 Anti-retreat snipers drive Russian 155th Marine Brigade to meet assaults. The 155th Marine Brigade is perhaps the most unsuccessful unit of Russian troops in almost two years of full-scale invasion, Forbes reported. The brigade was sent several times to storm the fortifications of the armed forces of Ukraine, it suffered significant losses and was later renewed. In March 2022, the 3,000-strong brigade suffered 20% of the losses during the battles near Chenehiv. Eight months later, in November, the reconstituted brigade was losing about 100 people daily during the assault on the Ukrainian garrison in Pavlyfka-Donetsk region. Three months later, the brigade was deployed north under Volodar. They managed to capture several quarters of the Ukrainian stronghold in February 2024 due to the fact that Russian snipers left the marines no choice but to move forward. Now, the unit is trying to capture Novomoj Kailivka, Donetsk region, where the 116th Brigade of the Territorial Defense Forces and the 79th Air Assault Brigade are based. According to journalists, the brigade is used as a consumable. On the published record, the Russian military complains that they are used as meat. The attack in Novomoj Kailivka is a one-way ticket, Russian marines said. The 155th Brigade stumbled upon minefields and fell into the impact zones of drones when moving along the main road to Novomoj Kailivka from the east. During February, several dozen tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, MT, LB, tracked armoured fighting vehicles and presumably dozens of servicemen were lost. One of the three assault groups, approximately 10 men each, was destroyed. Only three survived. The wounded were not evacuated, the occupiers say in the video. As a result, the 155th seized several quarters on the eastern outskirts of the settlement, approximately 10% of the total area. The marines marched forward only because they had no other choice. During recent assaults, the brigade was followed by a so-called anti-retreat detachment with snipers who were ordered to shoot at the retreating.
