However, recent video footage confirms that the Ukrainian army is using one of Ukraine's strongest and fastest brigades - the 80th Air Assault Brigade, which has joined the invasion of Russia. This brigade uses former Soviet and American equipment, as confirmed by available videos and photos. Ukrainian armored vehicles, including tanks, a demining machine, and wheeled armored personnel carriers, are passing through the southern Kursk region of Russia. The Russian command was surprised and puzzled by the attack and the actions of the Ukrainian commanders. However, there is a risk that the lack of artillery, anti-mine, and logistical support may negatively affect the success of the operation.
