A large-scale battle took place in Kursk, units of the 47th separate mechanized brigade “Magura” together with neighboring Ukrainian defense forces resolutely repelled a massive assault by Russian troops. Our defenders burned enemy equipment worth tens of millions of dollars.
The relevant footage was shown by the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade. The video vividly demonstrates the results of this battle – the enemy suffered colossal losses in equipment and manpower.
Russian troops attacked in waves, using huge quantities of armored vehicles. The first columns consisted of tanks equipped with trawls to clear the passages.
In total, the assault took place in six waves, and the enemy tried to break through the defenses with tanks, infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), armored personnel carriers (APCs), and light buggies. It is estimated that up to 50 pieces of equipment were involved.
However, all units of “Magura” acted in a coordinated and effective manner. Ukrainian military forces burned armored vehicles worth tens of millions of dollars.
It is noted that tanks, BMP-2, BMD, APCs, as well as Lancet kamikaze attack drones were destroyed in the fighting. Forty-five Russian soldiers were killed, and another 53 occupiers were wounded.
“We will continue to hold the line!” the Ukrainian defenders emphasized.
As a reminder, Ukrainian intelligence officers successfully destroyed a Russian artillery position in the Zaporizhia direction. The operation was carried out by fighters of the “Kryla” special forces unit from the Department of Active Operations of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
It was previously reported that as a result of targeted drone strikes, GUR fighters destroyed enemy electronic warfare equipment. The enemy also suffered personnel losses as a result of fire damage.
As OBOZ.UA reported, the Russian occupiers have increased the share of attack UAVs with a fiber-optic control channel. In turn, the Ukrainian military is quickly responding to new realities and has also begun using fiber-optic FPV drones.
