"In any case, there are victims. But they are silent. "We have everything under control," they say,"
— Another column of the Russian Armed Forces and a pontoon crossing were destroyed in the Kursk region, as evidenced by videos published by eyewitnesses.
"Kursk Region, Zvannoye village. Destroyed engineering structure and two groups of engineering equipment," says the Belgorod People's Republic channel, which published footage from the scene. It is claimed that the footage was filmed on August 28.
On August 28, a video also appeared on Ukrainian military channels showing strikes on military equipment in an area similar to the area in the video from the village of Zvannoye.
"Russian pontoon workers in Kursk region are very unlucky. Once they left to build a crossing, but did not arrive. First, the Big Brother worked, and then the engineering vehicles were burned by drones," blogger Sternenko wrote in his post.

Those FPV drones must be absolutely terrifying to the people on the ground, especially considering how accurate they can be.
There must be some serious discussion happening in military circles in the west, they sound like an absolute nightmare in asymmetrical warfare.
How are they controlled? If it's radio, shouldn't it be pretty easy to jamm, assuming you have the means to?
If I'm not mistaken the main weakness of FPV drones is that you have to manually control it untill it's directly at or above the enemy. Which most of other weapons don't need, and you can fire them from slightly larger distance.
But, since we are talking russia here, it works amazingly well.
On an unrelated note, if any of you haven't seen FPV drone racing, it's one one of the most cyberpunk and coolest sports.
Radio controlled, I think they use repeaters on drones to extend the range.
And they can be jammed, but I don't think the Russian jamming tech is actually that good.
