The war in Ukraine continues unabated. This morning, the air alert was declared in seven regions, specifically those of Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava, Cherkassy, Kirovograd, Mukolaiv, Kharkiv and that part of the Zaporozhye region that houses Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, under the control of the government of Kyiv. This was reported by the Russian news agency Tass. If the Russian army in the Kherson regions is accelerating the retreat operation, in the Donetsk region of the Donbass it is advancing towards the cities of Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Novopavliv.
But it is also holding the Ukrainian resistance, as a video posted by @Osinttechnical on Twitter shows. The film shows the work of a UR-77 Meteorit Miclic launcher to clear and open a corridor in a Red Army minefield in the Kherson Plains on the Southern Front.

The armored unit launches a “Viper”: a missile with an explosive long tail that, when it leaps into the air, detonates the devices hidden in the ground, releasing them at a length of twenty meters and so on for kilometers. In this way, the first tank can intervene with a large steel plow that completely clears the ground. In this area, the two armies use the Italian-designed Lince armored trucks, designed to withstand mines.
