Ukrainian HIMARS Ambush Devastates Russian Forces After Feigned Retreat
In a coordinated ambush near Sverdlikovo, the Ukrainian 225th Assault Battalion inflicted heavy casualties on a Russian force in Kursk Oblast. Employing a feigned retreat, the battalion lured the Russians into a HIMARS strike, utilizing cluster munitions to decimate their ranks. This successful operation, involving precise coordination between infantry and artillery, highlights the effectiveness of Ukrainian tactics and weaponry against concentrated Russian advances. The ambush contributes to the significant losses—estimated by President Zelensky at 30,000—suffered by Russian and North Korean forces in the region over the past three months.
