Part 6/8:
To execute their strategy, Ukrainian troops, modeled after elite U.S. Marine units, launched an assault against Russian trench positions south of Uska. Well-equipped with M8V Oshkosh armored vehicles, Ukrainian forces provided suppressive machine-gun fire, facilitating the dismounting Marines to engage Russian defenses directly.
After a prolonged and fierce battle, Ukrainian forces succeeded in capturing these vital positions. This victory not only resulted in the capture of several Russian soldiers but also yielded crucial intelligence regarding upcoming operations. The Ukrainians managed to draw Russian forces into a tactical scramble, forcing them to redirect their focus towards defending against this counter-offensive.
