Russian Column Breaks Through to Zeleny Shlyakh, Kursk Region, Under Fore From the AFU

November 2024.

More successful assault actions by the Russian Armed Forces in the Kursk region - a column of a T-72B tank and 5 BMP-2s, under artillery fire and FPV drones, makes its way to Ukrainian positions on the outskirts of Zeleny Shlyakh and in neighboring Novoivanovka .

The absence of prepared minefields in the area of ​​the recent offensive by Russian paratroopers and the subsequent counterattack on them by the 36th Marine Brigade of the Ukrainian Navy and the 47th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (unlike the situation with Pogrebki ) allowed our column to successfully split into two parts and land infantry at designated points.

Before the landing party dismounts from one of the BMP-2s in the village of Novoivanovka, one can see a Ukrainian grenade launcher firing a point-blank RPG at the vehicle, but the rocket-propelled grenade passes sideways "tangentially" across the frontal armor plate and does not cause any damage. Another shot fired in pursuit from afar misses the target altogether.
