Ukrainian drone footage from an assault in Novomykhailovka. There are several villages with a similar name, but I think this is located in Zaporizhia Oblast, east-northeast of Tokmak. Russian forces attack with a company-sized element consisting of tanks and BMPs, and the Ukrainian defenders respond with the proven recipe of artillery and drones. An explosion of some kind – probably a mine but possibly an ATGM – brings the column to a halt. Guns firing 155mm DPICM target the advancing armor, and though it takes a moment to bracket the column, observers soon achieve rounds on target. FPV drones descend, smacking the few operational vehicles and mopping up the infantry.
