Any idea of the model? I'm affraid it is T-54/55 based, so probably it is old good BTS-type ARV (can't tell exact type under all this anti-FPV grids, may be JVBT). As for me, it is much better vehicle for recovery then T-72-based BREM -motre dsimple ans light-weight, with reliable rear "plow". Yes low weight is disadvantege while towing heavy modern MBTs....

Roman Alymov Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 A Russian Commander Sent His Best Drone Operator To Die As Infantry (forbes.com) An Allegedly Corrupt Russian Commander Sent His Best Drone Operator To Die As An Infantryman Dmitry Lysakovsky reportedly died in an infantry assault after his commander disbanded his drone team. There are mistakes in the article: 1) Dmitry "Goodwin" Lysakovsky (whom i happened to know personally - his team was using some of our workshop products) was not alone - entire team was sent to take part in infantry assault ( including one man in LtCol rank), at least 6 died, one WIA and evacuated. It was quite possible for them not to follow this order (they were well-connected people), but they decided to go and attract public attention to the situation 2) Drone-for-drone attacks do not require some superb special skills from FPV pilot, but they do require some organisation measures, mostly in the field of signals intelligence and keeping FPV teams away from frontline on duty ready to intercept detected "wing" drone Also, the author have failed to notice the scandal created by this events - resulting in extraordinary statement from Minister of Defence Belousov himself ordering his deputies to investigate the situation.

Stuart Galbraith Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Yes, this was on a podcasts the other day, I meant to bring it up. Supposedly it wasnt just one guy, it was at least 8 to 12 of them which was sent. The command didnt dig the things they were saying, such as young people shouldnt sign contracts to join the war. So they disbanded the unit, and sent the troublemakers to the infantry where the Ukrainians could then dispose of them. From what I hear, the commander was only wounded. But when they requested someone to go in and evacuate him, nobody was sent so he bled out. These were some of the best Drone operators in the Russian Army, but they would prefer to have them dead, rather than actually express political opinions. Something I find absolutely completely not surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Galbraith Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Speaking of stuff I heard in the podcasts, there seems to be something of a tactical envelopment underway in Kursk. Russians attacked the Ukrainian left flank, a Ukrainian counteroffensive came over the border and seems to have part enveloped them, with many bridges also being taken out with ATACMS. Hearing this from several different sources, so there is seemingly something in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something I find absolutely completely not surprising. More complex than that: it is actually former "1st Slayansk Brigade" of DNR militia ("Strelkov's brigade") now formally converted into regular Russian Army unit but still not integrated completely, causing lots of room for "manuvers" by the command (who, after years of "Minsk agreements" got nothing to do with original ideologically motivated volunteers who fought under Strelkov's leadership, but are more focused on personal survival/benefit). Regiment command are locals, while "drone team" were all from different places of "mainland Russia", creating the tensions of "For whom the bell tolls" style. Also, drone team was unofficial - officially this people were regular riflemen or snipers, so technically it was nothing illegal for regimental commander to use them as infantry. But they were sort of famous media faces (at least in pro-Russian circles) so theit appeal (especially with their death in combat after that) created the situation when even Kremlin spokesman Peskov now commented on that. Next to every media figure in pro-Rus TG have commented on this situation. Alexander Liubimov of KTsPN have even demanding the brigade disbanded.

What is the sence of comparing pro-Ukrainians after 2+ years in prison (since there are about 6500 POWs in Russia and "first in-first out" approach is used by Russian side) with fresh POWs captured during "Kursk offencive" (where, as pro-Ukrainians themselves say, capturing prisoners for exchange was one of priority tasks)? By the way one of the reasons pro-Russians on grass roots level are sort of reluctant to take new POWs is they know prisons are allready full of pro-Ukrainians whom Ukr Gov is not especially interested in (except Azov members and other "media value" figures like this).

One can be given a warm place to sleep and enough food for 2 years as well. Either the Ukrainians are trying to capture prisoners for exchange or they are 'not especially interested'. And what business of frontline soldiers is whether Ukraine is interested in exchanges or not? That's not their department, if you capture the POWs some other people come and take them to POW camps, where they might get exchanged. Or not. It's generally better to take POWs than not.

ink Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 While I agree (how could I not?) that Russian POW conditions are hellish - it might be worth pointing out that there have also been cases (allegedly anyway) of Ukrainian POWs refusing food or going on hunger strike for various reasons. Even Ukrainian civilians taken into detention while being processed for whatever purpose sometimes refuse food. The young guy I mentioned in an earlier post told me he didn't eat for nearly two weeks while he was being processed by the FSB (in his words, partly because the food on offer was that bad, but also partly because "fuck them").
