Russian infantry attempted to storm Ukrainian positions using modified VAZ Zhiguli cars. This incident occurred during ongoing military operations, where the 2nd Mechanized Battalion “K-2” of the 54th Mechanized Brigade, named after Hetman Ivan Mazepa, recorded and released a video of the event. The footage displayed the Soviet-era vehicles that had been adapted for military use with modifications such as the removal of the roof and doors, and the addition of anti-drone grills and camouflage nets. The Russian vehicle was detected by a reconnaissance drone, prompting the use of FPV drones to intercept it. The Russian forces inside the vehicle engaged in fire with Ukrainian defenders as they exited near a previously damaged MT-LB tracked tractor.

The 2nd Mechanized Battalion was the primary source of this information, as reported by Militarnyi. The use of unorthodox vehicles by Russian troops reflects the adaptation and improvisation seen in ongoing conflicts. The modified Zhiguli car hit a mine during the retreat, and a subsequent vehicle broke through under intense fire, allowing Russian troops to rush out. Ultimately, the Russian infantry regrouped near a damaged truck, but were targeted by a grenade from a rocket-propelled grenade
