Russian terrorist forces have recently begun to use armored vehicles more actively in tactical attacks at the front. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) notes that after the summer of 2025, Russians have been conducting mechanized assaults in the Donetsk and Zaporizhia regions.
According to experts, this may indicate an improvement in the repair base of Russian forces and an increase in equipment stocks. They may be testing the Ukrainian defense or experimenting with new tactical methods. Such an increase in the use of armored vehicles could be a preparation for larger-scale strikes.
“Russian forces may temporarily increase the use of armored vehicles to test weak points in the Ukrainian defense across various front sections,” the report emphasizes.
Additionally, specialists warn that the increase in production of Russian missiles and strike drones may lead to significantly more strikes on Ukraine in the future. The mass production of drones at the military factory in Russia could have serious implications for the security of our country, even if these factories are far from the Ukrainian border.
Information about the increase in the use of armored vehicles and changes in the tactics of Russian terrorists is a sign of the next phase of the conflict, when larger and more coordinated attacks on Ukraine by the occupiers are possible. This situation requires strengthening defenses and enhancing vigilance from Ukrainian military personnel and the civilian population.
