⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🔎 @Rybar about "The Deaths of Hundreds of Mobilised", "Elephant Radio" and Problems with "Troop Management"⚡️

🚨 A publication has appeared online about a mobilised man from #Voronezh who claims that his entire battalion was killed in one morning near #Makeevka in the LPR. The casualty figures increase as the story goes on: first the fighter's wife says "more than half of the battalion" died, then he himself reports 41 survivors out of 570, and later that "at least one battalion" had been completely defeated there earlier as well.

⁉️ How much of this can be true?

To begin with, the death of as many as five hundred men in defence in just one day in a single small area is an extraordinary event. And hundreds of corpses lying compactly after an artillery bombardment would have certainly fallen into the lenses of enemy fighters' and copters' cameras.

Surprisingly, no shocking footage has ever appeared on the net. And the AFU themselves, judging by their own internal reports, are clearly not aware of the sensational event.

⁉️ So where did the huge numbers from the story of a kind of eyewitness come from?

▪️ At the heart of such reports is often "elephant radio" - a hodgepodge of frontline rumours. This is where stories of Baltic snipers, an underground airfield in #Khmelnitsky and a Battalion of Poles near #Kupyansk come from. On the other side of the front it is the same - the ubiquitous "Chechen divisions" and the Chinese in Donbass.

▪️ A similar thing is happening with casualties, where with each new link in the "tainted telephone" the number of killed and wounded is becoming less and less like the real figure. As a result, the death of two men can, over time, be transformed into "half a company of boys have been killed".

▪️ Poor organization plays an important role in stories about the death of entire battalions per battle. Lack of communication may lead a soldier to genuinely believe that all neighbouring units have already been annihilated and all of them are dead.

Therefore a mobilized soldier who has come under fire for the first time in the chaos of command and control of his troops may in all seriousness speak of great losses. Even if he has not seen dozens of corpses personally. And the "elephant radio" adds more details and gradually increases the figures to hundreds of killed a day.

🩸 The most effective way to deal with such stories is to eliminate problems with the organisation. When the commander at least knows his location and has contact with headquarters, and his unit does not consist entirely of untrained mobilised men who are not afraid of being court-martialled for fleeing their positions.

Otherwise, the media space will be flooded with "eyewitness accounts" of divisions destroyed in one day. This will be readily exploited by Western and Ukrainian resources with foreign-agent publications to spread panic in the army and society.
