05 Oct: TANKS UNLEASHED! Ukrainians CUT OFF RUSSIAN BRIDGEHEAD! | War in Ukraine Explained

Video Summary

The Ukrainian military has deployed its elite third assault brigade to counter a Russian push in the Luhansk region, with the goal of stabilizing the defense line against a larger Russian force. The Russian objective is to gain control over the remaining areas of Luhansk and use the bridgeheads near Makiivka to launch assaults on the Northern Donet region. To achieve this, the third assault brigade launched a series of counterattacks, using thermite flamethrower drones to clear tree lines and create visibility for standard drone operators. The drones also provided real-time intel on Russian positions to Ukrainian artillery groups, which used their modern British as90 self-propelled artillery to devastating effect. The brigade’s ground forces, including advanced T64 BV tanks and M113 armored personnel carriers, then launched ground assaults to target remaining Russian strongpoints. Despite being outnumbered 2:1, the Ukrainians secured new positions, delaying the Russian advance and buying time for Ukrainian forces to fortify their defenses. This successful operation forced the Russians to divert forces to the northern flank, giving the Ukrainians an opportunity to reorganize and prepare for a potential push to cut off the Russian Makiivka bridgehead from the north.
