ISIS tactic to clear path through minefield inadvertently creates new obstacle for Russians - video
Russian forces continue to use an ISIS terrorist tactic of sending explosives-laden armored vehicles toward Ukrainian positions, as seen in a video posted by Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Butusov on Telegram on Jan. 4.
"Loaded with UR-77 and FAB charges, a Russian MT-LB kamikaze is trying to make a passage in the minefield near Novomykhailivka in the direction of Maryinka,” he wrote.
“The effect is rather dubious: the vehicle removes anti-tank mines and at the same time creates an anti-tank trench.”
Russian forces have also recently adopted tactics used by Hamas militants, using soldiers on motorcycles and hiding in special "cocoons" to attack Ukrainian positions, but this tactic did not yield the desired results either.
