Most unparalled military achievements in history?
Azov battalion (Battle of Mariupol)
>humiliated one of the top three military giants on Earth (no. #1 nuclear giant, and a rogue one at that, not to mention a modern army)
>threw off their invasion entirely, freeing up space for a counteroffensive in the south by pinning down 27 tactical battalion formations, an entire air force and navy with just a battalion and one or two companies, encircled by thousands of kilometers, no logistics or backup, getting blasted land, air and sea 24/7 for 3 months straight with a minimal loss rate for both the defenders and civilians, who were mostly evacuated even despite Russian blockades, sometimes even resorting to sidearms and melee, enough to cause morale collapses along the frontlines on enemy forces AND lived to tell about it (their commanders were later freed in prisoner swaps and are still kicking their ass) + inflicted heavy losses on Russian SOF + DNR/LNR + Akhmat + Wagner Group (7500 KIAs/WIAs as of Apr. 15th, which accounted for 15% of all battlefield losses for Russia at the time of that figure). Any other siege, like Vukovar for example, all the civilians and defenders died off, and they didn't even have half the odds Azov did! And add Kinzhal hypersonic missiles β basically tactical nukes!
>battle was a stalemate β Russia won tactically, but at a cost, and Ukraine won strategically, because they still have black sea access, Russia was blocked from creating a land bridge, and the UAF was able to predict and time their response, thus fumbling their invasion, combined with the battle of Kyiv when the VDV became wormfood at Hostomel airport (and that's the most elite unit in the Russian SOF!)
>Russia used up basically all their guided weapon arsenal by the end of the battle while hastily trying to kill the defenders off using everything they had, unguided artillery, drones, tanks and ballistic missiles, reducing themselves to Hamas status, and only accomplishing the destruction of a bunch of buildings, for the most part
