In the Kursk region, the best equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is working while critical battles unfold in the East: Forbes
![]() 1530 Tuesday, 05 November, 2024, 23:00 The three best American machines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - a pair of M-2 Bradley fighting vehicles and the M-1 Abrams tank - were spotted in battles in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation. They broke through Russian defenses south of the small village of Novyi Put, which was spotted by a UAV. According to Forbes, the Bradleys were moving forward, releasing smoke for cover and firing their automatic cannons while the Abrams supported the assault. Ukraine is facing significant problems in the east. The 47th brigade of the Ukrainian army, which has Ukrainian M-2s and M-1s, is engaged in futile battles near a border village with Russia, while the 79th Air Assault Brigade has almost lost its defensive line in Illinka, located south of Kurakhove. If Illinka falls, it will likely lead to the fall of Kurakhove as well. Losing Kurakhove could trap half a dozen Ukrainian brigades in a "pocket" in the southern Donetsk region. An encirclement or "pocket," as Ukrainian journalist Stanislav Aseev noted, is a classic battlefield tactic that the Russian army in Ukraine has used with devastating results in recent months Forbes reports that if Ukraine loses these territories, it will desperately need to defend the fortress city of Pokrovsk. But if they lose it, the entire defensive line in eastern Ukraine may collapse. The situation in the Kursk region is described as ambiguous, in other words, there is hope, but also risks. Although Ukrainian forces achieved success in early August, they still need to understand the strategic implications of their attack. If Ukraine aimed to draw significant Russian forces into Kursk to exhaust them in the east, it did not succeed: Russia was able to counterattack in Kursk without slowing its advance on Donetsk. If Ukraine's goal is to hold part of Kursk in exchange for parts of Russian-occupied Ukraine during future peace talks, it is a risky move Many people doubt the feasibility of current Ukrainian operations. A UAV observer known on social media as Kriegsforscher believes that "Bradlees" and "Abrams" should be in eastern Ukraine, where they can help contain the Russian advance. Remember, during the last day, occupiers carried out 11 airstrikes using 28 KABs, 206 attacks with kamikaze drones, and nearly 2400 shellings of our troop positions and settlements using various types of weapons. The Ukrainian defense forces managed to achieve successes in the Kharkiv region and near Toretsk. However, Russian occupiers continue to advance in Kupyansk, Pokrovsk, Kurakhove, Vuhledar, and the Kreminna area. |
