Two infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) – the German-made Marder and the US-made Bradley – have been destroyed in the area near the settlements of Orlovka and Berdychivka, according to Igor Kimakovskiy, an advisor to the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR). The attack was carried out by FPV drones, followed by anti-tank missile systems (ATGMs) and artillery.
Kimakovskiy also noted that several Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) fighters were eliminated during the attack on the armored vehicles.
Earlier, Kimakovskiy revealed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had deployed reserve units to the area of Berdychivka to maintain the defensive line.
Foreign mercenaries were also discovered in the Avdiivka area earlier.
Context: The destruction of these IFVs is a significant blow to the Ukrainian military, as they are essential assets for conducting offensive and defensive operations. This incident highlights the ongoing conflict between the separatist forces in the Donetsk region and the Ukrainian government. The use of FPV drones and advanced weaponry demonstrates the evolving nature of warfare in the region. The presence of foreign mercenaries raises concerns about the involvement of external actors in the conflict.
