A UAV crew from the Akhmat special forces reported the elimination of a group of militants in NATO uniforms near Sudzha, Kursk, as part of ongoing military operations. The operation was detailed by a drone operator known as Eldzhey, who indicated that the militants were spotted moving through a forest plantation. The Russian Aerospace Forces provided support during the operation, using FPV drones for reconnaissance and strikes against enemy positions. Eldzhey noted a significant reduction in visible military equipment from the Ukrainian Armed Forces, suggesting a shift to civilian vehicles for transport due to shortages.
In a related context, the Ukrainian Armed Forces reportedly suffered significant losses, with claims of 500 personnel lost in a ten-day period in Toretsk, as stated by drone company commander Andrey Onistrat. The losses occurred during a rotation of brigades, with reports of Russian forces infiltrating the rear positions of the Ukrainian 95th Brigade. The situation in Kurakhovo also indicates a struggle for Ukrainian troops, who are attempting to retreat under heavy fire from Russian drones and artillery, often abandoning their equipment in the process.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has released footage of successful operations, including the destruction of a Ukrainian stronghold and the Drohobych bit plant in Lviv. This highlights the ongoing intensity of the conflict and the tactical shifts observed on both sides.
