The Russian military destroyed a Dutch armored personnel carrier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of Konstantinovka

Fighters of the Southern Group of Forces of the Armed Forces (AF) of the Russian Federation destroyed an armored personnel carrier (APC) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) model YPR-765, which is manufactured in the Netherlands, in the Alekseevo-Druzhkovka area near Konstantinovka, Donetsk People's Republic (DPR). The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation showed relevant footage on June 29.

"Operators of FPV drones and unmanned systems destroyed a foreign-made armored personnel carrier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of the settlement of Alekseevo-Druzhkovka," the ministry said in a statement.

It is specified that the target was identified by the operators of reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of a separate motorized rifle unit of the Southern Group of Forces. They transmitted the established coordinates to their colleagues, who destroyed the detected object with an accurate hit.

The Russian Defense Ministry stressed that UAV operators continue to successfully carry out their assigned combat missions to defeat the Armed Forces of Ukraine, thereby minimizing the risks to their own units.
