Russian Armor Stays In ATGM Kill Zone, Suffers Losses
Published 2 years ago
A Ukrainian drone records a patrol of three Russian armored fighting vehicles as they enter a pre-planned ambush site. The lead vehicle is knocked out by a reported Stugna-P anti tank guided missile, and the two following vehicles stop in their tracks.
It's unclear why the other vehicles remain in the kill zone motionless. It's possible they thought the lead vehicle struck a land mine. However, the hits keep coming, and the vehicles refuse to leave the area. The follow vehicle did, at one point, dismount infantry into the woodline, possibly to provide nearby flank support, or just to abandon the vehicle before it is also struck.
