In November 19, soldiers of the 79th Airborne Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed a Russian tank equipped with a mine plow and an infantry fighting vehicle (IFV).
Tanks with plows are used by Russia for mine clearance and obstacle removal on the battlefield.
Earlier, the 79th Air Assault Brigade destroyed a rare Russian “Terminator” tank support combat vehicle in the Kurakhove direction, Donetsk region.
The brigade successfully repelled a large Russian assault near Kostiantynivka, eliminating 25 Russian personnel and injuring 23. In total, Ukrainian forces destroyed nine armored vehicles, two tanks, and four motorcycles, while damaging two additional armored vehicles.
The Russian forces had deployed the “Terminator” to support their tanks and armored vehicles, using it to suppress infantry with dense fire.
Furthermore, the 79th Air Assault Brigade successfully repelled a massive Russian offensive in the Kurakhove direction, one of the largest since the full-scale war began.
The Russian forces launched a coordinated attack with 11 tanks, 45 armored vehicles, and a “Terminator” tank support vehicle, supported by 12 motorcyclists. Ukrainian forces, using drones, artillery, and anti-tank units, destroyed six tanks, seven armored vehicles, and all 12 motorcycles, while also killing 40 Russian soldiers and injuring 37.
The brigade’s strategic defense, including mines and coordinated strikes, played a crucial role in halting the Russian advance.
