Confusion of 237th and 247th Regiment[edit]

The last sentence if the current version reads: "On September 9th, 2022, multiple news agencies reported the complete destruction of the unit during the Ukrainian counter-attack in the Kherson region." The following source is given as authority: https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/09/9/7366818/ Russias 237th Guards Airborne Assault Regiment no longer exists: soldiers either dead or wounded Ukrainian Intelligence. Now, what has the 237th regiment got to do with the 247th? Either, this is a wrong information in the article or the article is lacking an explanation of the connection between 237th and 247th. Based on my understanding, this is just wrong and should be removed from the article. There is/was a 237th airborne regiment as part of 76th Guards Air Assault Division, a completely different unit.
