"Once again, the Russians failed in the Kurakhove sector: six units of destroyed and damaged equipment. One tank and five infantry fighting vehicles of the Russian invaders will remain rusting in the steppes of Ukrainian Donbas forever," the 46th Airmobile Brigade emphasized.
All available means of fire damage were used to repel another attempted Russian assault. "The synergy of all means of combined fire support (artillery systems, FPV drones and UAVs) of the 46th Airmobile Brigade did not allow the enemy to achieve any results. And once again, they eloquently proved that it is not worth attacking our positions!" the 46th Airmobile Brigade said.
