Russian forces reported successful strikes against Ukrainian armored units, claiming the destruction of sheltered assets as part of ongoing frontline actions. The agency shared that scouts from the Western Military District located Ukrainian armored vehicles within a fortified bunker. In response, the crew operating a T-72B3 tank fired the 125 millimeter 2A46M5 cannon, targeting the launcher and associated equipment, reportedly disabling multiple fortifications in the area.
A tank company commander, who goes by the nickname “Success,” stated that aerial reconnaissance identifies targets that pose significant risk to infantry on the defensive line. According to his account, these targets are promptly abandoned then destroyed. He noted that the crew conducts missions up to three times daily and can eliminate as many as five targets in a single sortie, depending on the terrain and visibility.
Earlier, a Telegram channel affiliated with military observers associated with the Russian spring claimed that multiple launch rocket systems returned fire against Ukrainian forces, reporting the destruction of a military convoy near the town of Chasov Yar, close to Artemivsk, known in Ukrainian as Bakhmut. The report suggested this action was part of a broader series of operations intended to disrupt Ukrainian supply routes and weaken defensive positions along the contested front line. The statements from these channels reflect the ongoing narrative of intensified battlefield activity and the emphasis on rapid harassment and attrition in a shifting tactical environment.
