During the reconnaissance of the occupied village of Robotyne, the Ukranian military discovered Russian tanks and other armored vehicles. They sent reconnaissance drones from the Ukrainian Volunteer Army's members for guidance. Then the 47th Mechanized Brigade went into action and hit a Russian tank.

The Russian tank burst into flames after being hit. The second part of the video from this direction showed a hit near a Russian position, probably by GMLRS missiles, which are used in the M270 and M142 HIMARS launch rocket systems.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to carry out an active counteroffensive in the Zaporizhzhia region. The 47th Brigade conducts counteroffensive actions in the direction of the Russian positions near the village of Robotyne.
