🧵I created an interactive Google Map showing all 15 vehicles (14 trucks and 1 rescue 'Bukhanka') from the Russian military convoy destroyed by Ukraine last night near Rylsk, Kursk Oblast. Multiple dead bodies can be seen inside the trucks. google.com/maps/d/u/0/edi…

The Yandex.Mirrors dashcam snapshots collection from 2021 was used for geolocation, which I tried to make as precise as possible. However, I may have missed a few meters here and there – apologies in advance for any inaccuracies. yandex.ru/maps/-/CDcoa4JD

Rescue team 'Bukhanka' and trucks 5-7:

Tactical markings allow to identify vehicles from the convoy destroyed neat Rylsk as part of the 'Border Covering Group.' Sources say Russia used these troops to form the 'North' Military Group for the Vovchans'k offensive in May 2024. h/t @pustota vz.ru/opinions/2024/…

Lucky are those who had escaped.
