The Russians are determined to break through Ukrainian lines outside Kurakhove, just west of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine. On Sept. 12, the Russians attacked with 46 vehicles a record for that sector. Exactly a week later on Thursday, they broke their own record and attacked with 52 vehicles. Both attacks failed. The Ukrainian 46th Air Mobile Brigade, holding the line between Donetsk in the east and Kurakhove in the west, fought back with thermite-spewing drones, artillery, tanks and infantry and destroyed, disabled or damaged 44 of the 98 attacking vehicles while killing 72 Russians on Thursday alone.
