Kursk becomes a tank grave for Bradley and Marter

Heavy losses in the Ukrainian war: During the Kursk counteroffensive, numerous tanks fell victim to Russian defenses.

In the midst of the Kursk-Ukraine war, Kyiv is going through difficult times. President Volodymyr Zelensky is seeking Western support for his “victory plan” as his country continues to lose territory in clashes with Russia. Vladimir Putin’s forces managed to retake the city of Vuhledar, which had recently become a tank graveyard for the Russians, with heavy losses. The enemy, who invaded the country in violation of international law in 2022, continues to advance on the front.

Losses in the Kursk Offensive in the Ukraine War – Russia is probably gaining ground

Ukraine’s offensive in Russia’s Kursk region is halted to provide relief to the Ukrainian war front and postpone hostilities. Initially celebrated as a surprise victory, the joy soon faded. Despite – or perhaps because of – this situation, Russia continues to seize territory in the Ukrainian war, as Wuhleder’s example illustrates. At the same time, the Ukrainian advance in the Kursk stalls and significant losses in the Ukrainian war.

Abdi Aladinov, commander of the Chechen special forces, said in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper: “Of the Kursk settlements occupied by the enemy, 15 have already been liberated.” For example, Ukraine’s activity around the town of Veselo in Kursk Oblast also appears to have been halted. A recent video highlights Ukraine’s heavy losses in the region.

Tank drama in Kursk – Ukraine suffers loss of Bradley, Marder and other tanks

According to Forbes, on September 20, Ukraine stopped a combat group on a road near Veselo. The group reportedly carried Western weapons. However, Russia’s 106th Guards Airborne Division reportedly repulsed the attack. Subsequent attempts also seem to have ended in failure.

The same Russian unit has now released drone video showing the situation around Veselo in the Kursk region. This illustrates how expensive this initiative has been for Ukraine. The nearly one-minute clip shows 17 destroyed Western vehicles, including Western-supplied tanks. Vehicle losses reportedly included a German Mortar infantry fighting vehicle, a Bradley tank, two American Stryker wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, and tanks from Sweden and Turkey.

Losses in the Ukraine war are also high for Russia – Putin is withdrawing probably 50,000 soldiers

Casualties or not, the number of Western weapons involved in the failed push underscores the importance of Ukraine’s mission in the Kursk region. According to Forbes, its purpose may be to support a major push into the Glushkov region.
