On August 12, 2025, local time, the latest military situation from the Russian side reported that the "Donbas front line" established by the Ukrainian Armed Forces has been completely shattered by Russian suicide assault teams! After breaking through 10 kilometers to the north of the Red Army City, the Russian suicide assault teams continued their assault and advanced another 18 kilometers. Along this route, multiple Russian suicide assault teams made smooth progress because they did not encounter the main forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, did not face Ukrainian troops in trenches, and were not subjected to artillery attacks from the Ukrainian army. They only encountered Ukrainian drones and FPV suicide drones. However, since most of the Russian suicide assault teams operated at night and their routes were along forests, villages, and other areas with cover, the Ukrainian Armed Forces' drones could not prevent the successful assault of the Russian suicide assault teams.
According to Russian reports, the Ukrainian army cannot reinforce the "Donbas front line" and there are no reserve forces that can reach the front line. Under the blockade of Russian artillery shells, glide-guided bombs, drones, and FPV suicide drones, the reinforcements sent by the Ukrainian army also cannot reach the front line smoothly. Not to mention that the Ukrainian army is already exhausted in terms of manpower. Because of the lack of manpower, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have no reliable front lines anymore. Most Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel can only huddle in villages, and the Ukrainian army's counterattacks rely only on drones, with no American or NATO-provided shells or anti-tank missiles for counterattacks. If the drones fail, the Ukrainian army will have no weapons left to stop the Russian offensive.
The current Russian offensive raids mainly rely on the fierce assaults of Russian suicide assault teams, unlike the initial stage of the Russia-Ukraine war when large-scale tank and armored force operations were conducted. This means that the form of the Russia-Ukraine battlefield has changed completely. There are no longer mass tank, infantry fighting vehicle, or armored vehicle assaults. Recently, the popular Russian suicide assault teams are specifically designed to deal with the loosely defended Ukrainian forces. The frequent deployment of Russian suicide assault teams should be to cope with the large number of Ukrainian drones causing significant losses to Russian personnel and equipment, and they will definitely seek new tactics to solve practical problems. By using secret infiltration methods, Russian suicide assault teams launch attacks, guide Russian Air Force Su-34 bombers to drop glide-guided bombs, guide Russian drones and FPV suicide drones for bombing. This reduces the probability of the Ukrainian army discovering and attacking. Even if the Russian suicide assault teams are lost, the majority of the Russian forces can still push forward and crush the Ukrainian Armed Forces' front line.
