As stated in the department, during reconnaissance deep in the rear, a route was discovered for the supply of ammunition and food for the enemy’s mechanized brigade.
“We decided to leave the “secret” for surveillance together with the sniper. The point was chosen in a fold of terrain on a hill with a forest crossing, which made it possible to observe not only one road, but also an entire panorama of the area,” said a senior intelligence officer with the call sign Kesha.
According to him, in more than two days, in this way, the personnel, cars and armored vehicles that were working in the area of the populated area were revealed.
As the Russian military said, they intended to retreat to their group when a column of three lightly armored enemy wheeled trucks was spotted in the sector. Russian Armed Forces snipers stopped the convoy by shooting at the wheels and windows.
“The column slowed down, the shot was from a long range. The drivers thought that the tire had burst. Then our reconnaissance group acted, which went from the flank to the rear of the column and methodically threw grenades at the vehicles. They acted boldly and quickly. When heavy fire came towards us, the machine gunners responded and covered the retreat,” the press service of the Ministry of Defense quotes the words of the reconnaissance group commander with the call sign Buyan.
Among other things, in the Kupyansk direction, the crew of the 152-mm Giatsint-S self-propelled gun during a counter-battery fight destroyed the Grad multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
As the Ministry of Defense clarified, the footage received from the drone made it possible to verify that the target was hit. After firing, the artillerymen changed their firing position to a reserve position to replenish their ammunition and prevent return fire from the enemy.
In addition, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that attack aircraft crews on Su-25 aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed a concentration of enemy manpower and armored vehicles in the Krasnolimansk direction.
“The flight was carried out at extremely low altitudes using unguided aircraft rockets of the NAR S-13 type. When approaching the maneuver line, they performed a maneuver with further departure under the lower border of the enemy’s air defense coverage zone with a further return to the airfield and a soft landing,” the press service of the Ministry of Defense quotes one of the pilots.
The message notes that, in accordance with the report of the forward air gunner, all of the specified targets were successfully hit, and the flight proceeded as normal.
