That’s what they call the attacks that fail
Or they call them proooobes
Now, if you wanna call the Russian Defense Chief a propagandist putting out bullshit the whole intel community can easily discredit with BDA from last night……then ignore this. Note this was one battle among many

Today at 1.30 am in the Zaporozhye direction, the enemy attempted to break through the defense with the forces of the 47th mechanized brigade, numbering up to 1,500 people and 150 armored vehicles.
The enemy was detected in a timely manner, and a preventive strike was delivered by artillery, aviation and anti-tank weapons. During the two-hour battle, Ukrainian losses amounted to 30 tanks, 11 infantry fighting vehicles, up to 350 people.
The enemy was stopped in all four directions and retreated with heavy losses. The reserve forces specially trained by Kiev to carry out a breakthrough in the Zaporozhye direction did not fulfill their task.
Shoigu
If the so-called Western coalition delivered 150 tanks to Ukraine for this offensive campaign….they lost 20% of them last night in a 2 hour battle
It was designed that way as it was reconsider in force, not the offensive, with the armor withdrawing before your heroes hit then with arty.
Soggy Shoigu is an idiot, and a liar.
