The Kremlin is said to have tasked its army with pushing Ukrainian forces out of Russia's Kursk region in less than a month. But how doable is it, especially given Ukraine's next move in its incursion?

Back in May, Ukrainian developers revealed a new armed ground robot—the Fury. Four months later, a Fury has fought—and reportedly won—the type’s first major skirmish. On or just before Thursday, one of the four-wheeled, shopping-cart-sized Furies assaulted a trench in Russia’s Kursk Oblast.

Ukrainian troops have made advances in the Kursk region, according to reports following accounts that Moscow was starting to succeed in counterattacking Kyiv's push into Russian territory, as maps show the latest state of play.
