Russian Recon Group Staging 'Flag Selfie" In Zaporizhzhia Oblast Wiped Out

The Russian military is not a learning organization lesson #1 billion: Unable to actually capture and occupy Ukrainian territory in most sectors of the front, Russian commanders have resorted to sending small teams into villages or housing clusters to take selfies of themselves raising the Russian flag and then claiming a gain. 

But the tactic has become suicidal as Ukrainian drone teams monitoring the front detect them almost immediately and the eliminate them. JL

Stanislav Pohorilov reports in Ukraine Pravda:

Ukrainian forces from the 33rd Assault Regiment wiped out a Russian sabotage and reconnaissance group in a Zaporizhzhia oblast village where they were attempting to stage a 'flag selfie." "The enemy, as always, colours in its maps and then, in a bid to catch up with its 'gains', sends in a sabotage and reconnaissance group to put up their  flag. The outcome of such 'photoshoots' is always the same: the enemy group is wiped out and the Ukrainian flag flies over Prydorozhnie."
