Russian drones and attack helicopters have been targeting Ukrainian tanks, troops, and armored vehicles taking part in the incursion into Kursk Region, according to videos published by the Defense Ministry in Moscow.

Several thousand troops crossed the Russian border earlier this month, in a move that Moscow has described as an act of terrorism. Russia has responded with intense air and artillery strikes against the invaders.

“Losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the day have been more than 330 service members and 27 pieces of equipment, including four tanks, an IFV, three armored transports, 19 armored vehicles, eight vehicles, two artillery pieces, and three mortars,” the Russian military said in a statement on Monday.

Videos released by the Russian Defense Ministry show the continued destruction of Ukrainian forces in Kursk Region.

The first 20-second clip shows a tank still on its transport truck being spotted by a reconnaissance drone and destroyed by a Lancet loitering UAV.

Another video, also 20 seconds in duration, shows a Ukrainian armored personnel carrier positioned on a highway in what appears to be a roadblock. A Lancet strike set the APC ablaze, while the startled Ukrainian infantry scattered.

The third video of the day shows Mi-28 attack helicopters (NATO reporting name ‘Havoc’) taking off to fire rockets at both armored units and personnel of the invaders.

According to the Russian military, the helicopters used 9K121 Vikhr (Whirlwind; NATO reporting name ‘AT-16 Scallion’) guided missiles to carry out their mission successfully.

Russian air and missile strikes have been targeting Ukrainian troops both inside Kursk Region and in their rear, in Ukraine’s Sumy Region. According to Moscow, elements of the Ukrainian 22nd, 61st, and 115th Mechanized brigades, 80th and 82nd Assault brigades, and the 103rd and 129th Territorial Defense brigades, have been involved in the incursion.

Botragelad:

Most are worn out, some are dead, the morale is hardly there.

I kept saying this... Russia is overrated. How can this country face the US and NATO militarily and financially during a war? 😂 😂 😂

Botragelad:

Why won’t the morale die? There are no proper logistics for the fighters. I once kept saying it on this forum that wars are funded with money and Russia isn’t capable for such. But pro Russia and Putin bots like WriterNg or WriterNig kept spewing trash. Kids with low IQ

This war is not even up to 4 yrs and the soldiers are already demoralized. But America fought in Afghanistan for several years funding and pumping money for logistics. That’s to show you what a true World Power is all about

This kind matter pass us oooo
No be wertin Dem tell us from the start be dis oooooooooooooooo

Gbadugbakun:
Starting this war wasn't necessary. Putin played into the hands of the West

Exactly! That’s a why they were the First Nation to leak the intel that Russia was about invading Ukraine which Russia denied as at that time.

Putin was so foolish to play into the hands of the west and the west will keep him busy and drained with this war till he fans out.

Krismas:
America no get any resources pass Russia. If u go Sheraton, they can sell Coca Cola for u at N2000, which for go-slow, it’s not more than N400. America weapons are foolishly overpriced. One missile na $2million for America which Houthi go use 2thousand USD make. Private arms company are just fleecing the American taxpayers. Finish.

for real, sense is so expensive. How to know an Islamic terrorist, just hate American and the west and burn American flag.

The same west the terrorist look to for help in times of conflict

A terrorist will aways be a terrorist. America will always be your master till the end of this world. Know this and peace.

Kingkamba:
OKAY. DON'T WAKE THE RUSSIAN BEAR

😂 😂 😂 u mean they have been asleep all these while? They must be a hibernating bear if so. Nonsense!!

MT:


Then you do not understand what "sovereignty" is all about.

I should not be having this discussion with you.

You seem not to be well informed.

Most of them here are kids with low IQ claiming to be master war strategists

They way you analyze things is so freaking funny. You boldly defend rubbish whenever it comes to Russian matter. All those shit you typed there how does it affect the fact that it doesn’t stop the US to possess any weapon they want despite the cost?

Don’t be a clown son

frankadrian:


Russia will not dare it. They know it. Yes, NATO will be hesitant to take on Russia. Na only fool and terrorist Muslims dey rush into fight without thinking of the costs, but if Russia try use nuclear weapon, all bets are off. Nobody will stand by and watch you try and destroy the world. Even China will nuke Russia if Russia try am.

Nobody will stand by and watch you try and destroy the world.

Exhactly the point why Putin won't use nuke.
India and China Moscow allies are working towards economic expansion, not armed race.

To be honest, if not demonic influence, I don't see the benefits of invading Ukraine in the first place.

NATO countries relies on your gas and still trade with Russia, but Putin just assumed same NATO will take over Ukraine and invade Russia. I believed Putin's is balkanized Russia

Tealcrestmedia:


You've not heard of military mobile bridges? Unless they think they're in 1912.

No bro, military mobile bridges can not work on this river. The water is deep with high current and most importantly it to wide to use military bridge vehicles.

The only viable option in this case is to build phatoon bridges across the river. But then it can be targeted and destroyed by the Ukrainians

Dream25:

Ukraine is not looking for a favourable position, they're looking for cheap PR...

It's senselessness that'll make you invade a country as big as Russia with just few thousands troop..

What can they negotiate with those small land?...
Russia is busy advancing in Donbass while Ukraine is deceiving itself in Kursk.. Misplaced priority..

Look at the map below and tell me the favourable position they're looking for..

Putin's bot.... You guys can say all the rubbish you want.... What a military war analyst

nedu666:


So Russia submarines, icmb are for decorations. That is how you people said Russia was fighting with shovel, Russia has run out of missile, 1 million Russian soldiers have died. But na Ukraine dey put their men in headlock under forceful mobilisation

Oga listen to that dude he’s trying to educate you. Those Russian submarines and missiles can not withstand the American naval fleet stationed round the world. When it comes to naval power don’t compare the Bear with Uncle Sam. Are you even aware that the US has 40 % of the world’s naval carriers? That alone can change the tide of any war. While Russia just has 3%. Wake up from your slumber

Tealcrestmedia:


Leave them na. Satan 2 and MAD is a joke to them. There's a reason US will forever avoid a direct conflict with Russia or China. Both of them won't survive it.

Same way Russia is also scared of MAD. What do you guys take Russia to be for God’s sake? That they aren’t scare of MAD? What nonsense!!

Even the Satan 2 u boast about will be neutralized by American interceptor missiles. The US hasn’t found a cheaper way of neutralizing your so called hypersonic missiles

Krismas:
Russia has more nukes than America, Britain France and China combined.
China will never nuke Russia, for wot? China is more likely to nuke America. Russia almost nuked America recently sef. NATO should continue playing with Russia, cos soon, THERE WILL BE NATO NO MORE

People like you make me laugh and expose the reasons why reading and research is necessary. Yes Russia has more nukes than America but how many of those Russian nukes can be immediately deployed? That’s the issue now. Only 1500 of those Russian nukes can be deployed while the US can deploy more of 1700 nukes. It’s not all about the number of nukes a country has. Go get yourself educated and stop talking like a road side analyst

Putin is busy sending air defense to Iran while his backyard is lacking air defenses.

Smh

All those who worship America have this thing in common, dumbness! How can anyone rate America as superior militarily, based on how much they spend on weapons?
The answer to dat is that, their spending is a rip-off of the taxpayers’ money and not necessarily superior cos it’s costly.
U guys are sleeping on Russia. Dey play

How will u have Nuke that is not deployable? U daydreaming? Anything Nuke is already a useable weapon. So, it’s necessary u explain wot u mean. Cos am very sure u just babbling.

Oga no one is saying they have superior weapons based on how much they spend. As usual with Putin ass lickers, you don’t bother to understand before commenting.

Moreover have you heard of military R & D before? The more money you spend on R & D will result to better weapons. Just take a chill pill son. You know nothing

That’s why I said go and get yourself educated. There’s difference between having nukes and having deployable ones. Are you even aware that there are Russian nukes abandoned in Ukraine during the Soviet Era, but Russia can’t deploy them because they are moribund for now. It takes a lot to maintain 6000 nuclear weapons and arm them at same time

Like I said, most of you Russian bots are kids who grew up hearing the name Russia. Go back and do a proper research so just as i did when I was younger so as for you not to sound whack when matters of intellect are discussed.

LOL.
In one breath, u say, no one is saying ur military spending equals your military superiority and in the same breath u say ur spending on research and development makes you more Military superior?
How then do want me to take u seriously?
Do u really think butty pickin wey go school for Banana Island Montessori secondary school know book pass me, wey go Ajegunle high school? Na by like that?
AMERICA SPENDING IS ALWAYS PADDED, OVERBLOATED AND DOES NOT IMPLY QUALITY. They are just cheating the taxpayers, their industrial military complex. That why u see several world richest men in America. They will tell u these men sell computers or books etc. Story. Na u sell computer pass?

U talking real nonsense, sorry to say. Modernization of nukes for deployment is what u mean?
Do u think America will need to fly a plane over japan to Nuke Nagasaki like in WW2?
So, all the Nukes they prepared back then needs to be modernized! That’s what u trying to say
Unfortunately, Russia nuclear nuclear arsenal is the most modernized. America only started modernization this year.
While Russia has even taken it a step further. All this praises for Russia is no boast. It’s just dat u sleeping on Russia

It's a good position. A country as big as Russia and powerful won't want that small land or any territory be seeded to another country... regardless of the size.

The image I posted is literally pontoon bridges.

Ukraine blew up a bridge sometime this year or so, how did that help their cause?

NATO is watching Russian weaknesses and their new status
Russia is a potential Togo now.
