GoPro - Ukrainian Clears Russian Dugouts with Grenades
Published 1 years ago
GoPro footage released by a Ukrainian Soldier with the 2nd Assault Battalion of the 3rd Assault Brigade shows yet another mop-up operation being carried out against formerly Russian fighting positions.
Over the past week or so I have personally noticed a large up-tick in the amount of mop-up operations being released, specifically by members of the 3rd Assault Brigade. At least one or twice per day we are shown footage of Ukrainian Soldiers clearing through the remains of decimated Russian fighting positions.
These videos are never really pressed as mop-up operations, but they're marked by a few key indicators. First, there's generally a lack of incoming fire on the Ukrainian troops as they move between Russian fighting positions. Second, there's always both incoming and out-going artillery present for the duration of the footage. Last, these videos are generally marked by Ukrainian troops almost lackadaisically walking up to Russian fighting positions and dropping grenades inside of them to ensure that any Russian troops that are still hiding in them are no longer a threat.
We've also seen a dramatic up-tick in the number of videos showing Ukrainians taking Russians prisoner just prior to these operations being carried out.
