"“Since the age of 16, I understood: everything I wanted, I had to achieve it myself. If you want to change something - go and f*cking work hard on it. My motivation is precisely in that. No one will do anything for you,” - “Mrak” explains his life stance.
"
In the video - the completion of training of the fighters in Great Britain. Fragments of trainings on the training ground, scenes of informal communication and emotional goodbyes with the British military servicemen, who see the fighters off to Ukraine. Their way back home. “I’m a happy person. I have brothers-in-arms. I’ll remember them every day. And I’ll never forget them. I adore them, I love them. I know they have my back,” - “Optimist” says. His combat training lasted for about half a year, and his brothers-in-arms have long become like family to him.
"The film also shows the unit cohesion and training of newly minted fighters in the combat units of the brigade. Tasks are carried out on the training ground with various types of weapons and heavy equipment. In particular, according to the story, the fighters face the task of holding the crossing in the rear of the adjacent units, which the recruits must destroy in case of failure of the operation. Another group works on clearing and storming positions that, according to the scenario, were held by adjacent units but retaken by the enemy. The trainings are conducted under the leadership of unit commanders. They provide valuable guidance and practical advice from their own experience. Each fighter has a combat path behind them, starting as a stormer.
"
"In my company there is not a single commander who was simply appointed to his position. Those are people who have walked their battle path from an ordinary stormer or those from the fire training platoon and others. They all worked in the infantry. All of them fought. I know for myself how you can swim 200 meters in the mud, fall down, and not have any progress. And for some it's just on the map, like: "It's 10 centimeters here. Why don't they go?" Because he himself didn’t walk those ten centimeters,” - mate “Procent”, the commander of the 3rd assault company of the 1st assault battalion of the brigade, states.
"
At the end of the film - final preparations and assemblies, advice from experienced combat brothers, personal weapons preparation, and the departure of the fighters to Donbas for their first combat operation. How it all happened - watch in the new part of the “Path of the Warrior” series.
