The Covert Unit Fighting Russia on the Dnieper River

The 73rd Naval Center of Special Operations, a secretive SEAL-like unit, is leading the fight against Russia in the islands, marshes, and inlets of the Dnipro delta near Kherson, Ukraine. The unit, which is structured on roughly the same lines as a US Navy SEAL Team, has been conducting riverine raids against Russian positions along the Dnipro River, including reconnaissance missions on the Kinburn Spit. The unit could play a significant role in future large-scale fighting, particularly if Ukraine's military launches major attacks in the south.
