The Russian army concentrated its “strange tanks” in the Kharkiv area， but they were repelled by a fierce attack by the Ukrainian army video included ．
■Has the concentrated use of Turtle tanks failed? On August 14, 2024, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense announced that it had repelled the Russian Turtle tank corps invading the Kharkiv area. [Video] Full view from the sky… Turtle tank corps under intense fire The footage released on the official website shows a total of six Turtle tanks marching forward. However, it appears that the Haltia Brigade of the Ukrainian National Guard was lying in wait in the area, and they were attacked by artillery fire and suicide drones, causing one after another to burst into flames or be stranded. These vehicles, known in Japan as “Tortoise Tanks” or “Turtle Tanks,” are tanks that have additional armor covering not only the turret but also the entire body except for the front, so that they cannot be destroyed even if they are hit directly by a suicide drone or missile. In the past, the Turtle Tank has been deployed at the front of convoys advancing along the front lines, and has been shown undergoing attacks by suicide drones. However, this time the Russian army appears to have adopted a concentrated approach to using these tanks, perhaps in order to force a breakthrough to the front line. *Image of the turtle tank is from the source Related threads Commander of Ukrainian army reveals that “1,000 square kilometers of Russian territory are under control” ★4 [Flea Market★] Ukrainian army’s Kursk invasion forces begin digging trenches, preparing to hang on for the long term; Russian war correspondent says “trench warfare is the worst possible outcome” ★4 [Sesame Amberjack★] Ukrainian army reveals that “74 settlements in Kursk Oblast” were seized in cross-border attack on Russia [Sesame Amberjack★] Part of Russian army withdraws from Ukrainian territory in response to cross-border attack, US newspaper reports ★2 [Sesame Amberjack★] Ukrainian army advances further in Kursk Oblast, Russia, in cross-border attack; 100 Russian soldiers arrested [Sesame Amberjack★] Putin, taken by surprise by Ukrainian army’s cross-border attack, enraged, says “I was deceived” and search for culprits begins [Goma Amberjack★] Russia has no elite troops and has to rely on new recruits.

Russia and Ukraine have a troop ratio of 5 to 1. Ukraine, being a minority, will avoid frontal infantry vs. infantry clashes as much as possible, and will instead focus on taking them down with drones or damaging their logistics.
