"Russian Troops Suffer Heavy Vehicle Losses in Advance on Foot in Ukraine"
TL;DR
Russia has likely lost around 200 armored vehicles in the intense fighting for control over Avdiivka, Ukraine, and is now reportedly forcing its troops to advance on foot. The losses have been so staggering that Russia may have resorted to "human wave tactics," resulting in a significant loss of human life. The UK's Ministry of Defense stated that Russian forces have switched to conducting dismounted infantry-based assaults, suffering huge losses as troops advance across open ground. This offensive is considered the most costly Russian assault in three weeks for a single city since the beginning of the war.
