An elite Ukrainian airborne unit has entered the battlefield, immediately making substantial gains.
The 82nd Air Assault Brigade is now operating around the village of Robotyne, in western Zaporizhzhia.
The 82nd is equipped with Western-supplied weaponry far superior to any of that of its foes. Notably, this formation fields Challenger 2 main battle tanks, capable of knocking out Russian armor at long range.
The deployment of this elite unit at this time marks a significant development for the ongoing counter-offensive, as it likely means that Ukrainian military planners believe a push southwards backed by powerful hardware can punch a deep hole in Russian defences in the sector.
