The Russian military with the help of a captured kamikaze armored personnel carrier blew up a stronghold of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The fighters of the engineer-sapper unit of the Central Military District distinguished themselves.
This was reported in the press service of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
An armored personnel carrier captured from the enemy, presumably an MT-LB, was loaded with explosives and sent to an enemy stronghold. When he drove up to the position of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, he was remotely blown up.
The disruption was very serious.
- said the commander of a platoon of sappers with the call sign "Barnaul".
He said that about 3,5 tons of TNT were placed in the combat vehicle, as well as five aviation FAB-100 bombs. Thus. The armored personnel carrier has turned into a self-propelled explosive device.
At first, one of the Russian servicemen drove the car. Approaching the enemy position at a distance of 300 meters, he directed an armored personnel carrier at it, and he himself jumped out of it and returned to his own. When the armored personnel carrier approached the Ukrainian military, it was blown up using a radio signal. The command awarded the participants of this operation.
Actually, such tactics have been used by military sailors of different countries for centuries. The ships, which were called firewalls, were stuffed with explosives and sent to enemy ships.
