Biletsky, 3rd Army Corps commander: Russia's creeping infantry infiltration gave it serious gains a year ago. That tactic is now their default, and it has pushed their losses in manpower well above their recruitment. They have found no new tactic since. 1/

Biletsky: The kill zone is the belt where anyone caught outside shelter has an 80 to 90 percent chance of being hit. It runs at least 6km deep and 12 to 15km on some sectors. Reconnaissance drones and sensors find you, then FPV drones and heavy hexacopters strike. 2/

Biletsky: Russia is watching Ukraine's success and scaling up its own drone forces at tactical level, walking in our tracks. We hold the advantage because we are several steps ahead and far less centralised, and that is what makes innovation possible for us. 3/

Biletsky: The kill zone is never a hundred percent curtain. The infantryman still puts the final full stop in any battle or operation, and nothing can replace his courage. Our infantry has learned to survive inside the Russian kill zone and attack with minimal losses. 4X

Russia’s reliance on the same infiltration tactic while losses outpace recruitment points to a worsening manpower equation. You and @10_beth_ are easily two of my favorite follows.

Russia’s manpower equation is worsening if losses now exceed recruitment, especially with the same infiltration tactic becoming the default. You and @10_beth_ are easily two of my favorite follows.
