"Russian Military's Desperation in Ukraine: Ancient Tanks and Outdated Weapons"

The Russian 810th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade suffered significant losses in southern Ukraine, leading to a reconstitution and redeployment. Despite attempts to rebuild, the brigade faced further defeats at the hands of Ukrainian forces, resulting in the loss of modern T-80 tanks and a reversion to using outdated T-55 tanks from the 1950s. This reflects broader challenges within the Russian military, which has struggled to maintain front-line strength amidst sustained conflict with Ukraine.

Ukrainian marines have fortified their positions on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River and are launching counterattacks against Russian forces.

Ukrainian troops have pushed back Russian forces up to five miles from the river bank, marking a rare success in their efforts to gain control of the territory. However, the counteroffensives have come at a heavy cost, with 75 Ukrainian military personnel reported dead.

"Russian Air Force Targets Ukrainian Marines' Bridgehead Across Dnipro River"

Ukrainian marines have established a bridgehead across the Dnipro River in Kherson Oblast, prompting Russian forces to resort to massive aerial firepower in an attempt to dislodge them. The Russian air force has been using long-range precision glide-bombs to target the Ukrainian forces, causing significant damage to the area. Ukrainian troops fear these bombs, which have been described as one of their biggest fears. The Ukrainian air force is working to protect the bridgehead, but reinforcements are needed to ensure the marines' success.

Ukraine's Shock Tactics No Match for Russia's Vast Tank Arsenal

Ukrainian marines have been employing aggressive and creative shock tactics in their assault along the Mokri Yaly River in southern Donetsk Oblast. However, their recent assault failed when a single Russian tank appeared, spoiling the attack. The marines, who are lightly equipped compared to Ukrainian army brigades, rely on speed and aggression to confuse and fracture dug-in Russian forces. While their thunderous assault tactics have been successful in some instances, they can be hindered if the tanks do not keep pace with the trucks, leaving the marines without heavy fire support. Despite setbacks, the Ukrainian marine brigades have gained valuable intelligence and have managed to push back Russian forces in other directions.
