Details of the operation
- Detection: The footage shows the foreign mercenary moving along a tree line and noticing a Ukrainian drone.
- Attempt to take cover: Trying to escape the attack, the militant runs into a dugout. Moments later a hit is recorded, after which thick smoke begins to come from the shelter and the mercenary emerges outside.
- Finale: The next frames show the mercenary lying among bushes in the copse. A kamikaze drone flies toward him and carries out a precise strike, leading to the final elimination of the target.
Context of foreign mercenaries' participation
The involvement of citizens of African countries in combat on Russia’s side has become a systemic phenomenon. The Russian command uses members of the "African Corps" mainly as assault infantry in the hottest sectors of the front, particularly in the Donetsk direction.
"Donetsk miners," mercenaries of Putin’s army from the "African Corps," could have stayed home hunting squirrels instead of lying in a Ukrainian tree line with sour faces, the video’s authors ironically note online.
Editor's comment
The use of foreign mercenaries is an attempt by the Kremlin to compensate for heavy personnel losses without announcing a new wave of open mobilization inside Russia. However, as the objective control footage shows, the level of training and survival of such "volunteers" on the battlefield remains extremely low.
