Offensive in the Kursk region: Ukraine uses American bombs, and Britain has given permission to use its equipment.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have enlisted air support in the Kursk region offensive, mainly Soviet fighter jets. According to Forbes, a Ukrainian Su-27 struck the Russian command post in Tyotkino. American JDAM aerial bombs were used in the attack.

However, the Ukrainian army is refraining from using F-16 aircraft. They will be used to strengthen air defense and not for riskier ground attacks near the front line, at least initially, the Armed Forces’ commander-in-chief said.

Meanwhile, Britain has authorized the use of British weapons, including Challenger 2 tanks, for the offensive in the Kursk region, except for long-range Storm Shadow missiles.

As of Wednesday evening, the Armed Forces of Ukraine expanded the combat zone in the Kursk Region. The Ukrainian military operation also provoked a collapse of transportation on Russian railways in the regions bordering Ukraine and Belarus. This results from a large-scale transfer of troops to the Kursk region.
