The fighters of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade delivered a devastating strike on the forces of russia’s 4th Tank Division, which is part of the so-called "elite" Kantemirovskaya Division of the 1st Tank Army.
"Even at the crossing, under fire from Ukrainian artillery, the enemy lost two BMPs, which simply sank. Then FPV drones came into play, destroying vehicles on the move and forcing infantry to dismount prematurely. The occupiers came under artillery fire and drone-dropped munitions. The culmination of their failure was the destruction of a BREM ARV that had arrived to evacuate the lost equipment," the brigade's report states.
