The elite 47th Mechanized Brigade, the main user of Ukraine’s American-made armored vehicles, was in bloody combat for 15 months before it finally rotated off the front line this fall—but even this belated break came to an abrupt end when Ukraine’s invasion of Kursk Oblast in western Russia drew the brigade back into action.

Russia launched more than a hundred drones at Ukraine overnight and early Friday, killing one person and wounding eight others, officials said.

A recent report said that Ukraine had been redirecting Russian explosive drones back toward Russia and Belarus by confusing their navigation systems.
