Ukrainian forces recently halted a Russian assault near Pogrebki in the Kursk region.
One After The Other
In a dramatic counterattack, they destroyed 15 Russian military vehicles, largely armored personnel carriers (APCs), along with an additional vehicle.
Footage of the strike, published on the Telegram channel "Be or," captured APCs being hit one after another as Ukrainian troops fought to repel Russian advances, according to Digi24.
APCs, also called armored personnel carriers, are typically equipped with light machine guns and designed to transport infantry across active combat zones.
They’re built to shield troops from gunfire and explosions, providing mobility and limited firepower in rough or dangerous areas. APCs can weigh around 13 to 15 tons and are usually protected with reinforced steel or aluminum armor.
Many Russian models, like the BTR-80, can carry up to seven to nine soldiers and reach speeds of about 50 miles per hour on open roads.
Hit Landmines Moving Forward
According to reports, Ukrainian forces used aerial drones to strike some of the APCs.
Other vehicles hit landmines as they moved forward, adding to the casualties.
The assault is believed to have taken place on November 7, targeting equipment likely linked to Russia's 810th Naval Infantry Brigade.
This Russian brigade is known for its armored strength and has been involved in major assaults throughout the conflict.
Despite Russia’s resources in the Kursk region, it has struggled to make notable progress, partly due to strong Ukrainian defenses.
Russian sources say some of their troops in the region have become isolated, with supply routes cut off. Surrounded on multiple sides, these forces are adopting defensive formations.
The surrounding villages remain under full Ukrainian control, countering earlier Russian claims that the areas had been “liberated.”
