Ukrainian Defenders Destroy Russian Aleut Swamp Buggy

The military of the Ukrainian Defense Forces destroyed the Russian GAZ-3344-20 Aleut arctic swamp buggy.

Militarnyi reported about this.

Footage of the invaders’ vehicle engulfed in flames was published in a video by the Special Operations Forces (SOF) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Russian rover was hit on one of the sections of the front or in the near rear of the enemy.

Ukrainian special forces do not disclose details of where and when the Aleut was destroyed.

It is also unclear from the SOF video exactly what kind of weapon hit the vehicle.

The footage only shows the vehicle in an open area near forest plantations. The next frame shows the vehicle burning.

Presumably, Aleut was hit by an FPV drone, but this is not known for certain.

Militarnyi reported another case of the destruction of a Russian GAZ-3344-20 vehicle, in March 2022.

The Ukrainian artillery then defeated the position of the Russian invasion forces that were disguised among the trees.
