The frontlines in Kharkiv have completely collapsed for Russian forces. Ukraine has just unleashed Operation Vivaldi, a massive three-stage counteroffensive that successfully reclaimed 176 square kilometers. But the absolute game-changer on the battlefield is the deployment of the new "Hedgehog Tanks" by the 475th CODE 9.2 Regiment. Fortified with metal cages and spikes to repel kamikaze strikes, this heavy armor is now escorted by a lethal swarm of "Baba Yaga" heavy bomber drones and FPVs, creating a terrifying new armored doctrine. The result? One of the deadliest days in modern military history, with Russian forces losing 2,020 troops, 47 artillery systems, and hundreds of vehicles in a single 24-hour window. In this SITREP, we analyze Ukraine's devastating Hedgehog Tanks and the total collapse of Putin's northern encirclement.
