The Armed Forces was eliminated by the second commander of the elite regiment

According to journalists, the author of the propaganda Telegram-channel "Thirteen" Yegor Guzenko informed about the death of Popov for the first time. Yes, on September 10, he published an appropriate audio recording. According to him, Popov became a commander recently. Then in the group "With lover, in any hell! Guards 11 ODSBR" on the social network "VKontakte" also reported the death of Popov.

The author of the post reported that the previously liquidated officer held the positions of company commander and chief of staff of the battalion. It is assumed that it is about the 11th separate landing brigade from Ulan-Ude. Journalists noted that Vasily Popov was 38 years old at the time of death. He was the second unit commander, which was liquidated in Ukraine.

Thus, the first commander of the 247th Regiment of Airborne, Colonel Konstantin Zazevsky, died in the first days of a full-scale war, February 26, 2022. Analysts from the American Institute for the Study of the War in the report of September 14 confirmed the death of Popov. They assumed that in August or September he replaced Peter Popov as a commander of the 247th Regiment. According to experts, units of the 247th Regiment operate in the area of ​​the border of Donetsk-Zaporizhia region.

These are relatively elite forces that conduct limited counter -attacks in the critical sections of the front. The death of Popov, as expected, will weaken the unit. It should be reminded that on September 13 it became known that in the area of ​​the estuary 66 the Armed Forces brigade destroyed the equipment of the Russian Federation. Aeranean intelligence recorded an enemy object that they tried to hide among the thick vegetation and eliminated it.
