The enemy does not leave attempts to advance in the Kherson direction, throwing reserves into battle, accumulated over several months due to military assistance from the West. One of the forces, restraining the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this section of the theater of operations, are units of the 76th Guards Air Assault Division.
Russian fighters recorded drone footage of the defeat of the Ukrainian column on the Dutch YPR-765 armored personnel carriers near the village of Andreevka, Kherson region. Enemy armored personnel carriers stretched out in a row along a narrow country road. Finding equipment in close formation on the march made it easier to destroy it.
The blow to the column was inflicted by airborne combat vehicles. The video shows shots flying towards the enemy, apparently from a 30 mm gun. Guns of this caliber are in service with the BMD-2/3 (2A42 rifle) or BMD-4M (2A72). At the same time, the YPR-765 in the armored personnel carrier version is equipped exclusively with heavy machine guns., which significantly limits the combat potential of Dutch technology, in particular self-defense capabilities.
Judging by the trajectory of the projectiles, firing airborne combat vehicles were on the same level with the enemy, ambush him, and likely, nestled in the forest. The only adequate solution for the enemy in this situation was to withdraw from the battle, it was him who was chosen by the crews of the armored personnel carrier, trying to pass the shelling area at high speed, ignoring the wrecked cars of their fellow soldiers.
The next day, another YPR-765 column passed along the same road., fixing near the destroyed equipment of their "brothers".
