Ukraine: Russian armoured vehicle destroyed by drone<\/h3>\n

Russian troops have been targeted by Ukrainian drones while using the bathroom outside their positions on the front line of Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine.<\/p>\n

But this has been a long-used tactic by Ukraine, which has struck Russian soldiers squatting over holes with their pants around their ankles for nearly two years now.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian operators have regularly posted recordings of their drones\u2019 live video feeds showing the strikes.<\/p>\n

While Ukrainian troops have also been attacked while using the bathroom, Ukraine\u2019s ambushes on Russian troops is noteworthy and a consistent pattern.<\/p>\n

Daily life on the front-line dugout has taken on greater importance as winter sets in and the ground in Ukraine turns muddy and cold.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But Ukrainian troops have an advantage on the poorly-trained Russian draftees who make up a growing proportion of the Kremlin\u2019s forces in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Mark Hertling, a retired US Army general, said in a post on X: \u201cWhile weather and the terrain treat both sides equally\u2026disciplined soldiers fare better.\u201d<\/p>\n

A recent video from battle ground near Avidiivka in eastern Ukraine shows a Russian soldier sheltering beside a destroyed armored vehicle to defecate, drawing the attention of a Ukrainian drone that blows him up.<\/p>\n

Other videos show similar incidents occurring.<\/p>\n

In these situations, the Russian soldiers violated a basic rule of fieldcraft on the battlefield, in which enemy surveillance – and aerial firepower – is everywhere.<\/p>\n

The US Army said in its field manual for snipers: \u201cAll latrine calls should be done during darkness, if possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Concealment is vital for survival, and using the bathroom outside of a hidden position is a profound risk.<\/p>\n

Young and poorly-trained Russian soldiers may not know this, and Ukrainian soldiers are using it to their advantage.<\/p>\n
