Vitaliy, a soldier with 118th separate territorial defence brigade, call sign “Texas”, returned to his unit after being wounded and losing his legs and became an aerial reconnaissance man.
According to Censor.NET, this was reported on the Facebook page of the 118th separate territorial defence brigade
The message reads: “His name is Vitaliy. He is from Drabivshchyna, on the left bank of Cherkasy region. Before the full-scale invasion, he ran a small business, raised his son Anton and was fond of precision shooting. February 2022 changed the entrepreneur’s life. Together with like-minded people, he joined the 118th TRO Brigade and, thanks to his skills, was assigned to an aerial reconnaissance unit.”
The brigade noted that in August, while performing a combat mission in the Bakhmut sector, Vitaliy was wounded during an artillery attack and lost both legs. He underwent lengthy treatment, rehabilitation and training to walk again. But all this did not break the spirit of the scout.
“After Vitaliy got his “new legs”, he returned to his native aerial reconnaissance unit. His knowledge and experience have come in handy for his comrades who are just learning the difficult profession of reconnaissance. Vitaliy teaches newcomers and jokes: “In aerial reconnaissance, the main thing is sharp eyesight, quick mind and skilful hands,” the statement said.
“The indomitable spirit of Texas and its thirst for WINNING is an example to all of us. Honour, my friend, Texas!” the brigade said. Source: https://censor.net/en/p3417334
