## Frontline report: Russian military suffers devastating losses in Tolstyi Lug, Kursk Oblast

Authored by euromaidanpress.com

However, the devastating losses inflicted by Ukraine’s layered defenses seem to have exhausted their reserves of armor in Kursk, leaving them with no options other than to resort to pure infantry assaults on foot with even more catastrophic outcomes.

This has prompted the Russians to change their approach and throw all their efforts to break through from the north around Tolstyi Lug.

The initial Russian assault involved several armored personnel carriers attempting to bypass a large local water reservoir and advance southward.

Once the Russian vehicles were detected, Ukrainian forces swiftly engaged them with Javelin anti-tank missiles, obliterating the convoy on the spot.

This initial Russian attempt aimed at locating the Ukrainian fire positions and checking how quickly they would respond.

The main Russian idea was to overwhelm the defenders and penetrate their line with brute force, prompting them to retreat further east.

Overall, the relentless Russian attempts to break through the Ukrainian defenses around Tolstyi Lug have resulted in catastrophic losses, both in personnel and equipment. »
