Waves of Ukrainian Marines STORM Russian Outposts (History Legends)

Ukrainian forces captured settlements at the edge of the Vremivsky salient, putting a dent in Russian defenses. Ukrainian Marine Infantry used small group infiltrations instead of armored assaults to overwhelm enemy positions. This tactic proved successful in urban terrain but not in open ground. Despite initial gains, Ukraine's "counteroffensive" in the sector got bogged down as Ukraine is only one third of the way until the first Russian line of defense.



A good explanation of the recent fighting featuring details of Russian losses. While the Ukrainians are advancing it looks like they have entered a cauldron situation. The Russians are probably hoping that Ukraine commits their elite reserve units to the fighting in order to destroy them.
