However, our attack drone operators didn’t appreciate this creative effort and [struck every Russian motorcycle before they could reach the Ukrainian positions]."

Details: The brigade said that eight Russian military motorcycles and one armoured personnel carrier, with personnel on board, were destroyed in the course of this clash. Ukrainian forces also damaged another armoured personnel carrier and a tank.

Previously: The fierce battle for Novomykhailivka, a small village with the population of around 1,500 before the full-scale invasion, started in late autumn 2023.

Russia deployed 10 brigades and regiments totalling up to 30,000 soldiers to a narrow strip of the front in order to capture Novomykhailivka. Every day, Russia deploys tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and countless infantry personnel to attack Ukrainian positions in the area.

Over the past six months, Ukrainian 79th Separate Assault Tavriia Brigade has destroyed over 300 pieces of Russian military equipment.
