UKR appears to have brought alot of armor to this one - they intend to pound the living shit out of hardened targets at close range. Not a good day to be a russian huddling in a bunker with no food, ammo, comms, or air support. These poor fucks can't even get a cold weather jacket anymore, according to russia.
What I'm reading indicates that Ukrainian intentions are to drive down the Dnipro river and isolate Kherson, and that yes, they're using plenty of armor to maintain momentum. It reads like classic blitzkrieg, flow tanks past strong-points and use infantry to reduce and capture the isolated and apparently panicked units.
If they can cut off Kherson, the Russian southern front is hors de combat.
