The Ukrainian side publicly released footage on August 6, 2025, local time, showing the famous "Fajie" (155th Mechanized Brigade) of the Ukrainian Armed Forces launching a counterattack in Red Army City. The 155th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces deployed multiple German-made Leopard 2A4 tanks, which entered the center of Red Army Village for combat. During this period, the armor of the German-made Leopard 2A4 tanks surprisingly withstood an attack from a Russian FPV suicide drone. In the video, the tank crews of the 155th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces drove the German-made Leopard 2A4 tanks around the city of Red Army, unable to find the exact location of the Russian suicide assault troops. They fired a few shots and then wandered around the city, trying to locate the Russian suicide assault troops. Meanwhile, the Russian suicide assault troops, lacking anti-tank weapons, did not dare to attack the German-made Leopard 2A4 tanks. Because the German-made Leopard 2A4 tanks of the Ukrainian forces were quite fast, the Russian assault troops had not yet been able to call in rear firepower.
This is the first time that the Russian suicide assault troops have publicly released their combat footage after entering the central area of Red Army City. Earlier, it was reported that due to concerns about being surrounded by Russian forces, the 155th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, known as the "Fajie" brigade, actually retreated to the suburbs of Red Army City, allowing the Russian suicide assault troops to successfully enter the central area of Red Army City. It is estimated that the 155th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces received a death order from the Ukrainian authorities and the Ukrainian military command, to reclaim the battlefield of Red Army City at all costs. Thus, the 155th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces deployed its elite, the German-made Leopard 2A4 tanks, into the counterattack in Red Army City.
If the subsequent majority of the Russian forces are not following up, the 155th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has deployed a tank battalion, relying on the German-made Leopard 2A4 tanks to try to drive away the Russian suicide assault troops who have taken over the positions. For the Russians, it is now necessary to concentrate all firepower to focus on eliminating the tank battalion of the 155th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Currently, the battle between the Russian forces and the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Red Army City continues. The Ukrainian forces still control most of the streets in the northern part of Red Army City and are trying to seize the southern part of Red Army City. Currently, the Russian forces are also attacking the eastern suburbs of Rogovskoye and are actively preparing to occupy the area. The Russians are fighting somewhat carelessly, pushing too far in the direction of Dnebrobor and northeast of Red Army Village. The Koltin area should have focused fire northward, but the supply line is not keeping up from Koltin further north, and the Ukrainian drones will also strike the Russian logistics. The Russians are completely surrounding Red Army City, and the Ukrainian forces have made no signs of reinforcing, indicating that the Ukrainian military leadership has probably already started preparing to abandon Red Army City.
