Ukrainian infantrymen vowed on Sunday to resume fighting shortly after their Bradley armored vehicles were damaged or destroyed during an assault on Russian positions last week.
A group of Ukrainian Bradley Fighting Vehicles, which were under the cover of German-made Leopard tanks, came under fire on Wednesday as the 47th Brigade launched an offensive in southeastern Zaporizhia.
Footage of the ambush, captured by drones and broadcast on Russian propaganda channels, showed several damaged vehicles.
Of the nine vehicles that were attached to the mechanized infantry unit of the unit - which was not the unit involved in the attack - six were destroyed, and three were damaged but could be repaired.
The group said it was confident Russian forces had received information about the impending attack, and noted it suspected a leaker in their ranks.
When asked if the attack was successful, a Ukrainian soldier noted that his battalion was able to capture very little ground.
Another Ukrainian soldier confirmed that "when our vehicles are repaired, we will return."
A note in the background of the news: Israel should carefully consider whether it wants to sell ultra-modern weapon systems to the Ukrainian army in light of the scourge of security leaks and the disappearance of weapons of all kinds and trading in them on the black market.
