Sailors from the 810th brigade of the Russian Black Sea Fleet showcased the outcomes of an ambush against a convoy belonging to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the Kursk region, with footage distributed by RIA Novosti for viewers who want a closer look at frontline actions.
In their accounts, the crew described keeping assigned lines secure, layering ambushes, and establishing observation posts, while UAV teams operated around the clock to monitor movement, assess terrain, and coordinate fire support when opportunities arose. The narrative emphasizes disciplined planning, continuous surveillance, and the adaptability required during sustained, high-intensity patrols on the border zone.
According to one sailor, a Ukrainian Cossack armored vehicle was neutralized, and a Western-made Stryker armored vehicle sustained damage as a result of well-timed engagements and accurate fire, reinforcing the reported balance of power in the contested area and the effectiveness of combined arms tactics in this sector.
The Defense Ministry reported a separate operation in which Lancet munitions were employed in the Kursk border area to strike a Cossack armored vehicle, reinforcing claims of successful strikes and underscoring the ongoing use of precision munitions to disrupt enemy mobility and logistics in border zones.
Earlier, officials stated that units designated as the North Group of the Russian Armed Forces repelled Ukrainian assaults from four brigades in the Kursk direction within a 24-hour period, highlighting the intensity of counterattack operations and the resilience of defense lines in a critical sector.
On the same day, air defense systems claimed to have intercepted four Tochka-U missiles launched by the Ukrainian forces, illustrating the ongoing contest between air defense assets and ballistic missiles in the broader regional security dynamic.
