The video was published on the unit's official Telegram page. In this area, the Russians attempted a massive mechanized assault, involving a significant number of military vehicles and tanks. Thanks to the 3rd Mechanized Battalion's aerial reconnaissance, the military was able to detect the enemy equipment in a timely manner and quickly prepare to repulse the assault and destroy it.

FPV drones became the main means of defeating Russian military equipment, effectively hitting armored vehicles at considerable distances from Ukrainian positions. Thanks to the work of the operators of the 'Bulava' strike UAVs of the 3rd Mechanized Battalion and the 'Chimera' strike UAVs of the 20th Separate Special Operations Battalion of the Separate Presidential Brigade, enemy assault units began to suffer losses before they even approached the positions of the Ukrainian defenders.

FPV drone pilots from the 194th Pontoon and Bridge Brigade of the State Transport Special Service also participated in destroying the enemy. In total, the enemy suffered losses of 20 destroyed combat vehicles, including infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, trucks, and tanks.

As a reminder, a unit of the Separate Presidential Brigade has recently successfully stopped an assault by Russian troops in the Pokrovsk sector.

The 21st Separate Special Forces Battalion participated in fighting off the assault, working with the 46th Separate Airmobile Brigade and the 59th Separate Motorized Infantry Battalion.

Thanks to the military's successful actions, the enemy assault was stopped due to significant losses in armored vehicles.
