Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed a very rare APC that was supposed to help the racists hold back the offensive
A Russian APC-80 with UMZ first hit a mine and then received an accurate “hit” from a UAV
The Ukrainian military destroyed a rather rare vehicle of the Russian occupation forces – a modified Russian BTR-80 armored personnel carrier equipped with a UMZ (Universal Mine Barrier) launcher was in the sights of our defenders.
A rather rare Russian BTR-80, which was modified with an attached UMZ minefield capable of planting a variety of mines, hit a mine itself and was then finished off by a precise drop from a Ukrainian drone
The car was smoking and then exploded violentlyhttps://t.co/vQfZ1rjSXq pic.twitter.com/DD7N6VwE7r– 🇺🇦 Mykhaykin 🇺🇦 (@2uwmp) July 13, 2023
First, a Russian armored personnel carrier hit a mine, then a Ukrainian bomb truck operator took over the vehicle and dropped a grenade from a drone.
The footage shows how the vehicle smoked after the grenade hit, then you can see the detonation of ammunition and eventually the armored personnel carrier catching fire, so the vehicle can be considered destroyed.
Destroying any enemy minefields is a crucial step today, as the Russians are actively using them to set up minefields, which are currently an important element of the Russian occupation army’s defense.
For example, to delay the advance of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the occupiers are actively using their modern Zemlyedelie mine systems, which can allegedly cover an area of several football fields with one volley and can operate at a distance of 5 to 15 km.
For the first time, the Ukrainian Defense Forces destroyed such a vehicle around the beginning of March 2023, and it was also destroyed by dropping it from an unmanned aerial vehicle.
Унікальне відео💪
The soldiers of the 128th Separate Mechanized Brigade, which the Foundation regularly supports, found and destroyed a combat vehicle of the Russian engineering remote mining system Zemledelie.
The artillery fire was adjusted by Leleka-100.

Another Zemlyedelie vehicle was destroyed in late June, and it was probably destroyed using a “smart munition” such as SMArt 155 or 155 BONUS, which is in service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
In addition, the occupiers also use the same Soviet UMZ engineering vehicles based on the ZIL-131B truck to mine the territories, and one of these systems was destroyed by an FPV drone.
