The Russians have a new EW system for individual protection - the bucket.

It was the bucket that one of the Katsaps put on his head when the Ronin launched your drone at them🔪 It didn't help.

UPD: they write that it is not a bucket. And part of the washing machine😂

Entire Russian units have been wiped out by their own side for trying to surrender. Defecting is an incredibly risky move.

Right? It seems very easy to put the blame on all individual Russian soldiers, it's not as if they have much choice. Of course, there's a whole bunch of them acting like assholes in their role, but I'm sure there's a whole bunch more of them who don't particularly want to be there but are forced to.

3k per month salary in a country where 600 is considered a decent wage does seem to do a lot of forcing tho

Better to die than to kill wrongly. But I have seen lots of videos of Russians successfully surrendering, so it's definitely an option.

Bold words from someone who’s never been faced with that choice.

I agree it'd be hard. But it'd still be the right thing to do to avoid murdering people. I don't see how I need to have been in that situation to say that moral statement. I hope I'd be able to follow though.
