In the Kurakhove direction, the occupiers launched a massive assault involving 13 units of armored vehicles. The column moving towards the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was almost completely destroyed.
This was reported by the 79th Separate Air Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Airborne Forces via Telegram on Monday, October 28.
Occupiers' attack repelled in Kurakhove direction
Tavriia paratroopers repelled a massive attack by the occupiers in the Kurakhove direction, destroying a total of 12 armored vehicles.
According to the military, the Russians are trying to break through the defense of the 79th Air Assault Brigade with sheer numbers. This time, 13 armored vehicles carrying infantry, four tanks, a Terminator tank support vehicle, and four motorcycles were deployed for the assault on the positions of the Ukrainian defenders.
"But instead of an assault, the occupiers fell into a real deadly carousel. Artillery, strike drones, anti-tank missile systems, mines — our paratroopers began to "take out" the Russians as if they were in a shooting range," the message states.
As a result, the soldiers of the 79th Air Assault Brigade destroyed:
- nine armored vehicles;
- two tanks;
- one BMP-T Terminator;
- four motorcycles.
Two more armored vehicles were damaged. Twenty-five occupiers were eliminated, and another 23 were wounded.
As a reminder, in the Kharkiv region, border guards tracked down and eliminated an occupier who was trying to establish a position near Vovchansk. Ukrainian forces struck the invader during the night.
Earlier, Novyny.LIVE reported that Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi showcased the skills of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and demonstrated how Ukrainian defenders destroy enemy equipment and strike enemy positions.
