Ukrainian infantry in armored trucks reverse a year of Russian gains near Lyman
Ukrainian infantry riding in armored trucks reversed a year of Russian advances near Lyman in eastern Ukraine. Robots cleared mines and destroyed bunkers, but soldiers still had to hold the ground.
Ukrainian soldiers who drove into Russian-held positions in armored trucks have reversed a year of Russian gains near Lyman in eastern Ukraine, according to the Ukrainian outlet Euromaidan Press.
The report stresses that most of the public credit has gone to robotic and unmanned systems, which cleared mines and blew up bunkers. Even so, the publication says, troops still had to ride in and hold the ground that the machines had opened up.
The piece uses the episode to argue that armored assaults involving infantry have not become obsolete, even though attention has focused on robots.
The information available in the source is limited. It gives no details on the operation's dates, the forces involved, casualties or the size of the territory recovered.
