i distinctly remember articles about scrappy Ukrainians using civilian phones for things as essential as artillery targeting

I was gonna say wasn't this exact same story coming out about the Ukranian military earlier in the war? About how it was getting them exploded before they were supposed to stop using personal phones? Oh but now it's the genius tactics of the Ukranians to exploit the stupidity of the RuZZians, I see I see.

Yeah, I believe it was about some Howitzers that were delivered without targeting systems because NATO were worried they'd get captured by the Russians, so the Ukrainian fire teams had to manually calculate trajectories on their phones.

I'm also reminded of what might be the dumbest thing to ever happen in any modern conflict, when a Ukrainian training camp for foreign volunteers got blown the fuck up because one of said volunteers literally posted the camps position on reddit-logo
