Under Fire, Out of Fuel, No Air Support: What Intercepted Russian Radio Chatter Reveals
The Times’s Visual Investigations team analyzed dozens of battlefield radio transmissions between Russian forces during an initial invasion of the town of Makariv, outside Kyiv. They reveal an army struggling with logistical problems and communication failures.

Thanks for sharing.
This video taken with all the rest of the evidence I have seen shows Russian barbarity and stupidity.
Glory to Ukraine!

Be careful drawing conclusions from what is a very, very, very small slice of tactical communications. Just because Buran and Sneg are having a bad day doesn’t mean the entire Russian army in Ukraine is near collapse.
I thought they were using those particular recordings as examples of how their chatter is both corroborating reports from the field and also revealing tactical plans.
I agree. It’s an example of many similar intercepts captured throughout the war. Many of their radios are cheap unencrypted consumer/ham gear from China.
