There have been a few captured tanks and artillery pieces shown, but we have a very limited glimpse.
Ukraine set this up with months of bombardment until Russian positions became untenable, and are now recapturing Kherson in an intact state, not a bombed out ruin.
Prioritizing Ukrainian lives but taking large chunks of territory has been the Ukrainian way with their offensives, and it has been effective. Expecting a NATO like broad offensive on the left bank was never a realistic possibility, and probably would have resulted in unsustainable Ukrainian losses if attempted. I trust the AFU general staff to continue prosecuting a successful offensive while keeping their soldiers alive.
