Watch Russian Forces Obliterate German Leopard Tank in Zaporozhye Direction

Russia has strategically utilized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to a great effect, particularly in neutralizing Ukrainian armored vehicles and tanks. These drones, known for their precision and agility, have become a powerful asset on the battlefield.

The Russian Defense Ministry has published footage showing Russian forces wiping out a Ukrainian German-made Leopard tank with a UAV in the Zaporozhye direction.

Russian drones have demonstrated that they can quickly identify and target tanks and other armored vehicles, often catching them off guard. Using swift strikes, these UAVs have repeatedly demonstrated their ability to disrupt and dismantle Ukrainian tank units.

The commander of the UAV group of the 1430 regiment of the Russian Armed Forces, who goes by the code name Yakut, informed journalists that Ukrainian troops are increasingly employing Leopard tanks in their assaults on Russian positions in the Zaporozhye direction. He added that any vehicles of Soviet origin in this area are rarely seen.

Earlier, the group under Yakut's command destroyed two Ukrainian Leopards and two Bradley BMPs while fending off a Ukrainian attack. According to information provided by the Russian servicemen, there were fewer Leopard tanks on the frontline sections of the Zaporozhye direction since mid-summer.

"They mostly have imported equipment remaining and practically no domestic equipment... They've begun using Leopards again. They didn't have them before. But now they've resurfaced. There is an assumption that they have resumed receiving NATO equipment and are endeavoring to once again take control of our settlements," Yakut said.

Russia Repels Attack in Donetsk Direction, Ukraine Loses Up to 115 Soldiers

Russia repelled an attack and Ukraine has lost up to 115 soldiers in the Donetsk direction in the past 24 hours, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Thursday.

"The daily losses of the enemy amounted to up to 115 soldiers, one tank, nine infantry fighting vehicles, including eight US-made Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, and four cars," the ministry said.

Ukraine lost up to 165 soldiers and seven tanks in the South Donetsk direction, the ministry added.

Ukrainian launched counteroffensive attempt in June and quickly turned into a failure which took the death toll of more than 90,000 Ukrainian soldiers on the battlefield and the loss of over 500 Ukrainian tanks.

Watch Russia's Su-25 Crush Ukrainian Fortified Field Positions

Russia's Sukhoi Su-25, also known as Grach (lit. rook) or Frogfoot, is a powerful attack jet that has played a pivotal role in the ongoing special operation. Renowned for its ability to provide close air support, the Su-25 has proven instrumental in obliterating ground fortified positions, reducing Ukrainian military capabilities.

The Russian Defense Ministry has published footage of Su-25 attack jets wreaking havoc on fortified field positions, in addition to reducing Ukrainian hardware to rubble in the Donetsk direction.

The Kiev regime's forces have struggled to counter Russia's jets effectively, especially the Su-25, due to their deadly mix of precision and firepower on the battlefield. These attack jets, which can carry various munitions, have shifted the balance in many encounters by consistently outmaneuvering and overpowering Ukrainian defenses.

Kremlin Shoots Down Top Ukrainian Commander’s ‘Stalemate on the Battlefield’ Comment

Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov, on Thursday, dismissed Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny's claims of a battlefield impasse, stating that they are false.

On Wednesday, Zaluzhny said in an interview with the Economist that the conflict with Russia has reached a "stalemate," adding that, according to NATO’s "text books" and the plans for the counteroffensive, "four months should have been enough time for us to have reached Crimea, to have fought in Crimea, to return from Crimea and to have gone back in and out again."

"No, it [conflict] has not reached a stalemate. Russia consistently continues to conduct the special military operation. All the objectives must be reached," Peskov said, answering a question whether the Kremlin agrees with Zaluzhny's statement.
