(NSFW) Russian POV: Wagner Troops Take Control of Bakhmut Garment Factory
Published 1 years ago
Several perspectives of a recent Wagner attack on a Garment Factory in Bakhmut shows the Russian perspective of a successful attack on a key building located inside of the city.
We don't often get compelling video footage out of the Russian perspective in this conflict. This video follows a group of Wagner Mercenaries as they conduct an attack on a key building inside of Bakhmut. According to the reports, they successfully took control of the building and it, surprisingly, didn't turn out to be rigged to explode.
Regardless of the success of this assault however, there's a lot of things happening here that indicate a lack of training for the Russian troops. For example, at around five and a half minutes into the video, while the Russian is securing a weapon from a downed fighter, he yanks a loaded RPK from underneath of the body with the barrel directly aimed at his own stomach. We then can clearly see that the weapon is still place on fire. It doesn't take a firearms expert to know that this is a very good way to shoot yourself in the stomach since there's about 80 things the trigger could have snagged on while he was yanking it.
