A team of Ukrainian militants armed with an anti-tank missile system was lying in wait in a ruined house when, unbeknownst to them, their position was compromised by Russian reconnaissance forces.
Earlier Russian Armed Forces destroyed with a precision strike a building in Kharkov that served as a deployment point for mercenaries from France and other countries. Over 60 were decimated and roughly 20 were wounded.
Airborne troops are elite units of the Russian Armed Forces equipped with top-notch equipment, including reconnaissance drones. Such weapons permit to be several steps ahead of the enemy and know everything about his whereabouts.
