RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Russia- 10 August 2023. Airborne Troops artillery units thwart AFU offensive near Klesheevka STORYLINE: Units of the Russian Airborne Troops thwarted Ukrainian nationalists offensive near Klesheevka. An unmanned aerial vehicle crew of the Airborne Troops formation located four Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) armoured fighting vehicles attempting to deliver personnel to the zero line. Scouts transferred intelligence data to the artillery fire control centre, then paratroopers artillery crews delivered strikes. D-30 122mm howitzer crews with precise strikes wiped out two enemy armoured fighting vehicles attempting to return to the rear after delivering infantry units. A precise strike eliminated and dispersed enemy infantry trying to find cover in a woodland and lie down in a field. Ukrainian troops with fire support of a BTR-4 Butsefal armoured personnel carrier made an attempt to evacuate the retreating infantry and wounded nationalists, but paratroopers artillery crews wiped out the located armoured personnel carrier with a direct hit. The enemy lost any will to continue resistance and withdrew leaving wounded and killed behind. Footage by / APAwire
