their artillery at the enemy tanks and opened fire from anti-tank missile systems, but this did not give an effective result - the tanks were maneuvering on the ground, which did not give them the opportunity to aim at them. At night, reconnaissance paratroopers identified two new Russian T-90 tanks. Having chosen a convenient moment, the Ukrainians once took aim with an anti-tank missile one of them, but the active armor on the enemy tank was activated, and the missile flew away from the armored car without causing any damage to it. All the artillery could do was to force the enemy to change positions frequently. In the area controlled by the 13th Airmobile Battalion, the enemy's infantry was pinned down and could not operate effectively, several Russian units were defeated. The militants did not manage to cut the road along which the Ukrainian units advanced - the exit corridor was secured. The ATO command managed to implement the plan to withdraw Ukrainian units from under the semi-encircled Debaltseve. On February 22, 2015, the paratroopers of the 13th Separate Airmobile Battalion returned to the point of permanent deployment after completing the task. During the period of departure, from January 17 to February 22, six soldiers did not return. Another 25 remained in hospitals.
