Russian troops at the Pokrovsk direction send their infantry into attacks almost without any hope of returning, using drones as 'observers', reported press officer Maxim Bakulin from the 'Red Kalina' brigade of the National Guard. Even adverse weather conditions do not stop the Russians in their assault activities, although they lose many drones.
'Without the support of drones they cannot do anything, because the quality of their infantry is currently quite low. In fact, they are sent on one-way missions. It is often possible to hear interceptions - 'I am wounded'. Don't tell me that, go forward!', - added Bakulin.
Drones play an important role in Russian tactics
The Russian tactic of using drones includes not only fire support but also control over their own infantry. The command checks the condition of the soldiers using drones, as trust in the military is low. Reports of injuries may not be taken into account, and the soldier will still be sent into an attack.
'A soldier who says he is wounded is sent forward anyway. They specifically drop supplies to them from a distance using drones. To see how they reach them, in what condition. Because they do not trust words', - explained Bakulin.
This approach indicates serious issues with trust and the treatment of their own military in the Russian army.
In the conflict zone in Ukraine, Russian troops use infantry and drones accompanied by unmanned aerial vehicles, sending soldiers into attacks almost without any chance of return. The military command does not even trust its own troops, using drones for monitoring and checking their condition, indicating serious problems in the Russian army.
