On Saturday, March 1, the Russian reconnaissance drone "Orlan" flew 120 km from the front line in eastern Ukraine and hangs above Cherkasy in the Dnipropetrovsk region, where the training base of the 168th Reserve Battalion of the Armed Forces is located. On that day, the battalion was reported to receive troops translated from the recently organized 157th mechanized brigade. Forbes writes about it.
On the signal of the drone, the Iskander ballistic missile flew to the target, one of the approximately 20 Russian ballistic missiles that fired at Ukraine last week. The commanders of the bases were usually "indifferent" to the vulnerability of recruits, told one of the soldiers to military correspondent Yuri Butusov, who spent some time in Cherkasy. Butusov said 32 soldiers were killed and another 100 were injured when the training grounds of the 168th reserve battalion were attacked.
A check with the participation of military counterintelligence is conducted to find out all the details of what happened, and the guilty could not be "bored".

"The war requires quick decisions, responsibilities and new security standards, otherwise we are losing more than <. . . > is currently investigating the circumstances of the tragedy," Major General explained.
He promised to follow every step of the way and "fashion" to find out all the circumstances of what happened. He also warned of the responsibility of "everyone who made the decision that day <. . . > and who did not make them on time. " "No one is hidden by explanations or formal reports," he summarized, adding that "the truth will try to hide in the fog of the bureaucracy. But I will not allow it. " It is critical, notes forbes that there was no masking grid.
No earth buildings to hide troops, they were outdoors in broad daylight. There was no air defense remedy here to knock down Russian drones. The author of the publication, David ex, noted the difference in the reaction of Ukrainian and Russian officials to strikes in Russian landfills and less frequent strikes in Ukrainian. As an example, he cited an event on November 21, when about ten Russian soldiers left civilian vans in Zaporizhzhya region in the Russian -occupied part of southern Ukraine.
The Ukrainian drone tracked what is happening. Himars, located 91 km on the opposite side of the front line, released one M30/31 rocket. The rocket struck a few meters from the Russian recruits, shining them and their vehicles with deadly fragments. The drone calculated at least five killed or seriously injured soldiers. It was the eighth attack on Russian recruits in nine months. "As far as we know, none of the nine attacks caused the intervention of the commander of the Russian Land Forces.
