TL;DR Summary

Ukrainian forces in the Donetsk region are calling for more Javelin anti-tank weapons after a soldier from the 79th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade used the weapon to destroy a number of Russian armored vehicles in Marinka. The brigade has effectively utilized the US-made Javelins, with another soldier reportedly taking out 40 units of Russian equipment. The US has provided Ukraine with over 10,000 Javelin anti-armor systems, and Lockheed Martin is increasing production. The contested area around Marinka has seen intense fighting, with Russian forces making advances, but Western analysts question their ability to sustain successful mechanized maneuvers after significant losses.
