minefields and russian defenses are so heavy, they re so intense, that it makes it very slow going for the ukrainians to advance southwards. and the russians have been quite innovative in some of the things they ve done. so this, for example, is their tmn 62 anti tank mine. now, some of ukraine s armor will withstand a strike by one of these, but not by two. so what are the russians do? they re putting two of them, one on top of another, to blow up through the hull of a ukrainian armored vehicle. and this footage here shows a whole bunch of these russian anti tank mines that have disabled a western supplied tank. another weapon that the russians are using very effectively is the alligator, the k 52 attack helicopter. so given all these factors, how successful could this counter offensive actually be? the ukrainian forces wanted to retake all the occupied territories, including crimea. i do not think that that will happen any time soon. what ukraine does have in its favor, though, is so
