UA Drone Picks off Stragglers After Failed Assault
Published 1 years ago
Drones of the Perun Group of Ukraine’s 79th Air Assault Brigade hunt down stragglers after a failed Russian attack. The footage shows disabled MT-LBs, the El Camino of armored personnel carriers, sporting cope cages, as well as at least one tank. Drones begin to drop munitions near the APCs, targeting the infantrymen they carried. At least one wounded Russian can be seen crawling next to his vehicle. Another Russian is shown cowering behind his APC, and next to him is an anti-tank mine, and given that the MT-LBs seem to have thrown tracks, it is reasonable to assume that mines played a role in the debacle. Since the second week of October, the Russian Army has launched wave after wave of costly assaults for minimal gains in an effort to divert Ukrainian combat power from their offensives elsewhere along the front. Though a few Ukrainian brigades have reinforced hot spots like Avdiivka, and the pace of the Ukrainian offensive has slowed, Russian losses have negated any potential value that they might have gained from these attacks.
