The Tauride Brigade defeated a Russian offensive armored group in the Donetsk region.
The military of the 79th Air Assault Brigade reported that the invaders were attacking their positions.
Three Russian infantry fighting vehicles with troops, accompanied by a tank for cover, launched an attack.
The Russian tank immediately exploded on mines, and one infantry fighting vehicle with a full ammunition package was hit by a Ukrainian FPV drone operator.
A hit to the ammunition caused a detonation, and the vehicle was torn apart.
The other two Russian armored vehicles stopped the attack and left the battlefield.

Then the Ukrainian military began to eliminate the invaders from the damaged vehicles using attack drones.
“There was a spectacular hunt for the invaders who managed to leave the burning vehicles by our attack drone operators,” the paratroopers said.
The Russian command has been trying to seize the positions of the 79th separate air assault brigade near the villages of Kostyantynivka and Paraskoviivka for a long time.

Recently, the brigade’s paratroopers defeated one of the largest ever assault groups of the invaders, which tried to break through the defense in the Kurakhove direction.
At that time, the occupiers simultaneously engaged about two hundred infantrymen, 11 tanks, 45 armored combat vehicles with troops, and 1 Terminator tank support vehicle.

Despite such assaults, the paratroopers continue to hold their positions near the village of Kostyantynivka in the Donetsk region. The village has been almost completely wiped out in heavy fighting.
