Scouts of the Azov Brigade helped the gunners aim and adjust fire of an artillery battery. In the course of the strikes, the gunners damaged a Russian BAT-2 combat engineering vehicle, which was developed in Kharkiv during the USSR era.

BAT-2 is intended for mechanization of engineering operations during laying of convoy tracks, preparation and maintenance of military roads. The Russian KMV-20K manipulator crane on the basis of the KAMAZ 63501 truck was hit by artillery.
The manipulator installed anti-tank obstacles that should've stopped the advance of armored vehicles. A pontoon was also hit that should've helped the troops overcome river obstacles.

"Well-aimed shots eliminated the BAT-2, pontoon, as well as the manipulator that unloaded the "dragon's teeth," the brigade noted. Russians installed anti-tank obstacles in the Kreminna Forests near the village of Shypylivka, in the Luhansk region.
The site of defeat of Russian engineering equipment
In the occupied Kreminna and its environs there are many servicemen of the Russian army. Nevertheless, invaders reduced the pace of offensives on the Kupyansk-Svatove-Kreminna line.
Now the city of Kreminna is beginning to be transformed into a fortified area.
As previously reported, recently the Ukrainian military destroyed a large number of Russian soldiers who attacked Ivanivka in the Kharkiv region.
