The Russians lost 25 armored vehicles on a 300-meter stretch of road near the village of Novomykhailivka in the Donetsk region.
The soldiers of the 79th Separate Tavrian Air Assault Brigade of Mykolaiv released the video of the incident.
Destroyed and abandoned tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and armored personnel carriers based on MT-LB tracked tractors can be spotted on the road. A large number of dead Russian infantry is discovered around the equipment and in shelters near the road.
It is reported that the 255th and 33rd Guards Motor Rifle Regiments, the 1465th and 1219th Motor Rifle Regiments, and the 39th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade are conducting offensive operations near the settlement.

The 155th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade, the 139th Separate Motorized Rifle Battalion, and the 1442nd Motor Rifle Regiment face the “road of death.”
Militarnyi has repeatedly reported on the destruction of a large number of Russian vehicles by paratroopers of the 79th Air Assault Brigade near Novomykhailivka.
On December 11, there was information about a large number of infantry and equipment near the settlement.
In early October, it was reported that the paratroopers repelled a Russian armored attack, during which the Russians lost a large number of armored vehicles, including two T-72s and an IMR-2 engineering vehicle.

Militarnyi previously reported that soldiers of the Azov Brigade stormed one of the Russian positions and eliminated the invaders during the battle.
The video, which lasts 12 minutes, captures the events in a pine forest in the Luhansk region. The soldiers launched the assault in the dark and continued until dawn.
At least one of the invaders did not have time to react and was eliminated in his position. The video also shows a wounded Azov soldier who was quickly evacuated from the battlefield.
“It is magnificent, but it is not war.”
