A late-June treeline battle may have defined the limits of the Ukrainian marine corps’ methods.
, shot by Ukrainian and Russian forces and posted on social media, depict an aggressive, creative assault by Ukrainian marines west of Makarivka near the Mokri Yaly river valley in late June.. The marine infantry squads clearly outpaced their supporting tanks, leaving behind the heavy firepower they needed to hold onto their gains.
A 2,000-person Ukrainian marine brigade typically rides in dozens of armored trucks supported by just a single company with 10 T-80BV or T-64BV tanks, whereas an army brigade might have a battalion of 30 or more tanks plus scores of tracked infantry fighting vehicles. The 35th Brigade assault that liberated Makarivka the second week of June illustrated these shock tactics. Marine vehicles formed a single column—Mastiff trucks followed by T-80 tanks followed by more Mastiffs—and rolled toward Makarivka along a dirt track., leaving them to the tanks to suppress. But the tanks themselves fired on the move, their crews clearly understanding that the assault’s momentum mattered most. This confused and terrified the bypassed Russians.
The trucks moved fastest, however, reaching the far end of the trench complex ahead of the tanks. The trucks halted and dropped their ramps—and marines piled out and stormed the trenches.
