Yes, Russia moved troops to Kursk in a massive meatwave exercise and therefore Ukraine were able to regain some other areas where Russia had removed troops.
Often these areas are just farmland and destroyed villages e.g. the headline might say 100sqkm but that is just 10km square which in a country the size of Ukraine is such a tiny blip, when you weigh up the thousands of soldiers that die to claim that land.
Both sides have thousands of drones, exploding soldiers and hardware. Morals aside, it seems like teenagers would be extremely skilled operators in that scenario, due to all their hours using Playstation and Xbox controllers. I can even imagine a future realtime-gamifield version wherein the details are filtered so the soldier/player sees a sanitised version of the hunt, rather than the true imagery.
