The video, released by the OSINT Technical profile on the X platform, originated from the area around Stepove in the Avdiivka region. It features two Russian BTR-80s spaced several dozen yards apart, simultaneously triggering TM-62 mines. This led to the synchronized detonation of these machines belonging to the Russian Federation.
Russian forces recently lost an A-50, a significant asset
The biggest setback for the Russian air forces occurred on February 23. That day, over the Sea of Azov, Ukrainian forces successfully downed a Russian A-50 long-range radar detection airplane, marking it the second such loss.
All ten crew members aboard the aircraft perished. The team included five majors, three captains, a warrant officer, and a lieutenant, as reported by Ukrainian Pravda, referencing a Ukrainian military intelligence source (HUR).
This incident dealt a significant blow to the Russian air forces, stripping them of one of their key assets.
