A Soviet-era T-72 tank and two US Bradley fighting vehicles operated by Kyiv’s 47th Mechanised Brigade were spotted beyond a Russian line of defence near Robotyne, a village in the Zaporizhzhia region, according to geolocated footage.
Russian military bloggers said Ukrainian forces had managed to breach through defensive lines in places south of Orikhiv, a town around 6 miles north of Roboytne.
Footage has previously shown damaged Ukrainian armour stranded in a dense Russian-laid minefield between the two settlements.
Vladimir Rogov, the Russian-appointed head of occupied Zaporizhzhia, said Kyiv’s forces had advanced with more than 100 armoured vehicles, including German-made Leopard tanks and American-made Bradley fighting vehicles.
In recent days, footage shared on social media appeared to show the 47th Brigade had been brought into the battle.
The brigade was one of nine equipped and trained by Nato countries ahead of Ukraine’s long-heralded counter-offensive.
It is a sign Kyiv has decided to commit thousands of well-trained troops, previously held back in anticipation for a breakthrough, to the assault.
