The occupiers brought an echelon of almost 30 fifty-year-old reactivated T-62 tanks to the Kherson region, reported in the Operational Command "South".
Also brought: automotive equipment, armored combat vehicles and multiple rocket launchers.
The enemy struck five Mi-8 helicopters on Ukrainian positions.
"Trying to attack our positions again with 3 helicopters, the enemy received a decent rebuff. Without specifying the means of destruction, it should be noted that the attack was thwarted," - reads the statement.
During aviation activity in the sky over Mykolaiv and Kherson regions, two enemy air-to-air missiles self-destructed.
"They were released from the same Su-35 plane that was shot down by our MiG-29 fighter. Therefore, both the plane and the missiles were punished by heavens,” the military added.
That the russian military transferred 50-year-old T-62 tanks to the front, the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain reported yesterday. This may indicate a lack of modern technology.
