Ukrainian forces in a priority section of the front line near Avdiivka appear to have defeated a large Russian mechanized assault involving tanks and fighting vehicles over the weekend.

On March 30, Ukrainian troops outside occupied Avdiivka fought off a Russian battalion-sized mechanized assault, the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank, said.
ISW cited a Ukrainian serviceman who, on March 31, said that elements of Russia's 6th Tank Regiment sent 36 tanks and 12 BMP infantry fighting vehicles into a battle on the front line near Tonenke, a village east of Avdiivka.
The serviceman said Ukraine destroyed 12 tanks and eight IVFs. Footage shared by Ukraine showed some of the assault, including Russian tanks being destroyed by anti-tank guided missiles, according to open-source intelligence accounts on social media.
"This appears to be the first report of any elements of the 90th Tank Division participating in assaults following the Russian seizure of Avdiivka," ISW said in its latest update.
It added that the assault appeared to have failed, "suggesting that elements of Russia's uncommitted operational reserve near Avdiivka may be too degraded or otherwise unable to lead further Russian advances westward in the short term."
A photo posted on social media by open-source information accounts, what appears to be a screenshot from drone footage, showed the supposed aftermath of the assault, with destroyed tanks scattered across the battlefield.
The scale of the recent assault is significant, ISW explained, as Russia hasn't launched an assault this large since it began efforts to take Avdiivka last October.

It’s comedy watching the Mong tanks drive around in circles in open fields before they get blown up.
Putin and Russia may think they can win the long game, but they are so wrong. Putin thinks he’s smart, but he’s also human, and he’s going to die, probably sooner than later.
We don’t care. Just NO MORE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS’ MONEY — NO MORE MASSIVE INCREASES IN NATIONAL DEBT,
They should have invested in war materials... Not an American problem.
In 2014 we said Putin has Asperger.

Must be true, our MSM said so, quoting an anonymous source at the Pentagon.
Continuing to demilitarize Russia with 3% of our annual defense budget is the bargain of a lifetime.
Cuck Johnson is supposedly bringing up funding for Ukraine when Congress returns next week.
Nothing for our border.

A deal is good for the world and good for America. And we get rid of our old stuff and send it to Ukraine to defend themselves while rebuilding and modernizing our stuff. Win-win.
Scratch a Russian, find a Mongol.
They should have invested in war materials... Not an American problem.

That’s what the Afghans said: America, the faithless friend.
America invests in much-billion dollar projects alike the Green New Deal,the Inflation Reduction Act student loan forgiveness, and EVs everywhere. And no one complains, just begrudges a few billion for a people that were invaded and are fighting for their lives.
“Let ‘em die” is the new GOP cry for oppressed peoples around the world. The only way they can get reliable help from money grubbing Americans is to cross the southern boarder in the millions and then live free like kings.
Have fun with your cosplay, until you get drafted in 4 years.
Then you’ll be working for us taxpayers.
