Reported incident of friendly fire among Russian army on the Kursk front. Russians mistakenly took the Russian column for a Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group: “Russian helicopter Ka-52M attacked Russian military column, as a result of which 2S19M2 Msta-S was destroyed.” This morning Russians published such a message and photos. But then they deleted it all: «On the night of 10-11, a sabotage and reconnaissance group entered the village of Krivitskiye Budy, Belovsky district, Kursk region. 2 self-propelled guns (Msta-S), one Ural and an infantry fighting vehicle (western). Opened fire on the locals. Missed. Our helicopter saved us. It destroyed one self-propelled gun (detonation of the ammo), the other one is either damaged or ran out of fuel! The self-propelled gun is standing in the middle of the street! Thanks to the pilots! If anything, there is a photo!»
