Russian Convoy Rolls Into Ambush—and Leaves in Pieces, Video

Ukrainian forces struck a Russian military convoy near Novohrodivka, damaging infantry fighting vehicles, cars, and transport trucks, the Special Operations Center “Omega” of the Ukrainian National Guard reported on July 30.

Omega released combat footage showing the Russian equipment being hit by operators from its XIII Legion and a specialized detachment tasked with countering enemy unmanned systems.

“The enemy convoy came under attack by Omega’s XIII Legion,” the unit said.

According to Omega, the strikes hit Russian BMP infantry fighting vehicles and several other vehicles moving through the area.

“After these hits, the enemy’s tin cans are unlikely to continue driving across Ukrainian soil,” the center added.

The released footage shows multiple vehicles in the column being targeted in succession, disrupting Russia’s movement of troops and equipment near Novohrodivka.

Earlier, Ukraine’s Defense Forces broke up one of Russia’s largest recent attempts at a massed tank breakthrough in the Dobropillia direction, destroying nine tanks, two armored vehicles, and three BM-21 Grad rocket launchers.
