Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU) has reported that a naval drone has killed five elite Russian divers in the bay of Novorossiysk as they tried to raise it for examination.
Quote: “There is acute dissatisfaction among the personnel of the Russian fleet based in Novorossiysk over the senseless ‘meat-grinder’ orders from their command to retrieve the Ukrainian naval drone, which led to the elimination of the elite group.”
Maybe the next ‘elite group’ will learn from this and frag their commander instead of following suicidal orders.
With their attrition rate you really gotta wonder if the current qualifications for “elite” groups is anything like they were 3 years ago. They were content to throw waves of VDV troops at the same airfield over and over just for them to get shelled immediately after landing, and that’s how the war started

From their effectiveness I’d say VDV looked better in music videos than fought on the battlefield.
