Russian Troops Don't Understand Force Dispersal

Russian troops who are transporting a casualty become the target of a drone dropped munition. For some reason they're walking in a near perfect conga-line with less than one-arm's distance between each other.


It's recently come to my attention that Russian troops don't understand the fundamental tactic of force dispersal. This isn't something that is done only while you're actively in combat, but the Russians we've seen apparently view everything outside of an active firefight as an administrative movement. Unfortunately for these young Russian men, who were clearly failed by their own infantry instructors, "combat intervals" is something you should be practicing the entire time you're in a combat environment, not just while you're actively engaged by the enemy.


I don't know how this basic skill was lost on Russian forces when even the most poorly trained Iraqi Police Officer seemed to have a strong understanding of it. It's actually common sense. If ten troops line up at one arm's distance from one another and walk in enfilade, they are a much better target of opportunity than those same ten troops spread out over a one hundred meter line.


While some amnesty can be handed to the Russians at the front of this column who are carrying a wounded Soldier on a litter, the rest of the movement has no excuse. Even if they're carrying heavy crew served weapons, basic force dispersal should still apply.


This is a level of incompetence we haven't seen in combat footage since the earliest days of the Syrian Civil War.
