92nd Assault Brigade Commander: Kursk operation enhances Kharkiv defense
In Kharkiv Oblast, Russian assaults have declined since the start of Ukraine's offensive in Russia's Kursk Oblast, Lex, commander of the Achilles 92 attack drone battalion, told Bild on Sept. 19.
A Ukrainian military officer said that since the start of their offensive in Kursk, Russian attacks in Kharkiv Oblast have decreased, with only one major assault in the past three weeks.
The 92nd OShBr drone operators recently destroyed 10 of 11 Russian tanks attempting to attack Ukrainian forces in Kharkiv. In one day, UAVs eliminated a Russian soldier, a military UAZ-2206, and several antennas and shelters, Bild reports.
"I used to be an infantryman, so I understand the situation from their perspective. It’s unfortunate, but they need to leave our country to avoid being targeted," Lex said.
