- 9 tanks;
- 12 IFV;

T-62M, BMP-1 and MTLB.
Image
Image
Another T-62M zr.2022. Was hit by a couple of FPV drones and, unfortunately, was evacuated later.
Image
Image
T-80BV was damaged and left. Then was destroyed.
It’s very important to destroy the left armour.

BTW, those T-62Ms were combat tanks. Not kamikadze.
Image
Image
One more T-80BV. Also was damaged and then destroyed.

Image
Image
Image
Two more extra photos of a previous one and new left T-80BV.

Image
Image
Image
Two left and then destroyed T-72B3M tanks.

Extra photo of a left T-80BV.

And two destroyed MTLBs.


Image
Image
Image
Image
One destroyed and one left BMP-1.

Image
Image
Image
Two left and one destroyed MTLBs. Yes, that black spot was a AFV.

And a funny story happened after👇

Image
Image
Image
Russian BMP-2 was driving and the driver somehow didn’t see the crater and U can see what happened. They tried to evacuate the BMP but didn’t manage to go far.
Image
Image
This shit was a little bit chaotic.

Do you see another black spot? Another MTLB disappeared.


Image
Image
Image
Image
MTLBs, BMP-2🤌


Image
Image
Image
Image
One more, the third one, modernised BMP-2. Image
One more MTLB (in the middle).

Damn, I remember when in this place there were 2 AFV. Right now when I right this post — 9.
Image
Image
And the last one — BAT-2. Just look at this piece of art.

BTW, since 10.10.23 RUAF lost only 5 combat ingeniring vehicles. They are really lack of them. And it’s good.

1/3

Today we were attacked by 9 BMD-2/4M. Only two of them managed to retreat.

With the help of mines my company stopped 2 BMD-2 and 1 BMD-4M (after that they were destroyed by FPV drones).

12.12.24 losses. 234 VDV regiment:

- 3 BMD-2;
- 4 BMD-4M;
- 1 IMR-2
👇
2/3

And it’s very funny to see how everyone thinks that FPV rules the way.

The rest of the column was stopped/destroyed by ATGMs. Only after that FPV drones started working.

In general, I see that approximately 10-15% of AFV were destroyed by FPV (I mean during the move).
3/3

Nevertheless, 10.12.24 was another attack by 237 VDV regiment.

Losses:
- 4 IMV;
- 1 BTR-D;
- 1 BMD-4M;
- 3 BMD-2

So for 2 days they have lost 12 AFV, 4 IMV and 1 IMR-2.

Very bloody battles are going on in Kursk oblast. After a failed attack at the first day of operation the enemy used a bare minimum in terms of using AFV at my flank and in the centre.

But today, 11.11.24, four attacks took place only in my flank.

Kursk update🧵
After a short brake Russians attacks continued.

What is going on in Kursk area is unique.

09.11.24, for example, they used 4 BMD-4M/BMP-3. Somehow they manage to reach out positions.

When they dismounted infantry they started retreating and one BMD-4M was destroyed by👇
Our tank. Somehow(!) our two tanks were coming back from the task.

Russians didn’t see them. Tanks also didn’t see the enemy. Only when RUAF dismounted 15 VDV stormtroopers one BMD was destroyed by a tank.

Russian counteroffensive in Kursk area has started.

As I said before, they expect to liberate their territory for 2 or 3 months. Let’s see whether it’s a realistic desire.

AFU expected that RUAF will launch an offensive two days ago at the 5th of November🧵
A couple of days ago they had a rotation in Любимівка and 51 regiment changed 137 regiment there (VDV).

A couple of days ago 810 marine brigade received 40(!) new BTR-82A.

And remember what I wrote before about reinforcement of 5500 soldiers at the left flank.
So today 51 regiment and 83 VDV brigade launched an attack at the left flank together with 810 marine brigade at the North (Кремянноє-Погрєбкі).

Using a bad weather conditions (fog and wind) they attacked with the help of AFV.

Photos from Ukrainian paratroopers from 79 brigade (we help them) from Kurakhove direction. Burning Russian MTLB.

This brigade is under massive enemy push since October 23. Right now the situation is close to critical because of the flanks of this brigade 🧵 Image
Image
Image
In front of 79 brigade there is 20 division. And here it’s very unusual structure:

- 10 tank regiment;
- SPR;
- 1219 infantry regiment;
- 255 mechanised regiment;
- 33 mechanised regiment;
- 242 mechanised regiment;
- 57 mechanised regiment.
Divisions from SMD received a lot of new BMP-3 from the factories. Due to the info from a company commander from 79 airborne brigade, Russians used BMP-3 and modernised BMP-2 for almost 3 months.

Right now they use «Tigers» and MTLBs (firstly for a long time): Image
