The heroic history of defense of the airport lasted for more than three months. Only at the end of last summer, after a large-scale Russian invasion and when the Ukrainian paratroopers came at risk of being besieged, the 80th Airmobile Brigade left completely destroyed territory of the airport.<\/p>\n<p>The paratroopers` will to fight against the aggressor was not broken in the same fashion as the concrete walls of the Luhansk airport. Conversely, it has only strengthened. This was proved by the victorious path of the 80th Airmobile Brigade in clashes against the Russian army and its proxies. The tactics used for the defense of the airport were used in the battles for the city of Shchastya and the strategically important Bahmutska route that connects Lysychansk and Luhansk<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"mace-gallery-teaser\"\n\tid=\"mace-gallery-39397-1\"\n\tdata-g1-gallery-title=\"\"\n\tdata-g1-gallery=\"[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:39400,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;80-1&quot;,&quot;thumbnail&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2015\\\/08\\\/80-1-150x150.jpg&quot;,&quot;3-2-thumbnail&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2015\\\/08\\\/80-1.jpg&quot;,&quot;full&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/uacrisis.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2015\\\/08\\\/80-1.jpg&quot;}]\"\n\tdata-g1-share-shortlink=\"https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/en\/30533-80th-airmobile-brigade-heroes-of-the-luhansk-airport#mace-gallery-39397-1\"\n\t>\n\t<a class=\"mace-gallery-teaser-poster\">\n\t\t<img width=\"613\" height=\"409\" src=\"https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/80-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-bimber-grid-standard-2x size-bimber-grid-standard-2x\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/80-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/80-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uacrisis.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/80-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 613px) 100vw, 613px\" \/>\t\t<span class=\"mace-gallery-teaser-button\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"g1-epsilon g1-epsilon-1st mace-gallery-teaser-button-text\">View Gallery<\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"g1-meta mace-gallery-teaser-button-counter\">\n\t\t\t\t1 image\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/figure>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foundation In September 1993, the 39th Airborne Brigade was reformed in the 80th Separate Airmobile Regiment.
