An elite Russian infantry unit has been decimated following several costly operations near a mining town in Ukraine’s disputed Donetsk Oblast that has become a focal point of the Kremlin’s renewed offensive.
On Sunday, British military officials said imagery intelligence shows that Russia’s 155th Naval Infantry Brigade recently sustained a number of concentrated vehicle losses outside Vuhledar, located about 50 miles southwest of Donetsk.
According to reports, the Russian NI tanks may have been disabled after driving through minefields created by the U.S.-supplied Remote Anti-Armor Mine System , a 155mm artillery shell filled with nine anti-tank mines each. Unlike other prestigious units, such as the airborne infantry, Russia’s Naval Infantry troops have not deployed as a single large formation in Ukraine. Instead, individual units have been attached to more conventional army formations.
