The soldiers of the 14th Separate Mechanized Brigade halted the assault of the Russian invaders that involved armored vehicles in the Kupyansk sector. The brigade's press service shared a video of the operation on social media. A convoy of Russian infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) and tanks was detected by drones on the outskirts of Ukrainian positions.

However, the coordinated actions of the Brigade units stopped the convoy and inflicted losses.

In particular, one of the enemy combat vehicles exploded heavily, which was recorded by a Ukrainian drone.

This was either due to a kamikaze drone strike or an anti-tank mine explosion. After damaging several armored vehicles, Russian infantry landed and tried to gain a foothold.

However, Ukrainian attack drones and copters with dropped missiles began to actively work on it. The drone operators also finished off immobilized Russian armored vehicles.

"Several dozen invaders have been 'conquered' forever, and several pieces of equipment have turned into scrap metal," the 14th Brigade noted.
