According to journalists, the Armed Forces used HIMARS to hit the Russians with GPS-guided M30/31 missiles. Each of them was equipped with more than 400 grenade-sized submunitions.
Ukrainian soldiers from the 27th missile and artillery brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck a group of Russian troops near the Seim River in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation. The publication writes about it Forbes.
It is reported that the Russians were watched from the air by a drone of the 14th regiment of unmanned aviation systems. Ukrainians saw several dozen Russians approach the river, get off the trucks and try to cross the pontoon crossing.
The article says that at the same time the Armed Forces used HIMARS to hit the Russians with GPS-guided M30/31 missiles. Each of them was equipped with more than 400 grenade-sized submunitions.
The publication writes that two rockets hit unprotected Russian troops at the far end of the floating bridge. As the surviving Russians sought cover in a nearby forest strip, a third rocket exploded directly above them. It's unclear how many Russians were killed or wounded, but drone footage shows about 30 moving figures at the start of the bombing — and fewer than a dozen at the end.
Ukrainian missileers may have repelled this Russian attack. But, according to the Ukrainian Center for Defense Strategies, other Russian units managed to recapture several villages around Snagosti, as well as the village of Ulanok on the right. Ukrainian troops led by the 22nd mechanized brigade counterattacked west of Snagosti, seeking to cut off those advancing on the Russian Armed Forces.
The article says that the front line is chaotic. Ukrainian forces are a mixture of battalions, separate assault groups and territorial defense forces. On the part of the Russians, the mixture is even more confusing.
As Frontelligence Insight analysts called it, it's a "salad of divisions."
"They mostly consist of battalions or regiments taken from different divisions and brigades and then assembled in one geographical area," the experts said.
According to analysts, forces structured in this way usually do not have significant offensive potential. This will continue until a cohesive command and coordination structure is in place.
"Given that this is a long-standing problem in the Russian armed forces, our team does not expect major improvements in the short term. However, this does not mean that Russia has no offensive potential," the analysts noted.
