The Brigade's press service published a video of their destruction. The enemy used five armored vehicles for the assault: two tanks and three infantry fighting vehicles with troops inside, which were timely detected by the unit's aerial reconnaissance. Before approaching the enemy's landing target, the infantry fighting vehicles were attacked by the military, but not very successfully.
Already at the site of the rush, when the enemy infantry started to abandon their combat vehicles, the brigade's drone operators began to operate drones with munitions. The enemy's attempt to save and disguise the combat vehicles failed, leading to their destruction by drone strikes.
First, the enemy lost an infantry fighting vehicle, and then a tank was destroyed. Both units were completely destroyed beyond repair. The enemy personnel, who were thrown into the battle, were unable to maneuver and attack due to the loss of equipment.
They tried to hide in the forest, where a significant part of them was also eliminated by drone strikes.

A convoy of Russian infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) and tanks was detected by drones on the outskirts of Ukrainian positions.
One of the enemy combat vehicles exploded violently, which was recorded by a Ukrainian drone.
This was either due to a kamikaze drone strike or an anti-tank mine.
After damaging several armored vehicles, Russian infantry landed and tried to gain a foothold.
