‘Vismuth’: The Unbreakable Assault Trooper Who Defied Drone Strikes in Bakhmut
Dmitry Korchev, known by his callsign 'Vismuth', is a 47-year-old warrant officer serving in the 27th Guards Sevastopol Motor Rifle Brigade. His three years as an assault trooper have been marked by resilience, quick thinking, and repeated acts of bravery under fire.
