Russian military told about the advance in the Svatovo-Kupyansk direction

Servicemen of the "West" group of troops destroy positions and manpower of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) with the help of equipment assembled by engineers on the front line in the Svatovo-Kupyansk direction in Kharkiv Region. The Russian military told Izvestia about their work in the special operation zone.

Thus, a ground robot-kamikaze with anti-tank mines on board, corrected from a drone raised in the sky, eliminated an enemy stronghold. In addition, Russian drones destroyed American and Canadian armored vehicles in the AFU hangar.

"Driven to the enemy point on fiber optics, radio-controlled. In terms of speed this machine on rough terrain - 5-10 km / h, and on flat has 25 km / h speed. It burns down a stronghold at once," said the commander of the combat group of the engineering unit of the "West" group of troops with the call sign Batya.

In the combat zone, military units move on a multi-purpose tractor-tractor light armored vehicle (MTLB), it delivers them directly to artillery positions.

"Classy, of course, is the MTLB transport, or, as its fighters call it affectionately, a motorcycle. It develops speed up to 60 km/h on the highway. But its main advantage is not speed, but cross-country ability," said Izvestia correspondent Dmitry Zimenkin.

The Russian Armed Forces continue to expand the bridgehead on the right bank of the Oskol River for further offensive. The enemy's defense cannot stop the offensive of Russian troops, so the Ukrainian authorities have already cut off the gas supply to settlements 16 km from the front line and urged civilians to evacuate.
