Four days have passed since Ukraine broke into the Russian Kursk Oblast. During this period, the militia blocked the attack in the early stage, and later the Russian army joined the battle, and even used the special forces formed by the former "Wagner" members. It is obvious that Ukraine is not joking. This operation is more like a gamble. The situation is not as easy as the Russian army imagined. It can be basically confirmed that the Ukrainian army has occupied dozens of villages and towns on the border. It controls about 300 square kilometers of land. At the same time, it is constantly using engineering vehicles to dig trenches and repair trenches. At least for now, it has basically gained a foothold.

Ukrainian Army

Because the attack was so sudden, the exact number of troops Ukraine deployed has been changing.The Washington Post quoted a source as saying that Ukraine only had a 300-strong commando unit at the beginning of the offensive, but as the offensive progressed smoothly, the scale was gradually expanding. It is estimated that there are now more than 1,000 Ukrainian troops in threeMechanized Assault BattalionParticipate in the battle. With the support of armored vehicles, air defense missiles, drones, HIMARS long-range rockets and other weapons provided by the West, they have made great strides and established their own "buffer zone" on the Russian border.

The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has been going on for more than two years, and the front line has remained in a stalemate. No one expected that Ukraine could launch such a large-scale counterattack. The Russian army was caught off guard. The deployment of troops in Kursk Oblast was originally very weak, and Ukraine's strong advance basically collapsed. Ukraine said that it had captured "hundreds of people." Other achievements include the complete destruction of 24 Russian reinforcement trucks, causing more than 500 casualties, using drones to shoot down a Ka-52 attack helicopter, and seizing a large amount of ammunition.
