RT reported that the Russia-Ukraine conflict last week was marked by fighting at many locations along the front line, in which the Russian army reported new advances in Donbass. Russian forces also continue to hunt for valuable assets behind Ukraine, attacking the military and equipment that are being deployed.
On July 14, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the liberation of Urozhaynoye, a large village located in the southwest of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR).
The village has witnessed fierce fighting and suffered heavy damage in the past few months.
Drone footage shows Russian soldiers raising flags on the roof of a local administrative building.
On July 19, the Russian Defense Ministry said the Russian military had taken control of Yuryevka, a small village west of the town of Gorlovka, Donetsk.
The development seems to signal that Russian forces are expanding their control after penetrating Ukraine's defense line last week, as the army entered the village of New York (also known as Novgorodskoye) in northeast of Yuryevka.
Continue to attack logistics facilities
The Russian military continues to focus on attacking Kiev's military logistics facilities, including units and equipment being redeployed.
Russian forces have launched an attack on a train station in the budy village, Kharkov region. The army used two Iskander tactical ballistic missiles to attack a train carrying many military equipment.
According to Moscow's estimates, 20 weapons, including 3 Marder infantry fighting vehicles supplied by Germany, were destroyed in the attack, while up to 120 Ukrainian soldiers were killed or injured.
Another Iskander attack was reported on July 16, when a cruise missile warhead attacked a Ukrainian training area near Peresechnoye village in the same area.
Russia deploys heavy super bomb
On July 14, the Russian Defense Ministry officially acknowledged for the first time the use of the extremely powerful FAB-3000 "super bomb" equipped with a unified planning and certification modulate (UMPK).
The military released a video showing the FAB-3000 mounted on a Su-34 fighter- civil bomb.
The Su-34 was seen carrying only one bomb in the central tower. The bomb spread its wings immediately after separating from the aircraft and continued to slide into the target.
Another video with a wings of the FAB-3000 shows the altitude at which they are deployed. A rare film shot from a Su-34 in clear weather shows the plane seemingly dropping a giant bomb at an altitude of about 10,000 meters above ground.
Lancet UAV destroys self-propelled artillery
The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed that the Russian army destroyed the M109 Paladin self-propelled artillery in the Kherson area using Lancet UAVs, and posted a video of the attack. This self-propelled artillery is produced and supplied to Ukraine by the US.
The Lancet is classified as an attack UAV capable of operating long-term on the battlefield. Unlike traditional UAVs, Lancet not only detects targets, but it is itself an attack device with a small, multi-purpose head designed to destroy motor vehicles, civil servants and infantry groups.
