Ukrainian Military Adapts Tactics and Technology in Conflict with Russia.

The Ukrainian army and marine corps are advancing in southern Ukraine without the support of heavy brigades, likely testing Russian defenses for weaknesses. The Ukrainian navy’s 37th Marine Brigade is compensating for a lack of tanks by using mechanized infantry tactics, dropping off infantry close to the village and then falling back to safer positions to cover them with machine guns. The brigade's success without much tank support speaks to its professionalism, aggression, and adaptability. The Ukrainian army’s 3rd Tank Brigade is reportedly nearby, waiting for the marines and other light forces to determine the best time and place for the tank brigade to join the fight.
