The 72nd Mechanized Brigade repulsed a Russian offensive in the Donetsk region

The Ukrainian military stopped the armored offensive of Russian invaders in the east.

On April 12, Russians engaged T-62M tanks and light armored vehicles with infantry in the assault.

To neutralize the enemy, the defenders used FPV kamikaze drones and UAVs with ammunition.

The video of the liquidation of the invaders’ equipment and infantry was shown in a Telegram.

Soldiers of the Attack Drone Company “Bulava” of the 72nd Mechanized Brigade named after the Black Zaporozhians were working.

At least one T-62M tank was equipped with a KMT-7 tracked mine trawl to overcome minefields.

Published footage from the Ukrainian military shows FPV drones taking turns hitting Russian tanks and other armored vehicles.

These drones, together with UAVs with ammunition, also eliminated Russian infantry trying to hide or escape.

According to Ukrainian defenders, one tank, probably a T-62M, and a motorcycle were destroyed, as well as 2 MT-LB tracked tractors, which Russians use as armored personnel carriers.

In addition, three enemy tanks were damaged due to the skillful actions of Ukrainian defenders.

The enemy also suffered losses in personnel: 8 invaders were reported killed and 15 wounded.

Recently, the Kyiv region handed over 600 FPV drones, including 100 with night vision, to the 72nd Mechanized Brigade named after the Black Zaporozhians. The drones were purchased at the expense of the regional budget.
