The soldiers of the 1st Separate Tank Brigade added that the occupiers had been sent to a minefield. The enemy lost six pieces of equipment due to remote mining and bombing.

Also, some of the equipment got stuck on concrete fortifications called "dragon's teeth" that were installed by the Russians before the Ukrainian offensive in the Kursk region. "The only thing better than destroying the enemy is destroying the enemy on his own territory," the brigade said.

The specificity of work in the Kursk region is that maneuver operations are carried out. Both in defense and offense.

Both the enemy and the Ukrainian forces take advantage of this. However, many enemy infantry do not even reach the point that was set for them.

"Due to heavy losses, they are not ready to fight even in the Kursk region; they are not ready to fulfill the tasks assigned to them by their leadership," told Enei, a spokesman for the 36th Separate Marine Brigade.
