Azov Air Recon And Gunners Take Out Russian Military Position

These images show Azov aerial reconnaissance and gunners taking out a Russian military position on the frontlines.

The footage shows a number of Russian soldiers being targeted in a shallow trench on the battlefield.

They can then be seen moving behind what appears to be a destroyed Russian tank before that is hit as well.

The remaining forces can then be seen attempting to move away from the tank but they are repeatedly hit again.

The images were obtained from the Azov Brigade of the Ukrainian National Guard on Monday, 20th November, along with a statement saying: “The work of aerial scouts and gunners of the 12th special purpose brigade ‘Azov’ of NSU [National Guard of Ukraine] in one of the directions.

“The result: the enemy’s manpower is destroyed.”

The images and statement were also relayed by the National Guard of Ukraine.

Russia invaded Ukraine on 24th February 2022 in what the Kremlin is still calling a “special military operation”. Today marks the 636th day of the full-scale war.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that between 24th February 2022 and 21st November 2023, Russia had lost about 319,610 personnel, 5,439 tanks, 10,174 armoured combat vehicles, 7,752 artillery units, 899 multiple launch rocket systems, 588 air defence systems, 323 warplanes, 324 helicopters, 5,771 drones, 1,564 cruise missiles, 22 warships, 1 submarine, 10,134 motor vehicles and fuel tankers, and 1,098 units of special equipment.

Russia has claimed that its casualties have been much lower but provides infrequent updates on its latest figures.

US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin has announced the Pentagon will send Ukraine an additional USD 100 million in weapons from existing US stockpiles, including artillery and air defence munitions.

He made the announcement during an unannounced visit to Kyiv where he met the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Defence Minister Rustem Umerov and Chief of Staff General Valerii Zaluzhnyi.

Austin said that Ukraine’s effort to defeat the invading Russian forces “matters to the rest of the world”, adding that American support would continue “for the long haul”.

Ukrainian forces were battling to contain escalating Russian attacks on Monday around the eastern Ukrainian town of Bakhmut.

Volodymyr Fityo, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Ground Forces, said Russian troops were focusing their attacks on Klishchiivka, a nearby village that was retaken by Ukrainian forces in September.

Russia has placed Ukrainian singer Susana Jamaladinova, known as Jamala, who won the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest, on its wanted list.
