Peter Burgess COMMENTARY
I am not at all comfortable with the modern YouTube. I recognise that it great 'technology', the the contant is another matter. I have no idea what is fact and what is fiction.
It annoys me that the boilerplate text advises me that some of the content has been generated by AI.
But it does not ell me how much and which! It is an American legal practice that is simply obnoxious, but has been around in all the time I have been based in the USA ... around 60 years!
If the story described in this YouTube is factual ... it is 'good news' ... but how to validate it is a conundrum!

- They sent everything. Two brigades, over
- a 100 armored vehicles, tanks, and
- scouts. But what followed was not
- victory.
- It was a disaster that played out in
- trenches, on minefields, and under the
- watchful eye of drones.
- [Music]
- This is not just a failed assault. It's
- a warning about the future of war. Let's
- explore the truth with Navy secrets.
- Russia launched a major ground operation
- with two whole brigades and over 100
- armored vehicles, including tanks and
- APCs.
- The attack began with a mechanized
- reconnaissance unit leading the push,
- but the mission fell apart almost
- immediately.
- One of the lead tanks hit a hidden mine
- while an APC was destroyed by Ukrainian
- artillery before reaching the front
- 1:03
- line.
- The blast scattered the Russian
- formation and caused chaos across their
- advance.
- Russian infantry jumped into Ukrainian
- dugouts, hoping to hold ground, but they
- were pinned down by counterfire and
- failed to take control.
- The terrain worked against them. The
- area was filled with forest belts,
- trenches, and minefields that slowed
- movement and exposed vehicles to
- constant fire. Within minutes, what
- started as a planned breakthrough turned
- into a stalled and scattered offensive.
- Ukraine didn't need to do much at this
- point. Russia's momentum was already
- lost. Their lines were broken before the
- main force could fully enter the fight,
- leaving the front wide open for a
- counterattack.
- The failure of this first move gave
- Ukraine the opening it needed and their
- response came fast and with deadly
- precision.
- Ukraine responded fast with a
- wellplanned counterattack.
- Bradley fighting vehicles were used to
- 2:01
- carry troops straight to the front while
- providing intense covering fire.
- These armored vehicles played a key role
- by helping infantry move safely through
- dangerous terrain filled with craters,
- trenches, and mines.
- At the same time, Ukrainian artillery
- launched cluster munitions at Russian
- vehicles gathering behind the broken
- front line. These shells, releasing many
- small explosives, damaged multiple
- armored targets and slowed Russian
- reinforcements. The effect was immediate
- and deadly, especially against units
- trying to regroup.
- Ukrainian drones in the sky spotted
- another column of Russian vehicles
- approaching from the rear. The drone
- operators quickly sent the coordinates
- to nearby artillery teams who opened
- fire before the enemy even got close.
- This coordination between UAV
- surveillance and long range firepower
- made Russia's movement nearly
- impossible.
- Every Ukrainian weapon system played its
- part. Bradley's pushed forward,
- 3:01
- artillery struck hard, and drones gave
- realtime intelligence.
- The result was a second wave of damage
- before Russia could stabilize.
- This phase of the battle showed how
- technology and timing could change
- everything. Ukraine was not just
- reacting, it was controlling the field.
- After heavy losses at the front, Russian
- forces attempted to shift their assault
- to a different direction. Hoping to
- avoid direct artillery fire, they moved
- their remaining vehicles and troops onto
- a side road.
- But this new route was no safer.
- Ukrainian engineers mined the area
- earlier and the first vehicles quickly
- triggered explosions.
- At the same time, Ukrainian anti-tank
- missile teams using precise targeting
- struck the armored vehicles stuck in the
- narrow paths. Many of these hits came
- from hidden positions near the forest
- lines where Russian units had little
- visibility.
- 4:01
- Even worse for the Russians, their
- original scout team had already been
- wiped out. that left the remaining
- troops with no forward guidance and no
- way to detect threats in advance. In a
- desperate attempt to clear the path,
- Russia used APCs to find and trigger
- mines, but these vehicles were quickly
- destroyed as well.
- Their loss only added to the confusion.
- This phase proved that Russia could not
- outmaneuver Ukraine's defense even with
- changed tactics. Every move was
- predicted and countered in real time. As
- Ukraine held firm, it became clear that
- Russia's assault was losing momentum,
- not just in firepower, but in direction
- and command control. As Russian forces
- struggled to advance, Ukraine turned to
- technology to take control of the
- battlefield. Small FPV drones flew
- non-stop above the front lines,
- searching for targets among stalled
- Russian vehicles.
- 5:02
- Once located, the drones dived into
- armored carriers and tanks with deadly
- accuracy, often destroying them in a
- single hit. In addition to drones,
- Ukraine deployed anti-tankg guided
- missiles, ATGMs,
- along narrow routes and forest lines.
- These missile teams were well hidden and
- had clear lines of fire.
- When Russian vehicles entered these
- zones, they became easy targets.
- Multiple armored personnel carriers and
- supply trucks were destroyed before
- reaching their assigned positions.
- Bradley infantry fighting vehicles also
- played a key role.
- While Ukrainian foot soldiers moved
- between trenches and tree lines, the
- Bradley stayed back and delivered
- supporting fire.
- Their 25 mm cannons and advanced sensors
- allowed them to suppress Russian
- infantry and give Ukrainian troops the
- time needed to regroup or advance.
- 6:02
- This combination of modern technology
- and clever positioning helped Ukraine
- stop Russia's movements.
- Instead of significant battles, each
- strike was calculated and exact, proving
- that smaller, smarter weapons could
- control the fight more than sheer
- numbers.
- And while drones hovered above and
- missiles hit from the flanks, the
- Russians were slowly losing their
- ability to move, fight, or respond.
- Western tanks finally joined the battle
- as Ukraine pushed back against Russian
- pressure. Leopard 2 tanks, donated by
- NATO allies, took positions behind the
- front lines. These German-made vehicles
- did not move fast into the minefields,
- but stayed distant, providing powerful
- support with long range fire. Their
- 120 mm guns fired across open terrain,
- targeting Russian armored vehicles
- trapped near forests and trenches. Each
- 7:00
- shot was chosen carefully, aiming to
- stop the enemy without putting the tank
- at risk. Their fire helped Ukrainian
- infantry stay protected and slowed down
- Russia's second wave of attacks. Unlike
- lighter vehicles, Leopard tanks are
- designed to survive under heavy fire.
- Their thick armor and thermal sights
- allowed them to fight day and night.
- This gave Ukraine a stable firing
- platform and made it harder for Russia
- to break through with speed or surprise.
- The Leopard's role was not to lead a
- charge, but to reinforce defense lines.
- While drones and Bradley's hit from the
- sides and sky, the Leopards brought the
- weight of Western technology into the
- center of the fight.
- With each shot from the leopards,
- Ukraine reminded Russia that this battle
- was no longer just local. It now had the
- backing of some of the world's strongest
- military machines. After the first
- assault collapsed, Russian forces tried
- 8:00
- again with fresh troops and more armored
- vehicles.
- This second wave looked stronger, but
- followed the same roads and made the
- same mistakes. As the new column moved
- closer to Ukrainian defense lines, it
- quickly ran into landmines and longrange
- artillery strikes. Ukrainian drones
- spotted the convoy early, sending
- coordinates back to hidden gun crews.
- Artillery teams didn't wait. They fired
- cluster shells that exploded over the
- entire area, damaging tanks and APCs
- before they could even form up for an
- attack. Smoke screens and rapid
- movements did little to hide the
- Russians from drone eyes. The
- battlefield layout didn't change. There
- were still deep trenches, forest belts,
- and open fields full of traps. Russian
- troops had no clear path forward. Their
- tanks stopped in confusion or were
- destroyed trying to move around
- obstacles. Despite better preparation,
- this wave had no element of surprise.
- 9:02
- The Ukrainian side was already watching
- every step with drones and sensors.
- With each mile, the Russian advance
- became slower and more dangerous. By the
- end of the second push, Russian hopes of
- turning the battle had faded. A broken
- formation remained, stuck between
- minefields and falling shells without a
- way to break through. During the chaos
- of Russia's second wave, a group of
- Ukrainian soldiers became trapped in a
- frontline trench. Russian artillery and
- small arms fire surrounded their
- position and escape seemed impossible.
- The situation grew worse as one soldier
- was seriously wounded and told his team
- to leave him behind to improve their
- chances.
- But the Ukrainian command refused to
- give up on their men. A Bradley fighting
- vehicle was dispatched under fire to
- reach the encircled group.
- 10:00
- With support from drones and covering
- fire, the Bradley crossed dangerous
- ground filled with mines and debris.
- As the enemy tried to close in, the
- rescue crew moved fast.
- The trapped soldiers climbed aboard,
- helping the wounded as they evacuated.
- The vehicle didn't stop. It pushed
- through fire and reached friendly lines,
- bringing the team back alive. This
- rescue was not just a tactical move. It
- showed the coordination between infantry
- and armored support, even in the most
- dangerous moments. It also reminded
- Russian forces that Ukrainian defenses
- were still strong and united. With one
- team saved and morale lifted, Ukraine
- gained a small but essential victory
- that made the next Russian push even
- harder to succeed.
- By the end of the battle, Russia had
- lost more than just vehicles. It lost
- momentum and morale. Russian forces
- failed to break through Ukrainian lines
- despite deploying two whole brigades and
- 11:01
- over 100 armored units, including tanks
- and APCs. Their tactics, which relied on
- old style frontal attacks, could not
- match the complexity of modern defense.
- Ukraine's layered system proved highly
- effective. Minefields stopped early
- advances, artillery destroyed columns
- caught in traffic, and drones hunted
- down exposed units. Anti-tank missiles,
- and NATO supplied vehicles like the
- Bradley and Leopard 2 added another
- layer of pressure Russia couldn't
- overcome.
- Each time Russian troops regrouped, they
- were detected by UAVs and struck before
- they could gain ground. Even smoke and
- diversion tactics failed to protect them
- from the eyes in the sky. This operation
- showed the strength of asymmetric
- warfare, where a smaller,
- well-coordinated force with smart
- weapons can defeat a larger one using
- outdated strategies. Ukraine's success
- wasn't just about firepower, but timing,
- technology, and teamwork. In the end,
- 12:02
- the battlefield was filled with
- burnedout tanks, wrecked APCs, and
- broken plans. Proof that brute force
- alone is no longer enough to win modern
- wars. This battle was more than a clash
- of tanks and troops. It was a turning
- point in how modern wars are fought.
- Russia brought numbers, but Ukraine
- brought precision. With drones, smart
- munitions, and well-coordinated units,
- Ukraine made every Russian move a
- mistake.
- From the first failed push to the final
- retreat, this operation exposed the cost
- of relying on outdated tactics in a
- battlefield ruled by technology. The
- message is clear. Size and strength no
- longer guarantee victory. In today's
- wars, information, coordination, and
- agility decide who stands and who falls.
- And that wraps up what Navy Secret has
