The press service of the 47th Brigade published a video on the issue. The Russian manpower and armored vehicles were defeated by different means, such as cannon fire, mines, and FPV drones. It should be noted that the brigade inflicted the greatest losses on the enemy in IFVs, which were actively involved in assault attempts and transported personnel to the front line.

The enemy also suffered heavy losses in armored personnel carriers, losing 18 vehicles. This high number of losses was due to several factors.

First of all, the enemy launched an assault using armored personnel carriers without prior engineering reconnaissance, leading to a significant percentage of military equipment being lost to mines. Tank losses amounted to 13 units, including three T-90 tanks that were destroyed using FPV drones and artillery. The enemy also lost other equipment in this sector:

• 11 MT-LB;
• 2 buggies;
• 1 KamAZ truck.

Despite the activation of Russian troops in other areas, the Pokrovsk sector remains quite tense.

The enemy continues to attempt to occupy the positions of Ukrainian defenders, which is why its losses over the past month amounted to 494 killed soldiers, not including the wounded.
