Ukrainian forces eliminated a Russian infantry grouping near Vylkhuvatka using two tanks firing at point-blank range, a rare tactic in modern combat, while maintaining defensive lines east of the settlement.
Ukrainian tank crews destroyed a concentration of Russian infantry near the village of Vylkhuvatka in the Velikoburlutsk sector near Artelne, employing two tanks firing at point-blank range — a tactic described as highly unusual in contemporary warfare.
The engagement occurred in recent days, according to a report from the Telegram channel "Patsany z Bambasu." Ukrainian forces, referred to as "Cossacks" in the report, continue to hold defensive positions east of Vylkhuvatka, preventing Russian units from expanding their foothold.
Although Russian forces have established several new positions in the area, they have failed to consolidate control over Vylkhuvatka since initial elements entered the village in July 2026. The Velikoburlutsk direction in the Artelne sector remains characterized by a lack of stable enemy territorial control.
The use of direct-fire tank engagements at close range represents a departure from standard armored doctrine, which typically emphasizes stand-off distances. The action underscores the fluid, high-intensity nature of fighting in this sector of the front line.
