The vehicles have won praise from soldiers — even after they’ve hit mines, most people inside survive with just minor injuries — but they have not been able to breach Russia’s defenses alone.

Zaluzhny has said modern fighter jets, such as the U.S.-made F-16, and other systems are needed to better support ground operations."

Rather than try to break through with the infantry fighting vehicles and battle tanks that Western allies provided to aid Ukraine in this counteroffensive, units are moving forward, slowly, on foot.

“You can no longer do anything with just a tank... because the minefield is too deep, and sooner or later, it will stop and then it will be destroyed by concentrated fire”"

Text from article: As a result, Kyiv’s forces have changed strategy, Ukrainian military personnel said. Rather than try to break through with the infantry fighting vehicles and battle tanks that Western allies provided to aid Ukraine in this counteroffensive, units are moving forward, slowly, on foot. “You can no longer do anything with just a tank with some armor, because the minefield is too deep, and sooner or later, it will stop and then it will be destroyed by concentrated fire,” Gen. Valery Zaluzhny, Ukraine’s military chief, said recently in an interview with The Washington Post.

"In a painstakingly slow process that has come to define the speed of the Ukrainian #counteroffensive, small groups of sappers on the front lines are crawling across minefields — sometimes literally on their stomachs — to detonate Russia’s defenses and clear a path for troops to advance.

...Areas between 3 - 10 miles deep... have been densely mined with antitank and antipersonnel #mines and trip wires."

Screen shot of a Mastodon post with the text: "Ukrainians are trying for now to save the few they do have by doing the job manually. Sapper units — sometimes a group of just four people — will often wait for twilight to clear paths, as they are too visible in the daylight and can be seen through night-vision devices in the dark. Walking with a metal detector is unrealistic, sappers said, because they are too visible. So they crawl, relying on their vision to spot mines." https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/07/15/ukraine-war-russia-mines-counteroffensive/ #Ukraine #Russia #War #News
