    that’s because Kursk isn’t heavily fortified hilly and forest area like the Donbas that has been entrenched, mined and trapped for a decade. Russia’s gains here are extremely notable since this is basically the hardest type of territory to take, and they’re doing it while winning in attrition as well.

    Kursk raid has been into empty flat fields with no entrenchments. Easy come and easy go.
