Tactical Situation Improved
In other advances of the past day, Russia’s Southern Battlegroup has improved its tactical situation along the front line, while Ukraine lost over 470 troops in clashes, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Tuesday.
"Units of the Yug [southern] Battlegroup improved the tactical situation along the front line and inflicted losses on troops and hardware of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' 28th, 54th Mechanized Brigades, 5th Assault Brigade, and 46th Airmobile Brigade near Seversk, Dyleyevka, Konstantinovka, and Ostroye (Donetsk People's Republic). The Ukrainian Army losses amounted to more than 470 Ukrainian troops, two infantry fighting vehicles, three motor vehicles, and one 152-mm 2A65 Msta-B howitzer," the ministry said in a statement.
Russia’s Central Battlegroup also improved its tactical situation, while Kiev lost up to 370 soldiers in the same time period, according to the ministry.
"The Ukrainian Armed Forces' losses [in battles with Russia’s Western Battlegroup] amounted to up to 400 Ukrainian troops, three armoured personnel carriers, eight motor vehicles, three 152-mm D-20 howitzers, one 152-mm 2A65 Msta-B howitzer, and one 122-mm 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled artillery system," the ministry continued.
Leap of Death: Watch Russian Army Unleash New Kamikaze Drone on Ukrainian Troops
The special military operation served as a catalyst for innovation in the Russian defense industry and revealed that AI-powered machines are the future of warfare.
The Russian Armed Forces unleashed a brand-new ground-launched kamikaze drone Lyagushka (meaning "Frog") on the Ukrainian militants, the Defense Ministry announced. The mine-laden robot sneaked into enemy trenches and blew up the nest of heavy machinery and its crew.
"Soldiers of the special forces of the Tsentr combat group used the ground-based robotic complex Lyagushka for the first time and destroyed a Ukrainian machine-gun crew during the offensive operation in the direction of Avdeyevka," the official statement said.
The mobile drone is powered by an electric motor, which makes it virtually silent. Combined with its relatively small size and speed of up to 20km/h, it can reach enemy positions undetected and deliver up to 30kg of explosive payload.
The drone is operated by a crew of three military personnel using a remote control and special goggles. A camera installed on the antenna of the device allows the operator to avoid obstacles while directing the drone to the target. The additional antenna of the complex allows maintaining control over the drone at a distance of more than three kilometers.
