The feat of Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Danilov.

During the defense of the village of Malaya Loknya in the Kursk region, Danilov’s unit destroyed up to eight enemy reconnaissance groups, about a dozen infantry fighting vehicles and up to 15 Hummer vehicles, and one AFU serviceman was captured.

In August, fierce fighting took place in the area of Malaya Lokni. Our fighters repelled the attack of superior enemy forces.

The enemy had tightly encircled us, and we only had small arms ammunition and grenades available. Therefore, in order to inflict maximum losses on the enemy, he was forced to call fire on himself,

— says the lieutenant colonel.

Despite his injury, Danilov did not leave the combat zone, under his leadership, about three dozen people – civilians and conscripted military personnel – were able to leave the encirclement zone. People were saved without loss.

Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Danilov was awarded the title of Hero of Russia. He learned about this while being treated at the clinic of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, personally from the president.
