Can confirm Ukrainian armed forces destroyed an armoured convoy of 13 tanks and APCs 48 hours ago near Irpin. Visual confirmation to follow.

Here’s the first four

Another four

Another four - one more to come later, phone died on me

To make life easier for the OSINT guys, here is a dropped pin on that destroyed convoy, just south of the village of Zabuchchya, on the outskirts of Irpin

Stand up from the location:

And here’s a walkthrough of the devastation, there were several more tanks and APCs discovered a few hundred yards from here

Soldiers on scene told us that the ambush had taken place 48 hours ago, one of the APCs was still smouldering, even after 2 days of rain. Soldiers say they had removed 8 Russian corpses from the battlefield yesterday.

There were still several corpses inside these vehicles, charred beyond recognition and impossible to identify. There were no destroyed Ukrainian vehicles anywhere in the vicinity.

If I had to hazard a guess, I would say these vehicles were heading north when they were ambushed, which would be the direction of retreat from the E-40/M-06 highway. The highway is now back under full Ukrainian control.

There were no audible sounds of artillery, shelling or any other kind of combat for miles around. The Russians have fully retreated from this area.

Will upload that final APC to this thread once I get it sent to me by a colleague.

That’s all for today folks, if you’ve found my reporting useful and want to support my work out here, PayPal contributions are always greatly appreciated. Thanks 🙏🏽

As promised - number 13.

Ukrainian MOD published a video yesterday claiming this column was destroyed by 2 Ukrainian tanks.
