First came Russia’s “turtle tank”, a metal shed rumbling across the battlefield. Then Ukraine laughed at the so-called “hairy tank”, coated in long, wavy metal wires.

U.S. seizure of Russian tanker marks rare escalation in sanctions enforcement against "dark fleet," but experts say move unlikely to trigger confrontation.

Russian forces are attempting to create a beachhead for new offensive operations in Ukraine's northeast, potentially setting the stage for an "advance toward the city of Sumy," the Ukrainian military reported on Jan.

Russia is reintroducing tanks in Ukraine using paired tank tactics with drone support to counter Ukrainian FPV drones, but logistics, EW, and detection limits cap impact.

Ukraine's commander in chief said December was the first month that its drones "neutralized" roughly as many Russians as were called up.

The development deepens the confrontation over the tanker formerly known as the Bella 1, which the United States wants to seize but which Russia has sought to protect.
