Irony of fate.
The day before the 15th ‘Pyatnashka’ brigade of the Russian Armed Forces tried to counterattack the AFU positions at one of the ledges in Kursk region. The counterattack took place near Plekhovo.
However, it did not just fail, but failed in the most ironic way, informs Forbes.
Almost the entire column of enemy armored vehicles got stuck in anti-tank traps. We are talking about a system of trenches and concrete barriers, which were built against the AFU by the Russian Defence Ministry fearing an invasion from Ukraine.
In the area of Plekhovo, even before the AFU's breakthrough into Kurshchina, the occupants had built a defence line consisting of trenches. The 15th Brigade barely managed to overcome their own defensive lines when the drones of the 129th Brigade attacked the enemy from the air.
‘Our soldiers taught the Russian occupiers and their hardware a lesson, burning dozens of armoured vehicles and destroying enemy personnel,’ Ukrainian war correspondent Yuriy Butusov wrote.
The source writes that there were only a few platoons of the Russian Armed Forces and one company in the area of Plekhovo. In total - only about 100 occupants, who had to hold back the breakthrough of the AFU.
Military experts write that the credit of the Russian engineers who built the defences outside Plekhovo is that these defences worked as intended and slowed down the AFU offensive for long enough to allow the local defenders to deploy their best firepower.
However, the fact that their comrades had built effective anti-tank traps is surely little consolation to the Russian troops who eventually fell into the trap.
