Points of attention

  • The Ukrainian Defense Forces stopped a column of Russian equipment heading towards the border with Ukraine.
  • The Ukrainian military eliminated two infantry fighting vehicles and damaged another vehicle as a result of joint actions with the State Border Guard Service.
  • Enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups use drones and artillery in incursions into the Ukrainian border.
  • Russian DRGs operate in difficult weather conditions, using air support equipment and artillery.
  • Protecting the Ukrainian border requires enhanced intelligence and effective cooperation between various military units.

Ukrainian military stopped a column of Russian equipment

As reported The State Border Guard Service, in the released video, shows Ukrainian military personnel eliminating Russian equipment with well-aimed strikes.

As a result of joint actions of the defenders, they managed to destroy two infantry fighting vehicles and damage another one, thwarting the enemy's plans.

The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine effectively protects the Ukrainian border and is an integral part of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.

Russian DRGs enter Ukraine under cover of drones and artillery

This was stated on television by Vadim Mysnyk, spokesman for the operational-tactical group of troops "Siversk".

Favorable conditions for DRGs are precisely the terrain that we have on the northern border, and they (the occupiers — ed.) like to operate precisely during difficult weather conditions. But it doesn’t quite work that way. Now the tactics of using DRGs are air support, there should be UAV reconnaissance, support with FPV drones and artillery. This is how DRGs work now.

According to him, the occupiers can launch diversionary strikes somewhere nearby to cover the DRG's actions with their fire. It also depends on what the enemy is planning.

This use is either to simply test our defenses, or to carry out some terrorist actions on the border against the local civilian population, or it is a prerequisite for certain offensive actions. The activity of using DRG depends on this.

He noted that last year, the key point was the use of FPV and strike drones. In particular, the border region has seen an increase in the use of fiber-optic drones.

If a few months ago they used the Shahed strike UAV in the dark, now it can be during the day and in the morning. They are currently very actively using such remote means of destruction. As for artillery, these are mortars, which are easier to relocate or camouflage.
