Paratroopers of the 79th Brigade neutralized 12 Russian infantrymen, a tank and an APC

Soldiers of the 79th Separate “Tavrian” Air Assault Brigade destroyed a Russian tank and an armored vehicle.

The brigade’s press service released the video.

It is reported that the enemy was met on the outskirts by artillery, and then soldiers and attack drone operators joined the battle.

The Russian tanks were equipped with powerful counter-drone protection, and a converted MT-LB tracked tractor was used as an armored personnel carrier.

Militarnyi reported on such improvised ersatz armored personnel carriers back in late 2023: APCs are created by handicraft expansion of the MT-LB landing compartment.

As a result of an unsuccessful assault attempt, the enemy lost a tank and an armored vehicle with troops, 12 invaders were killed and the same number were wounded.

Paratroopers detail that the only surviving tank escaped from the battlefield.
