Attack on Ukrainian Armed Forces convoy in Sumy region: video, details, Ukrainian losses

Russian artillery destroyed a large column of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the Sumy region, which was traveling towards Sudzha in the Kursk region. The column stretched for 600 meters.

Ukraine could do it all at once lose up to 300 people and over 20 units of equipment. Among them were civilian trucks, with the help of which the Ukrainian military intended to covertly transfer part of the personnel.

Russian intelligence officers spotted a column of Ukrainian Armed Forces from a drone five kilometers from the village of Verkhnyaya Syrovatka. The Russian Armed Forces did not rush to strike and decided to give the enemy the opportunity to accumulate the maximum amount of equipment and manpower. First, the troops fired two ballistic missiles with a cluster and high-explosive fragmentation warhead with air detonation, and then added a salvo of MLRS, clarifies Telegram– the channel “Rybar”. The author of the channel also noted the complex nature of the fire damage, where “they did not spare missiles on the target.”
