In the most recent Osprey book, called " Tanks in Ukraine 2022" there is this map, picrel.
I personally don't especially remember VDV units being used at the South front. Does anybody know more?

I also don't agree with this author's statement:
>"While armour played a very limited role in various NATO out-of-area operations in the Middle East and Africa, the closest thing to real tank-on-tank actions involving European forces took place in the context of the 1990–91 Iraq War."
i think that engagements like the Battle of 73 Easting were full on tank battles, not just "the closest thing to real tank-on-tank actions".
