Meaty infantry assault actions!

This is what is happening in the Pokrovsky direction in the area of responsibility of the 47th separate mechanized brigade . Armored vehicles are protected by the Russian command, instead, they throw the Russians to the slaughter.

Strike Drone Company's Unmanned Systems Battalion repulses occupier attacks with FPV. In this way, drone operators prevent the accumulation of Russians.

You know what makes it even sadder? While propaganda does play a huge part of it, from all that we can gather information-wise, a vast majority is motivated by abject poverty and lack of perspectives in life instead of jingoist enthusiasm.

They have been beaten down and dehumanised by the system first, given a bleak and cynical outlook on life and themselves - and then basically been offered money for suicidal operations, most likely benefitting their relatives unless they manage to "win the lottery" and come back home alive.

There's a very real risk this will become the future of recruitment in Western nations as well, so we really should not turn off our empathy, even though I will never understand how they can charge forward into pants-shitting terror like this, instead of either surrendering or downright fragging their commanders in open mutiny.
