Ukrainian forces have successfully eliminated another russian UR-77 Meteorit self-propelled mine clearing system, also referred to as Zmei Gorynich, on the battlefield. The system was destroyed by 79th Separate Air Assault Brigade.

According to reports, the russian UR-77 system was demolished near the town of Maryinka in the Donetsk region. It is likely that the Armed Forces of Ukraine finished off the abandoned enemy vehicle by remotely detonating grenades dropped from a drone.

The very first grenade resulted in a powerful and spectacular explosion. This strongly suggests that the russians left their Zmei Gorynich system not empty at all.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the inherent danger of being in close proximity to these vehicles while they are operational. A single drone strike can result in the destruction of both the vehicle itself and anything nearby.

According to Oryx, since the start of the full-scale invasion, the occupiers have lost a minimum of 30 such vehicles, with 17 of them being taken as trophies by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

However, it should be mentioned that that the occupiers are not only employing their UR-77 systems for their intended purpose, but also for striking civilian targets in the frontline zone.
