The defense forces struck Russian army equipment on the Eastern front. The Russians lost not only vehicles but also infantry, the press service of the Third Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports.
Soldiers from the "PASKUDA GROUP" unit of the anti-tank battalion precisely hit Russian positions using strike drones.
"We took out enemy manpower and an entire fleet of vehicles: UAZ vans, a truck, an armored personnel carrier (APC), and a tank," the statement says.
The Ukrainian forces also targeted a civilian car filled with Russian soldiers, who, in panic, started fleeing in all directions, as well as an ammunition stockpile, which exploded with shockwaves, incinerating everything around it.
The footage of the accurate work of FPV drones by the Third Assault Brigade was shared in the video.
"Precise and rapid strikes on the enemy, leaving them no chance to flee or hide, were carried out by the soldiers," the Third Assault Brigade added.
What is UAZ van
The UAZ van (in spoken language "Bukhanka" or "Tabletka") is a family of vehicles produced by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant since 1966. The vehicle comes in versions such as a van, minibus, ambulance, and an all-wheel-drive truck.
The vehicle was developed with the Jeep Forward Control (1956–1965) in mind.
Carrying capacity: 800 kg.
Successes of Ukrainian soldiers
Recently, Ukrainian soldiers also struck at Russian logistics and communications in the Kupiansk direction. Soldiers from the Phoenix unmanned aerial systems unit of the Revenge Brigade destroyed 19 Russian trucks, two fuel and lubricant depots, and one with ammunition, as well as a Starlink satellite communications kit.
In addition, in the Kharkiv direction, border guards from the 4th Border Guard Detachment successfully used FPV drones to target enemy positions. Thanks to precise strikes, one vehicle, a mortar, a cannon, and three Russian positions were destroyed.
Meanwhile, pilots from the Black Raven unmanned systems battalion of the Kholodnyi Yar Brigade eliminated Russian military personnel and equipment under difficult conditions in the Kramatorsk direction. Drone operators destroyed a Russian IMR-1 obstacle-clearing vehicle, ammunition depots, a mortar, and enemy infantry.
