I saw some drone footage recently where it looked like the Ukrainian forces were actually using the drone to guide their artillery targeting. It was following a group of Russian soldiers, and the artillery was hitting closer and closer. From what I remember, at least two Russians were trying to help a wounded comrade, and two others were walking ahead. The Ukrainians aimed ahead of the former group and got the timing just right to where it was pretty much a direct hit, sending a torso (possibly of the already wounded Russian) flying over the heads of the two Russians in front. Those two eventually made their way to some makeshift bunker or hiding hole, which also took a direct hit from the artillery. I'm pretty sure none of the Russians survived.
To be honest, while of course I don't know how many of the dead Russians didn't want to fight and how many of them took sick pleasure in killing (and possibly torturing) Ukrainians, watching that just made me sad about the whole situation over there (well, sad yet again)
I always knew Putin was a narcissist and he was never someone I idolized (unlike some other Americans, who STILL think he's some kind of hero that's fighting against liberalism and trying to protect Christianity and traditional values) but for some reason I always thought he was a little more clever than this. But, from what I've heard, it sounds like he also built himself an echo chamber, where there's no room for anyone to have an opposing opinion on the wisdom (or lack thereof) of invading Ukraine. Basically, all he wanted to hear was Da!, so all he was told was Da!, and that's how you get +100K dead Russians.
