42Nd Russian Colonel Killed
Just announced he died in the ambush. Could any army be so unlucky to lose 42 in so so short a space of time? surely the Ukrainians are getting some pretty advanced intel. (from the US?)

Simply using a cell phone is now a givaway, a Russian soldier was zapped recently when he used his phone to boast of the destruction he had caused;
'Devices called cell-site simulators, which mimic a phone mast, are stationed inside drones and trucks and sent over the battlefield to pick up the signals of nearby phones.
The simulators trick the phones into measuring and reporting the strength and direction of the signal from several phone masts in the area.
By analysing these responses – whether the signal is stronger or weaker with different masts - it is possible to find out where the phones are likely to be and send in an artillery strike at that spot.
It is also possible that some systems can directly identify the phone's location when the simulators connect to them, for example by accessing the phone's internal GPS system.
Whichever method is employed - and the finer details are closely guarded military secrets - they all end with the enemy obtaining a reasonably accurate location of whoever is using the phone.'

hard to say who that propaganda might be coming from, though. It might be Putin trying to denounce traitors within (especially the man supposedly named to be after his job), the West warning that he's on borrowed time, or the military discussing their plot with the media. I would have thought the last of those the least likely.
this is the one you want, ZM (bettr go for the Kindle edition at those prices)

They do have NCOs but from what I have heard and read they are not encouraged to exercise initiative or think on their feet in the same way as say UK forces NCOs are.
