I can hear my Sargent now..."Don't bunch up, keep your intervals!"....
They say that for a reason and the video makes it clear, the Russians have no real NCOs. I would imagine they will collect up a hundred or so such clips and roll them into a training video that the sergeants can show to drive home the fucking point! They might not waste a precision round, a missile, or a suicide drone on one guy, but a dozen will be worth it for sure. A dozen snuggled up together in a trench is a tempting target for a bomber drone to drop a grenade or mortar round on too. This is what tactical drone air superiority looks like, it is too dangerous for planes and choppers with manpads and modern AA systems. There is no cover and nowhere to hide, the leaves on the tree might give the Russians a bit of cover during the day, but not with infrared at night.

Much rides on the upcoming Ukranian counter-offensive,Ukraine has been excellent at operational security and surprised Russia in the Kharkiv region last fall,hopefully they can drive down to the Sea of Azov and split the Russian forces in two which will heavily jeopardize Crimea,this is Ukraines best (and maybe last) chance to really influence this conflict in their favor,destroy any remaining Russian morale,and infuse Western supporters to stay the course.

Russia says two of its commanders have been killed in eastern Ukraine
Moscow’s Ministry of Defense said on Sunday that two top Russian commanders have been killed in eastern Ukraine.
Russian state news agency TASS reported Sunday that commanders Colonel Vyacheslav Makarov and Colonel Yevgeny Brovko were killed during fighting in Donetsk, a region in eastern Ukraine. Ministry Spokesman Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov said in a statement Sunday that Makarov was “seriously wounded” and died when evacuating the battle, according to TASS.

“Commander of the 4th motorized rifle brigade, Colonel Vyacheslav Makarov, personally led the battle while on the front line. Two enemy attacks were repelled, and the soldiers of the brigade destroyed three tanks, four infantry fighting vehicles, and two armored vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” Konashenkov said.

“During the battle to repel one of the attacks, Colonel Yevgeny Brovko heroically died after receiving multiple shrapnel wounds,” Konashenkov added.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that Ukraine will not attack Russian territory in a planned counteroffensive this spring, instead saying that it aims to free occupied territory in his country. Speaking alongside German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Zelensky responded to speculation that Ukraine may target Russian territory.

“We don’t attack Russian territory, we liberate our own legitimate territory,” Zelensky told reporters. “We have neither the time nor the strength (to attack Russia).”
