          Truly humanly, this is a bitter loss - both to relatives and friends, and to the country!

          And professionally - too! How much work and time were invested in them by parents, society and the country to make them professionals!
          And here again - and this is not the first for this year - a tragic loss!

          Our condolences to the families and friends of the victims, as well as to the servicemen of the unit in which they served!
