Russian forces had a large friendly fire incident yesterday after rumours of a Ukrainian breakthrough toward the Kursk-Lgov supply route. Units were being reported to have fired on anything that crossed their path to only find out later it was friendly fire.

  1. This is why sourcing your military intelligence solely through social media is a bad idea… You would have thought the Russians would have learned this by now but….

  2. So how hard would it be to get them to fight themselves or ghosts, by spreading false radio communications. Especially with how many are getting captured, Im sure quite a few compromised radios would be available.

  3. Speculation that conscripts, with little to no training, are mainly providing for the defense of Kursk must be fairly accurate.

  4. Is there any direct source or evidence? Somebody on twitter saying Russia had a friendly fire accident would be more believable if there was some sort of video or other first rate evidence. Just saying the enemy had a friendly fire accident means literally nothing without evidence.

    Especially when the source stating such claims is biased.

  5. Makes me wonder, obviously Russian loss statistics are educated guesses half the time due to difficulties confirming kills and all that, however overall friendly fire, especially that not reported, could shift those numbers into being pretty much it

  6. We’ll only here about this after long after the war, but Russian radio encryption, where it exists, is apparently weak. It is possible the Ukranians encouraged confusion that helped this occur. In 25 years we will know.
