Remove a part of the URL using REGEX and .htacess

I want to replace this URL:

mydomain.com/posts/1659-artigos/etc-to

By this one:

mydomain.com/etc-to

Using .htaccess I'm trying the following:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^posts/1659-artigos/(.*)$ $1

But it isn't working. No redirect happens.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

    You can use this code to get redirect working:

    RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^posts/1659-artigos/(.*)$ /$1 [L,R=301,NC]

    You need to use / before $1 for external redirect and make sure to use R flag for full redirect.
