Ukrainian Forces Launch Counteroffensive Against Russian Positions.

The 25th Air Assault Brigade, one of Ukraine's oldest brigades, has joined the Ukrainian assault along the Mokri Yaly River, indicating that Kyiv is committing more forces to its southern counteroffensive. Ukrainian forces have been attacking along three or four axes in southern Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk Oblasts since early last week. The goal is to open a gap somewhere along the Russian front line so that reinforcements can exploit that gap and race toward the Sea of Azov. The axis running along the Mokri Yaly River might be the most fruitful for the Ukrainians.

Ukraine's Military Tactics Against Russia: A Closer Look.

The Ukrainian navy’s 35th Marine Brigade is using a tactic borrowed from the US Army to advance along the Mokri Yaly River in southern Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk Oblasts. The brigade is using speed and shock to confuse and demoralize Russian defenders, with a column of Mastiffs rolling down the dirt road parallel to the river, while a T-80 tank blasts any Russian positions. The brigade has liberated several villages in eight or nine days of hard fighting, most recently Makarivka. The longer the 35th Marine Brigade prolongs its thunder run, the more likely Ukrainian commanders are to send additional brigades rolling along the same axis.
