76th Air Assault Division of the russian federation sends FPV operators to assault troops

The Atesh partisan movement reports that FPV drone operators in one of the units of the 76th Air Assault Division of the russian Armed Forces are being sent to assault troops. This information was provided by the movement’s agent.

“The UAV operators signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense of the russian federation for specific positions, but the division command decided that assault troops were more needed. Complaints to higher authorities have expectedly failed,” the Atesh stated.

The Atesh does not give details about the exact unit numbers to keep its agent safe. However, such incidents are reportedly not uncommon within the division and have already occurred in many units.

“We continue to gather information that will help the Defense Force of Ukraine deliver a crushing blow to the occupiers,” the statement reads.

Earlier Defense Express reported that russian Palantin EW systems were being moved near Ukraine.

  1. It’s never a good sign for a military – or, in this case, a gangster organization – to use skilled members for low-down meat assaults. That’s a bad use of valuable resources.
