Bear in mind that the action at the Antonov Airport was undertaken by a handful of companies from the 31st VDV Brigade and the 45th Spetsnaz VDV Brigade, which in any case were not totally annihilated as at least a part of their servicemen retreated to the woods near the airport during the evening of February 24. The vast majority of the losses occurred during the rest of that week and the following ones in and around Irpin, Hostomel, Bucha and Moschun - where the rest of the 31st VDV Brigade and BTGs from the 76th, 98th and 106th VDV Divisions were committed, bearing the brunt of the fighting and therefore of the human and material losses.
