โ high importance for Russian command, using substantial time and resources
โ destroyed modern/modernized alongside outdated equipment
โ unprecedented losses (far more than 109 heavy vehicles) already exceeding the failed crossing of Siversky Donets '22 and probably the failed attacks on #Vuhledar Nov '22โApr '23
