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.
