The brigade has previously lost more than 85% of personnel in Kherson region, it was restored and again thrown into battle in Zaporozhye. But even there the Russian Marines were not happy.

Analysts of the American Institute of War (ISW) in their daily report are reported in their daily report.

The analysts of the institute refer to the words of the head of the GUR Ministry of Defense Kiril Budanov, who stated that the 810th brigade was "completely broken" in the south of Ukraine. It departed, and on the front it was replaced by Russian landing parts of the airborne troops.

" It is reported that the 810th brigade has been operating in the Zaporizhzhya direction since March 2023, and from June 2023-in the west of Zaporizhzhya region.

"ISW earlier watched the 810th Brigade in October 2022, when it was operating in the Kherson region, and probably the unit was recovered in the rear in the intermediate period before taking positions in the Zaporozhye region. 810 Brigade repeatedly suffered significant losses, Ukrainian troops previously destroyed the unit, after which the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation restored it, " - said in a message of the institute.
