The strike significantly reduced the operational capabilities of the 1429th Motorized Rifle Regiment, hampering its ability to terrorize civilians, the General Staff said.
Ukraine’s Air Force Command emphasized that attacks on Russian military targets will continue until all occupying forces are expelled from Ukrainian territory.
Precision strikes crippling Russian operations
On Feb. 17, Ukrainian Air Force units successfully carried out a precision strike against positions held by the 2nd Motorized Rifle Battalion of Russia’s 64th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade near Chumatske in Zaporizhzhya Oblast.
Earlier, on Feb. 3, Ukraine’s General Staff reported that the Air Force had hit a Russian command post near Novoivanivka in Russia’s Kursk Oblast. The strike caused extensive damage and led to significant casualties among Russian personnel, according to Ukrainian military officials.
On Feb. 13, another high-precision strike destroyed an enemy military facility near Yelyzavetivka in Kursk Oblast.
The target was a platoon stronghold belonging to the 28th Rifle Battalion of Russia’s 60th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade, which Russian forces had been using to launch drone attacks on Ukrainian positions in Sumy Oblast.
Ukraine’s ongoing campaign of precision airstrikes is disrupting Russian military operations and degrading the enemy’s ability to conduct offensive actions and launch drone attacks against Ukrainian forces and civilians.
