their soldiers sleep, report saysAn elite Ukrainian drone unit is destroying the weaponry of the invading Russian forces as their soldiers' sleep, The Times of London reported.
Aerorozvidka, a specialist air reconnaissance unit within the army, says it has destroyed dozens of "priority targets" including Russian tanks, command trucks, and other vehicles in nighttime raids, the paper reported.
Russian forces stop moving during the night and typically hide their tanks in between houses in villages where conventional artillery cannot strike them, Yaroslav Honchar, the unit commander based in Kyiv, told the paper.
But the elite drone unit, which has dozens of squads of expert drone pilots, has these stationary vehicles in its cross-hairs.

locations like theaters and schools stuffed with evacuees? Those are being deliberately targeted by Putins minions. The so-called humanitarian corridors are also being deliberately targeted.
If your concern is for the misled Russian troops, figure out a way to lead them back where they belong.

(146,192 posts)I'm right, right? Surely you aren't shedding tears for the Russian military, right?

I'm tired of crying for them all.
War is hell.

(146,192 posts)They are killing Ukrainian civilians. That you don't appear to recognize that is alarming, at the very least.
They are part of an invading military force that has no respect for innocent civilian lives at all.
I'm sorry, but you are missing a very large part of what is going on, apparently, or are confused about the priorities of the Russian military.
Please stop doing that. Thank you.

(7,698 posts)Please stop saying I have sympathy for the Russian military.
I've already made that clear. But I will repeat:
I do not have any sympathy for the the Russian military.
Also:
War is Hell.

(383 posts)It doesn't look like Russian tactics have changed much since the days of the USSR which means most of their units were not taught to operate with a lot of freedom. It's pretty easy to figure out which vehicles are the command units. If you hit them you are really killing the effectiveness of the entire company without having to blow up every vehicle.
Its shocking they never advanced their operational theory in the last 30 years but it really looks like they planned for large scale armour manuevers against a smaller but similar armoured force instead of what the Ukrainians are doing which are hit and run tactics.
