In eastern Ukraine, the "Achilles" battalion of the 92nd separate assault brigade successfully targeted and destroyed two Russian TOS-1A "Sunstepek" heavy flamethrower systems, commonly known as "Sunflowers."

According to a report from Ukrinform, the Khortytsia operational-strategic troop group shared the announcement on Telegram, along with video footage of the attack.

Ukrainian pilots tracked the Russian vehicles as they moved and deployed kamikaze drones, resulting in a bright detonation that destroyed one system and damaged another.

The OSUV "Khortytsia" emphasized that, with skilled operators and well-prepared drones, Ukrainian forces can penetrate even the heaviest armor.

Since the beginning of the conflict on February 24, 2022, Russia's combat losses in Ukraine are estimated at approximately 705,880 personnel, with 1,580 losses reported in the last 24 hours alone.
