The video, circulating on social media, shows the lead Russian armored vehicle being hit by a mine, initiating a domino effect of destruction. After this initial strike, confusion set in among the Russian troops, culminating in the last vehicle of the column being taken down by a drone.
The situation escalated quickly as the remaining armored vehicles became targets of drones and were attacked by Ukrainian automatic cannons. The effectiveness and precision of these attacks are evident in images that reveal at least seven carcasses of destroyed Russian armored vehicles, remnants of previous assault attempts in the same area.
The video and images, widely shared on platforms such as Telegram (t.me/aerobomber) and Twitter (@GwarWorin), highlight the tenacity and strategic capability of the Ukrainian forces in a zone that, despite being classified as “very calm”, continues to be a stage for intense confrontations.
