Ukrainian forces achieved a significant victory near the city of Kurakhove in the Donetsk region by repelling a Russian armored assault with the support of the Leopard 2A4 main battle tank and artillery from the 33rd Separate Mechanized Brigade.
The confrontation was captured in a video released by the brigade’s press office, revealing details of the combat action.
Russian troops attempted to advance into the territory near the village of Dalne, south of Kurakhove, using a column of tanks and armored vehicles leading infantry to the front line. However, as they approached Ukrainian positions, they were spotted and attacked by the crew of the Leopard 2A4 tank, operating in coordination with the brigade’s artillery.
Failing to achieve their initial objectives, Russian forces deployed their infantry under the cover of the forest. In response, Ukrainian drone operators launched an immediate offensive, destroying the enemy contingent with explosive charges.
According to information from the 33rd Separate Mechanized Brigade, the combat resulted in the destruction of two tanks, an armored personnel carrier, and three Russian armored combat vehicles. In addition to material losses, more than forty Russian soldiers were eliminated during the action.
This success represents a significant boost to Ukrainian defense in a heavily contested area and demonstrates the effectiveness of cooperation between ground and air combat units.
