21/ [This is a reference to commanders falsely claiming that a settlement has been captured, in order to make themselves look good. Russian soldiers complain that if a settlement has been 'taken on credit', they are denied fire support when attacking it, costing many lives.]

20/ "What a bureaucratic mess! You can lay down infantry in batches, but firing five shots, even taking into account the wear and tear on the barrels, is categorically impossible! That's how “taking settlements on credit” works."

19/ "They weren't sparing their ammunition. It was difficult to get close. We requested artillery support. But they told us that they had already reported to the top brass that the entire settlement had been taken under control. The artillery was not allowed to fire.

18/ "But it turns out that behind the concrete fence there is a small machine yard and a garage for a couple of trucks, and behind it there is another private house. Again, two stories high. The Ukrainians are holed up there too. They're shooting like crazy!

17/ "We only took the house when we brought in several grenade launchers. That's pretty much everything you need to know about our UAVs...
We destroyed the house with grenade launchers. We thought that would be the end of it.

16/ "We asked the drone operators to throw a kamikaze drone into the windows. But for some reason, the operators only hit the roof of the house. They were hitting the walls. For the enemy, it was nothing more than a concussion.

15/ "You say one thing to the commanders. They pass on something completely different. We needed to take the last house in the village. It was a two-story house with a high foundation. We tried to throw grenades at it, but our opponents just moved to the far rooms.

14/ "There was one case when our drone operators tried to work with us, the infantry. Radio communication with them is such that it's easier to shout at them. And we didn't talk to them directly. We talked through headquarters. It was like a game of “telephone”!

13/ "– You're talking about Ukrainian drones. Were there any drones on our side?
– Our drone is a rare phenomenon. And while the Banderite forces use them in conjunction with their infantry, ours fly on their own.

10/ "There are also drones that scatter anti-personnel mines throughout the forest. And the so-called “waiters.” A “waiter” will fly in, land somewhere in a secluded spot, and wait for its moment. As soon as the target appears, it jumps up.

9/ "There are different types and purposes—kamikaze drones engage in “free hunting,” flying literally in swarms, in different directions and along unpredictable trajectories. Bombers appear as soon as reconnaissance drones detect any movement.
