Ukrainian Recon Vehicles Ready to Break Through Russian Lines

Ukrainian forces, potentially including the 23rd and 31st Mechanized Brigades, have reportedly pushed back Russian defenders in southern Ukraine. The Ukrainian navy’s 37th Marine Brigade, equipped with French-made AMX-10RC reconnaissance vehicles, may be in position to exploit the gap in the Russian line. However, the lightly-equipped brigade would need help from heavier army formations to break through Russian defenses. It is unclear whether this is a small-scale raid or the start of a wider counteroffensive.
