The Ukrainian army has frequently launched provocations against Russia recently, not only confronting the Russian army on the **mut front, but also often crossing the border to sabotage. According to the official channel of the Kraken Battalion on Telegram, recently, the "Kraken" special forces under the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine quietly entered the Bryansk and Kursk regions of Russia and blew up two observation towers of the Russian army with anti-tank missiles.
* It shows that the missiles of the Ukrainian army accurately hit the target, and the observation tower and camera equipment were blown to pieces. This means that the defense capability of the Russian army on the border has been seriously weakened, which is very bad news for Russia.
Earlier, the "Russian Free Corps" had attacked Bryansk, causing the tragedy of 2 local civilians killed and 1 child injured.
This is the second time in half a month that Ukrainian soldiers have trespassed into Russian territory without authorization and attacked. The Kraken Battalion is a neo-Nazi organization within the Ukrainian army, which survived from the Azov Battalion that was annihilated by the Russian army in Mariupol, and later received the support of Ukraine**, which quickly rose to replace the Azov Battalion.
Both groups are made up of extremists, veterans and other marginalized people, many of whom are violent fanatics. Even the United States does not dare to compliment, how can these people with criminal records and prison sentences do anything good on the battlefield?
Before the war began, the army looted the belongings of people in eastern Ukraine, arrested many "pro-Russian" people, prevented refugees from fleeing the war zone after the war broke out, and shot at civilians, not to mention their brutal treatment of prisoners. They were originally rats that everyone spitned on, but now they are being touted by the Ukrainian authorities as "national heroes".
This is thanks to propaganda from the Ukrainian authorities, who describe the Kraken battalion as an invincible squad and say that they once repelled the Russian offensive in the Kharkiv direction. However, there is very little news about the Kraken Battalion's defeat of the Russian army, but there are often reports of being defeated by the Russian army. Last year, the Russian army used precision guidance ** to destroy the stronghold of the Kraken Battalion, causing 350 people, and the Kraken Battalion almost lost its combat effectiveness because of the Russian army's strike.
There are ** reports that this force initially had only 1,800 people, and later with the help of Zelensky, the number was greatly increased. During the fighting in the Donbas region earlier this year, the Kraken battalion once exchanged fire with the mercenaries of the Wagner Group, only to be defeated by the other side. Obviously, their strength is not as strong as the Ukrainian side said.
But it is such a force, but it can strike deep into Russian territory, is the Russian army really going to re-examine its own defense line.
Although such a blow does not hurt much, it exposes a lot of problems. The current situation is that extremist groups within the Ukrainian army, in addition to constantly infiltrating Russian territory to launch attacks, are also good at waging information warfare, infiltrating Russia, and inciting more internal opposition forces to cause sabotage. A few days ago, there were also saboteurs who set fire to a fighter near Vladivostok in the Far East.
While the Russian army is making every effort to strengthen its offensive, it cannot ignore the defense of its homeland, especially now that more and more cross-border attacks are taking place, and Russia may have been infiltrated to the ground. It's time for Putin to order a crackdown on these extremists, and if they can do it to their own compatriots, they will not be soft on the Russians.
