Five Ukrainian brigades control 400 square miles of Kursk region in Russia

After Ukraine began its invasion of Russia's Kursk region, the number of confirmed Ukrainian brigades in and around the invasion zone has grown to at least five: four army mechanized brigades and one brigade from the Independent Attack Aviation Force.
According to Forbes, in total these units could include up to 10,000 troops and 600 armored vehicles.
"In four days, five brigades have partially or completely occupied about 400 square miles of the Kursk region and captured dozens of Russian troops. The brigades may not be staying in Russia, but there are currently no signs that they are slowing down their attacks," Forbes writes.
As the article recalls, in the first hours of the Ukrainian offensive, the direct participation of three brigades was confirmed: the 22nd and 88th mechanized brigades, as well as the 80th airborne assault brigade.
But on Thursday, the 116th Mechanized Brigade posted a video taken by the Horn drone group showing the brigade's tanks and armored personnel carriers moving toward Kursk. A day later, the 61st Mechanized Brigade also made its presence known in a video from the Russian town of Sudzha.
Additionally, the 49th Artillery Brigade is about 30 miles from the site of the Battle of Kursk. Also in the area is the 27th Artillery Brigade, which is the only HIMARS operator, Forbes notes.
On Friday, for example, a video was released showing a HIMARS attacking a column of Russian troops moving toward Kursk. Pictures taken after the attack showed seven destroyed trucks and many dead soldiers.
The shelling helps explain how the Ukrainians were able to advance so far and so quickly. The artillery appears to be preventing fresh Russian troops from reaching the battlefield, Forbes notes.
At the same time, the article emphasizes that the artillery blockade reduces one of the main dangers for the Ukrainian operation - the risk that Russia will isolate Ukrainian units.
"But the Russians can't isolate the Ukrainians unless they can break through Ukrainian artillery to attack the supply lines of the main Ukrainian forces. And every day of delay cements the Ukrainians' gains as more
