‘A Wall of Steel’: Ukrainian Troops Face Hard Slog in Offensive’s First Days
![]() The assault began Thursday night, with about 100 troops, two German-made Leopard II tanks and several American-made armored personnel carriers. The plan was to push south toward the Russian-occupied town of Tokmak, in the southern Zaporizhzhia region, according to a soldier who was part of the operation. Two other units would also push toward Tokmak from different axes. As soon as the regiment crossed a road outside the town of Mala Tokmak, the 28-year-old soldier said, the Russians began to pummel them with Grad rockets. The fields were mined. Russian helicopters and jet fighters buzzed overhead. The assault progressed less than 2 miles, the soldier said. One of the Leopards was hit and disabled. “They were just waiting for us…prepared positions everywhere,” he said. “It was a wall of steel. It was horrendous.” Several days into Ukraine’s long-awaited counteroffensive aimed at taking back land occupied by Russia, the scale of the challenges that Ukrainian troops face is already clear. Russian forces have spent months preparing for attacks in occupied parts of the country’s south, where the Ukrainians would like to push through and cut the land bridge that connects Russia to Crimea, which Moscow seized in 2014. Videos posted on social media have appeared to show the loss of a few Leopard tanks and several U.S.-made Bradley Fighting Vehicles in the southern Zaporizhzhia region, where flat, open fields offer almost no cover for an attacking force. After two weeks of rain, his unit’s U.S.-made MaxxPro armored vehicles don’t always have enough clearance for the marshy ground. “They were made for urban combat and the desert,” he said. “In our reality, they can get through but it’s a struggle.” New Ukrainian brigades are also struggling with some officers’ too-brief training and lack of combat experience, he said. “They are getting disoriented in stress situations,” he said. There isn’t enough Western weaponry for all of the Ukrainian units. Artillery spotters Taxist and Sus had just returned from the front in a battered blue Lada sedan, bought with their own money, which was their only transport. Where the Lada can’t go, they have to move on foot. Ukrainian troops across the southern front said they expected this offensive to be tougher than the ones last year, when Ukraine retook thousands of square miles in the northeastern Kharkiv region and southern Kherson region. “It’s very fortified,” said a veteran soldier known by his call sign Did, meaning Grandpa, who’s been taking part in the fighting in the southern part of the Donetsk region, near the border with the Zaporizhzhia region. “They are waiting for us.” Before the push toward Tokmak, his commander warned them that this time would be different. He set out as a machine-gunner on top of a Humvee, but ended up spending much of the night in a basement, while Leopards traded fire with Russian tanks. “We knew it was going to be hard,” he said. “Regardless, everyone’s morale was high, even when we heard the Leopard was taken out.” His squad was sent at around 6 a.m. on Friday to recover the Leopard, to make sure the Russians couldn’t seize it. As the team reached the tank, he heard it beeping, and walked around it to find a position to set up a machine gun and provide cover. About 50 yards from the tank, he stepped on a mine, which blew off most of his foot. It was part of the job, he said, adding that, after he gets a prosthetic, he plans to return to the fight. sos |

Russia still has lots of equipment despite their losses. Their manufacturing plants are still building tanks, restoring those in storage etc... Ukraine on the other hand, is depending on "donation" to fight a war. How are you going to fight if you are so dependent on foreign aid? |
