Details became known blasting a powerful land mine of the Russian-Turkish patrol on the M4 highway in the Idlib de-escalation zone on July 14, 2020, as a result of which Russian and Turkish military were injured and armored vehicles were damaged.
On the web there were photos of the damaged equipment, and also made a step-by-step demonstration of the incident. On the presented frames it is clearly visible that at the epicenter of the explosion was the Russian BTR-82A. After the explosion, he was carried to a small grove on the side of the road.
