Russian forces using a reconnaissance drone "copied" the movement of Ukrainian armored and automotive vehicles, as well as enemy personnel in the Artemovsk area (Bakhmut). The situation developed as follows: several enemy units were able to get out of the city along the highway. Several infantry fighting vehicles pulled up to the exit point, as well as military vehicles. As it appears, this technique was supposed to evacuate infantry units that got out of the besieged city. However, the evacuation was thwarted by the clear and confident actions of the Russian forces..
It is reported that, that the reconnaissance of PMC "Wagner", having recorded the active movement of the enemy leaving the city, for quite a long time transmitted coordinates from a drone to artillery crews.
First, the head infantry fighting vehicle of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was destroyed by an ideally accurate hit..
After the blow was struck on the infantry column, which stretched along the left side of the road. According to conservative estimates, with this one artillery shot alone, at least 15 militants. The artillery fire continued.
From radio talks (material published by WarGonzo) from the fire spotter:
I see the movement of five pickups towards the infantry. Looks like, they are going to evacuate it. Yes. Waiting for evacuation. Yes, there are not five pickups, and eight, and tank. Big reel. I give a point. Get it all in there, what is. There is a hit. Thus demonstrated, by and large, perfect understanding of reconnaissance and artillery, and timely decision making. All this made it possible not only to disrupt the evacuation of infantry units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the surrounded city, but also to destroy several pieces of enemy equipment. Little of, the enemy learned, that the road is not at all safe and therefore any next such attempt can lead to another dozens of “two hundredths” and “three hundredths” among the personnel.
