Armored vehicles aren't making a difference—Russia is suffering significant losses in the Kursk region.

This is reported by Forbes.

Failed Assaults by Occupants in the Kursk Region

The article states that Russian forces are attempting to storm the positions of Ukrainian soldiers from the 47th Mechanized Brigade, deploying expensive elite equipment in the process. However, so far, there are no visible results from these actions, and the valuable armored vehicles are merely turning into heaps of smoldering wreckage.

"The Russians are desperately trying to liberate the Kursk region and are suffering enormous losses," said a UAV operator from the 47th Brigade.

Despite this, the publication notes that such large-scale losses do not imply that Russia is losing the war, which has been ongoing for four years. It is suggested that while Ukraine may not be deploying as many vehicles to the front lines and is not experiencing similar defeats, it also faces serious challenges along the entire front.

Forbes reported on the recent battles that occurred in the Kursk region, involving the 155th Separate Naval Infantry Brigade and the 234th Air Assault Regiment of the Russian Federation. In just three days, the occupiers lost 14 BMPs and three T-80 tanks. Shortly after, the Ukrainian forces eliminated at least four enemy tanks and armored vehicles, along with another pickup truck.

"These assaults were atypical, as the Russian assault groups, which were traveling in armored vehicles and tanks, began their attacks in broad daylight and approached the Ukrainian positions using the same roads they had taken in previous unsuccessful attempts to reclaim the Kursk region," the article states.

The enemy group was immediately detected by drones from the 47th Brigade, which targeted the Russian column. The soldiers themselves are puzzled as to why the invaders have been attacking the same location for three months, where they consistently face failures.

Russian Losses in the Kursk Region

"The losses of Russia and North Korea in the Kursk region are unacceptable by any reasonable standards. Ukrainian officials have reported 30,000 Russians killed and wounded. Additionally, there are reports of around four thousand dead and wounded soldiers from North Korea, including high-ranking officers. Russia is losing so much armored equipment in the Kursk region that regiments and brigades on other parts of the front lack sufficient resources," the publication writes.

According to Forbes, Ukraine also needs fresh forces, particularly infantry. Ukrainian authorities have sent thousands of recruits to newly formed brigades, but they are lacking experienced leaders.

"The Russians are expending their last mechanized reserves to gain just a few meters of territory. Meanwhile, the Ukrainians are holding them back and losing personnel. Given the competing dynamics, a significant question arises: which army will collapse first?" the article noted.

It is worth mentioning that due to the heavy losses of Russian and North Korean troops in the Kursk region, North Korea will send reinforcements to Russia.

Furthermore, Ukrainian paratroopers captured a North Korean soldier. He was injured and attempted to take his own life to avoid being captured by the Defense Forces.
