It doesn’t stop Russian command from just yeeting out 5 or 6 BTRs at a time.

Ethnic minorities are disposable. There's a reason why they even have two separate words for "Russian": one for ethnic Russians and one for everyone else.

And that is what confuses me. At least Wagner had the decency to send their prisoner conscripts as targets to locate artillery positions. They were "disposable", but they had a function.

Here? Nada. No function. They point to a group of men and tell them to go clear a minefield the manual way. So, they do what they have to do and try and get a chance against the mines but they soon realize that armor doesn't work very well if you are sitting on it.

Fuckin' insanity.

This is how they have operated for centuries. They literally don't know how to do tactics in any other way than "throw meat at it"
