Ucrânia destrói ônibus russo usado em operações militares nas linhas de frenteUkraine destroys Russian bus used in military operations on the front lines (X @wartranslated)

A drone from the Ukrainian Defense Forces destroyed a Russian bus used for military transport in the Kursk region.

The vehicle, a KAvZ-39765 model, was targeted in an operation that also hit other Russian equipment, including units from the Bombus group. Although it is not confirmed whether the bus was directly involved in assault actions, there have been reports of similar vehicles being used on the front lines.

The use of civilian buses for military purposes is a common practice among Russians, widely reported by the country’s own media. In 2024, for example, farmers from the Irkutsk region sent a modified bus to support soldiers in the war. Due to a lack of recent production, the army has also been restoring old vehicles, such as the KAvZ-39765 model itself, which has not been manufactured since 2008.

With major losses of armored vehicles, Russia has been improvising with alternatives like UAZ Bukhanka vans and civilian cars equipped with drone protection. Even so, these solutions have proven ineffective, as seen recently in Bahatyr, where most of the vehicles used in an attack were destroyed by Ukrainian forces.
