Ukrainian forces operating in the area of responsibility of the 7th Rapid Response Corps of the Air Assault Forces destroyed several armored vehicles that the enemy currently rarely uses on the front line.
The occupying forces risked deploying an infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) and an armored combat vehicle (ACV) to the front line. According to the corps, the appearance of such equipment on the battlefield is currently a rare occurrence. Most likely, the enemy was trying to "test" the strength of the Ukrainian defensive line and probe the kill zone.
"However, thanks to the precise coordination between aerial reconnaissance and strike assets, the enemy’s 'boxes' were quickly detected and destroyed," the 7th Air Assault Corps said.
In a video posted on the corps’ page, a drone operated by the 92nd Separate Assault Brigade named after Ivan Sirko spectacularly destroys a Russian IFV. Meanwhile, pilots from the 225th Separate Assault Regiment strike an enemy armored combat vehicle.

Over the past two months, fighters from the Apachi UAV unit of the 81st Separate Slobozhanshchyna Air Assault Brigade, part of the 7th Rapid Response Corps of the Air Assault Forces, have managed to cut off Russian army logistics in the operational rear in the Sloviansk direction. Prolonged Ukrainian drone attacks have led to an ammunition shortage among Russian forces on the front line.
It was also previously reported that the 7th Air Assault Corps is already shooting down jet-powered Shaheds.
