On October 27, 2024, servicemen from Rogue Team and Omega Team of the GUR International Legion were tasked with locating and eliminating Russian FSB and SOF DRG groups conducting cross-border ambushes in Ukraine’s Chernihiv and Sumy Oblasts. During the mission, the teams attempted to infiltrate enemy territory but encountered a fortified Russian position near the village of Brahlov in Bryansk Oblast. According to Rogue Team fighter with the callsign "Snow," they had expected a trench position but instead came across a heavily fortified underground bunker with trenches and eight firing positions. "It was like Fort Knox," - "Snow" recalls. Rogue Team split into two main teams: Alpha and Bravo. Rogue Alpha and Omega Team assaulted the fortification from the treeline west of Rogue Bravo. Rogue Bravo then split into two groups, with one advancing to assault the fortification while the other remained behind to provide covering fire. The actions of Rogue Bravo were captured on video by one of its fighters, callsign "Uno." At 05:05, the fighters launched an assault from two directions, throwing grenades into the Russian positions and attempting to storm the fortification. However, they were met with heavy Russian fire. This marked the beginning of the operation's most difficult moments. - Rogue Alpha, which was attacking the fortification from the treeline, came under Russian machine-gun fire and lost two fighters (off-screen). The team leader, Bradley Carl Jennison, callsign "Super Dave," was shot in the chest and died at the scene. Reportedly, Simon Petrik Rajakisto, callsign "Rauta," was wounded in an open field and could not be evacuated due to heavy Russian fire, so he blew himself up to avoid capture. - 16:45 Somewhere around this time, Rogue Bravo fighters again attempted to enter the bunker but failed. - At 17:38 Canadian volunteer Mandeep Singh, callsign "Poet" moved into the open and was wounded by small-arms fire. His comrade, American volunteer Corey John Nawrocki, then attempted to reach "Poet" and drag him to safety under covering fire from the cameraman, but Russian fire killed both men. - 20:24 While attempting to help them, one of the fighters was wounded in the head, possibly in the neck area. With only two fighters remaining at the position, they decided to withdraw to the rear position where the second Rogue Bravo group was stationed and requested covering fire, but received no response. - 22:14 The fighters began retreating under Russian fire. Possibly due to communication problems, their comrades only began providing covering fire at the last moment. - 23:20 The fighters provided first aid to the wounded man and spent the next few minutes trying to contact Omega and Rogue Alpha to request covering fire for their withdrawal. - 32:17 Due to communication problems, the fighters were unable to contact their comrades. However, they spotted members of Omega Team in the treeline and decided to cross the open field directly in front of the Russian positions. - 33:07 The cameraman crosses the open field under Russian fire and enters the treeline. - 35:07 The fighters began retreating through the forested area as Russian forces pursued them. In addition to the difficult terrain, they also encountered barbed wire. One of the fighters got caught on the wire, forcing the group to stop for several minutes. - 42:11 The fighters eventually regrouped with other teams. - 1:10:30 After regrouping with other groups and resting briefly, the soldiers began their withdrawal toward Ukrainian territory. Rogue Team lost four fighters during the operation. 🛡 Bradley Carl Jennison, "Super Dave" - 🇺🇸 🛡 Simon Petrik Rajakisto, "Rauta" - 🇸🇪 🛡 Mandeep Singh, "Poet" - 🇨🇦 🛡 Corey John Nawrocki, "Corey" - 🇺🇸 Unfortunately, their bodies could not be recovered at that time.
