Ukraine's military continues to make significant advances into Russia's Kursk region, thanks in part to critical support from Polish military equipment.

Bolstered by Poland

According to Tech Ukrainian forces, bolstered by Polish-made tanks and armored vehicles, have steadily gained ground, seizing several square kilometers of Russian territory.

The Ukrainian army’s success near Kursk is attributed not only to strategic planning but also to the effectiveness of the Polish-supplied military hardware. Ukrainian forces are employing PT-91 Twardy tanks, 9K33M2 Osa missile systems, and Rosomak armored vehicles to great effect in their offensive.

The PT-91 Twardy tanks, known for their durability and reliability, have been instrumental in the Ukrainian advance.

The 9K33M2 Osa missile systems, crucial for air defense, have provided cover for Ukrainian troops, enabling them to operate more freely in the contested area. Additionally, the Rosomak armored vehicles, produced in Poland and designed for troop transport, have played a vital role in the ongoing conflict.

The Advance Continues

The Rosomak, a versatile wheeled armored vehicle, has been particularly useful due to its mobility and protective capabilities. It is equipped with a 30mm cannon and, in some models, the modern ZSSW-30 turret with Spike anti-tank missiles, making it a formidable asset in the Ukrainian offensive.

Despite Russian attempts to repel the Ukrainian forces using powerful Iskander missiles, the Ukrainian advance continues.

The combination of well-planned strategy and robust military hardware has enabled Ukraine to maintain its momentum in the Kursk region. As the conflict evolves, the support from Polish equipment remains a key factor in Ukraine’s ability to press forward on Russian soil.
