“The story of “Yaris,” an operator of Group Greek in the @lsc.official_ team. Yaris was part of a subgroup escorting prisoners. When they approached dense forest undergrowth, visual contact with the scout and group commander was lost. The enemy’s position was closer than they could imagine. Suddenly, a fierce gunfire erupted from both sides, and the situation instantly transitioned into blind contact. Yaris, along with the machine gunner, tried to assess the situation, but their views were chaotic. The fire came from unknown positions, so the machine gunner, known as “Mart,” couldn’t shoot to immediately suppress the enemy.
When “Marathon” was wounded, Yaris, not fully realizing the scale of the danger, took cover and rushed to him. He tried to help his comrade, unaware that directly in front of him, just five meters away, the enemy was already aiming at him. When shots were fired at him, Yaris began to cautiously retreat. However, the enemy gave him no chance-another bullet pierced his leg, but Yaris managed to crawl out of the line of fire. After that, his helmet took three hits from automatic fire, and each of these bullets could have been fatal, but according to Yaris, he was saved because the helmet wasn’t fastened with a chin strap. Yaris lost consciousness for a few seconds, as seen in the video, but quickly regained his senses. The situation that seemed hopeless suddenly became clear in his mind.
When Yaris recovered from the hits to his helmet, he quickly focused, gave orders to the machine gunner, who was providing suppressive fire. His calmness at that moment was crucial-his life and the survival of those still in the fight depended on it.
When the contact area was cleared, Yaris, with a heavy heart, saw the bodies of his comrades but also felt relief that they managed to accomplish the main task- returning the bodies of their comrades home. The prisoners, including enemy officers, were an additional victory, but Yaris’s real victory was that despite everything, he survived and saw his family again.
Now, his helmet with bullet holes serves as a reminder of how close death was.”
