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.
The description of the status of the 810th brigade, provided by Budanov, most corresponds to the doctrinal definition of the US Army Tasks of the tactical mission to "destroy": "Physically to make the enemy's capable forces until they are restored. " 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.
