Throughout April 2025, the Achilles 429th Regiment of the Ukrainian Land Forces scored 1,967 hits on enemy targets, destroying or damaging them, the unit's press service reported on social media. Operating along the hot fronts of Kupiansk and Dvorichna in the Kharkiv region, the regiment struck a wide array of russian assets: from reconnaissance drones like Supercam and Orlan-10 to self-propelled artillery systems, tanks, bridge-laying vehicles, and other armored equipment.
The russians, facing increasing shortages of armored vehicles, have begun resorting to combined assault tactics. These often involve convoys primarily made up of wheeled transport such as trucks, motorcycles, quad bikes, and even mopeds, signaling both desperation and adaptability.

Despite these evolving methods, the Achilles Regiment has continued to successfully target and eliminate not only vehicles but also russian electronic warfare systems, logistics routes, personnel positions, and manpower.
The Regiment also released a combat footage compilation showcasing April's most striking hits, five minutes of, as they described, "the wrath and justice of Ukrainian people."
As Defense Express previously reported, in April, the Raid 413th Battalion delivered a significant blow to russian military capabilities, neutralizing 11 enemy air defense systems in a single month. This targeted campaign included the destruction of five Buk-M3, two Buk-M2, and one each of the Buk-M1, Strela-10, Osa, and Tunguska systems.
