Russian Assault Stuffed By Ukrainian Defenses

A Russian armored assault attempt turns into a shooting gallery for Ukrainian defenders as multiple pieces of Russian equipment are immobilized and destroyed in the pre-dawn operation.


Watermarks indicate that the defensive operation was a joint effort conducted by the Ukrainian 60th, 63rd, and 12th Brigades, which may suggest that the Russian assault was spread out over a large front overlapping multiple Ukrainian units. It is also possible that the combination of units suggests low man power requiring interoperability. Or, it could just mean that different assets from each unit were used in the defense, i.e. FPV drones from one unit, artillery from another, etc.
