495-97🇷🇺70 Motor Rifle Regt losses at Robotyne/Novoprokopivka.
A mobik accused of desertion for returning to Ru for medical treatment and for retreating on the P'yatykhatky front. Those who had retreated were sent to the 70th as punishment.
His group was told to reach a tree line and hold a position there for 3 days. They saw men in a dugout. Not knowing who held it 3 of his group started a firefight with what turned out to be Russians. At that moment a group of UAF advanced unnoticed to the left along the tree line and captured them. The friendly fire incident occurred because their commander told them that nobody was there but no one was sure.

RT @KofmanMichael: Over the summer Ukraine may have had a 2:1 advantage in tube artillery fires. When we were there last, shell hunger was visible across the front with Russian fires advantage growing. US military assistance (which must be funded) is essential in providing artillery ammo.

"During the peak period of the counter-offensive and even just a few months ago, the ratio between Russian and our artillery fire was largely 1:1 or bigger in our advantage. Now, we fire one round for every four or five rounds that Russia fires."

@HighMarsed @verekerrichard1: And among those, a small part might be degrading BRM-1Ks or older BRM-1s. They would look the same top-down. Still the recce and command parts can be stripped out and they can be converted back to carry full squads. This is what UAF did with some their post-Soviet stock pre-2018.

496-97🇷🇺70 Motor Rifle Regt losses at Robotyne/Novoprokopivka.
Volunteered on 02/11 and sent to the 70th after only 4 days of training. He is diagnosed with obesity.
When reaching a position they came under fire. Two were KIA + 1 WIA. When he heard someone shouting: “Surrender! No one will hurt you”, he surrendered and called the others to join him.
They had been told that if they surrendered they will be tortured by UAF, but this did not happen.

People matters most.

RT @Hajun_BY: Belarusian Hajun received confirmation of the rotation of the Russian military at Mazyr airfield. We wrote about the possible rotation on December 11.
On December 14, An-12 military transport aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces flew from Homiel airport to Russia. The aircraft arrived on December 9 and has been at the airport all this time. According to our information, it brought and took away the Russian military.
It’s usual practice to rotate military contingents outside their home country. However, we should stress that the Russian military at Mazyr (Bokau) airfield don’t have any legal status (as a military base, combat training center, etc.). Officials haven’t publicly commented on this topic.
The total number of the Russian military who may be stationed at the airfield is up to 300 people. We may assume that the rotation affected about ⅓ of the contingent (more than 80 people).
