A group of Russian servicemen recorded this video before being sent by Putin into a meat assault in Klischiivka, Bakhmut direction.

The men, counting 10 members plus 5 in support, were told to occupy a residential area in Klischiivka, where Ukrainian superiority was tenfold, in addition to firepower from Leopard tanks.

They added that in Klischiivka, Russians already lost 1000-1200 soldiers senselessly. This was necessary to enable positive reports on the news about Russian counterattacks in the area.

Recorded on 19 September, the video was meant to be released to the public if "something went wrong" with the men. Their fate is not known.

Russian strategy...

Just keep throwing bodies and hope the enemy runs out of bullets or are eventually overwhelmed by constant attacks.

It's like "meat for the grinder". Everyone knows if you get sent there's almost no chance of surviving, because retreat isn't an option and the only chance of "winning" is a fluke of luck. Even then it's the following waves after the luck that might have a chance.

Retreat is an option, but an equally deadly one.

Not equally....

You ain't surviving going back thru Russia. Because any other troops that see you, are making you join them. Probably after taking any functional equipment you have and handing you a shovel.

Equally, because Russia employs Barrier troops that will shoot people that run away.
