From the front. Really for my fellow Army, USMC, and DOF brethren with small unit tactical experience. In this exciting episode of 21st century Russian infantry tactics, a BMP survives racing up to a Ukrainian position manned by two soldiers and attempts to drop off a fire team, probably six personnel, at point blank range. Three make it out of the vehicle and are immediately gunned down as the IFV takes off at high speed with rear doors open subject to incoming automatic rifle fire. Apparently no one considered employing the 30mm autocannon on the BMP (or there was no gunner on the vehicle or no ammo or it wasn't working). I would say Keystone Cops were it not such a bloody pathetic waste of infantrymen.
And as a bonus, one of these short clips that speaks volumes about the combat conditions in the Kursk counter attack. This is a short clip of UA infantrymen advancing within Russia. Ignore the title and the drunk citizen, but do note the conditions and level of resistance through which the advance is proceeding. To be sure there is difficult combat ongoing, but this is much more a battle of maneuver than the static trench warfare within Ukraine itself. Putin can not be pleased.
