Ukrainian brigade's drone strike foils Russian assault near Avdiivka
A critical Ukrainian unit, the 47th Mechanized Brigade, showcased another recording from the front near Avdiivka. A drone struck an approaching BPW transporter belonging to a Russian assault group. This time, the Russian crew experienced minimal damage.
It's the 817th day of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Fierce battles continue in the Volchansk area, and bombings in Kharkiv persist. The British defense minister asserts that the coming weeks will be difficult. Meanwhile, Russian forces have moved their bombers to a distant base in the Murmansk region. Experts believe this relocation is due to concerns about potential Ukrainian attacks inside Russia. In Paris, there is an ongoing discussion about allowing the Ukrainian side to strike within Russian territory using weapons supplied by France. Intense fighting is also ongoing in the Avdiivka area, where Ukrainians are bravely defending themselves despite the increasing number of attacking Russian forces.
One of the most important Ukrainian units, the 47th Mechanized Brigade, showcased new footage from near Avdiivka. It shows a locally traversing Russian assault group being hit by a Ukrainian drone. The enemy crew was fortunate as the impact led to severe engine damage but did not cause a massive explosion.
Right after the strike, an assault group consisting of eight men quickly evacuated the smoke-filled transporter and fled in panic, leaving the uncrewed vehicle to travel the field on its own.
The military service Oryx, which counts visually confirmed Russian losses, reports that Russia has lost at least 15,878 aircraft, armored vehicles, cars, and various types of artillery in Ukraine.
