A unit of the 412th Nemesis Regiment destroyed a Russian IMR-3M engineering obstacle-clearing vehicle.
A video of the strike was published on the unit’s official Telegram channel.
According to the unit, a drone operator hit the vehicle while it was moving by dropping ammunition from a drone.
Such vehicles are in demand at the front line, as their main task is to clear paths for other motorized units in difficult offensive conditions.
Losses of IMR-3M remain limited: since 2022, only three damaged vehicles have been recorded.
For comparison, the previous IMR-2M version is widely used by Russian forces. Since the start of the full-scale war, at least 49 of them have been destroyed or damaged.
The IMR-3M, based on the T-72 tank, entered service with Russian engineering units in 1999. The total number produced has not been disclosed.
The vehicle is equipped with a universal bulldozer, a telescopic boom, and a track-width mine plow with an electromagnetic attachment. The bulldozer is used for clearing, road construction, and grading.
The telescopic boom, mounted on a fully rotating turret, has a universal mount that can hold an excavator bucket, grapple, ripper, or other tools.
The mine plow allows passage through minefields containing anti-track and anti-bottom mines with contact or non-contact magnetic fuses.
Militarnyi previously reported that Ukrainian rocket artillery destroyed a North Korean M1989 Koksan self-propelled gun.
The Crimea reconnaissance group of the 14th Separate Regiment of the Unmanned Systems Forces struck this target while identifying the weapon and adjusting HIMARS fire.
