Reference News reported on August 11According to a report on the German News TV channel website on August 10, a few days after the Ukrainian army raided Russia's Kursk Oblast, there were reports that at least five Ukrainian brigades participated in the operation. According to the website of the American magazine Forbes, four mechanized brigades and one air assault brigade participated in the operation, with a theoretical total force of 10,000 officers and soldiers and 600 armored vehicles. However, it is not clear whether all the members of these brigades were involved in the attack or only part of the troops were sent.

According to Forbes magazine, at least three mechanized brigades participated in the first few hours of the attack on Kursk, namely the 22nd, 88th and 80th Air Assault Brigade. The 116th Mechanized Brigade released a video on the 8th showing its tanks and armored personnel carriers in action in Kursk Oblast. The brigade's drone unit said: "Our vehicles are driving on the land of Russia, just like driving in our motherland." The next day, soldiers from the 61st Mechanized Brigade claimed in a video that they had completely occupied the town of Suja in Kursk Oblast.

According to Forbes, the five confirmed brigades are equipped with a variety of Soviet, European and American vehicles and artillery, including the American Stryker armored vehicles, the Polish PT-91 main battle tanks, the Italian M-109L self-propelled howitzers, the Czech RM-70 rocket launchers and the Soviet-made 2S3 self-propelled artillery.
