Ukraine gains tactical success near Robotyne

The Ukrainian military had a tactical success in the direction of the village of Robotyne, Zaporizhzhia region.

Hanna Maliar, Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine, announced this.

Now the Defense Forces of Ukraine continue to conduct an offensive operation in the Melitopol and Berdyansk directions.

There, the enemy concentrates its main efforts on defense.

The Ukrainian soldiers have to deal not only with mines, but also with concrete engineering fortifications.

“In the direction of Mala Tokmachka, Robotyne of the Zaporizhzhia region had tactical success, they are entrenched at the achieved boundaries,” said Maliar.

Soldiers of the 47th Mechanized Brigade are operating near the occupied settlement.

Today, the brigade showed a video featuring the destruction of a tank in this settlement. The armored vehicles were monitored using a drone.

“The video shows an enemy T-72 tank. One accurate hit and the tank turns into scrap metal,” the brigade commented on the video.

The brigade also added that they are now confidently moving forward in the direction of Zaporizhzhia and inflicting losses on the enemy’s manpower and equipment.

The defense lines further south of Robotyne are likely to be worse manned than these forward positions, given that Russian forces likely had to draw on a significant portion of their available forces to man the first line of defensive positions north and east of Robotyne.

As previously reported, to advance in this direction, the 47th Brigade actively uses American M2A2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles.
