One wonders at the quality of such troops. Little more than bullet catchers at best.

Ukraine's working on the power grids before winter sets in and has all the nuclear reactors up and running.

Russian base hit, it seems a funny place to have AN-2's, if that was the runway to the right it appears to have been out of service for some time.

The killing of a Russian in a dugout by grenades. Beware although you do not see him, you hear his screams so posting quote only, viewers discretion

A drone fails to detonate so the Russian tosses it out a few feet and it detonates killing him...not the smartest of moves.

No it doesn't if you are properly equipped. In that case it gives you the upper hand over poorly equipped opponent.

There's no such thing as bad weather, there's only inadequate clothing.
