The Nemesis 412th Regiment has successfully targeted and destroyed russian tank belonging to the 4th Guards Tank Division, known as the Kantemirovskaya Division, near the town of Svatove in Luhansk region. This area, located deep behind the frontline, serves as a key staging ground for russian assaults toward Kupiansk.
Open-source intelligence confirms the presence of the 4th Division in the region. Notorious for its actions during the start of the full-scale invasion, the division played a role in russia’s failed attempt to seize Sumy region. There, it gained infamy for war crimes and looting before being defeated by Ukraine’s 93rd Mechanized Brigade near Trostianets.

Despite its earlier losses, the division has since regrouped and returned to offensive operations. Its arsenal is centered around T-80 tanks and their variants, which have been redeployed from their permanent base in Naro-Fominsk, over 700 kilometers away, only to be destroyed by Ukrainian bombers.
The strike underscores Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to disrupt russian offensive capabilities at operational depth, even targeting so-called elite units of the russian military.

As Defense Express previously reported, the Nemesis 412th Regiment bomber drones have significantly altered the russian approach to overcoming natural water barriers.
The deliberate destruction of key bridges and crossings has forced the adversary to abandon traditional methods and explore other tactics. In response, russian forces have resorted to using boats and small craft to navigate the rivers that stand as formidable barriers to their advance.
