Russian soldiers use e-scooters; face drone attack

thesun.co.uk

Russian soldiers were seen riding e-scooters into battle in Ukraine. The unusual moment was captured on video by a Ukrainian drone. Three soldiers struggled to navigate a muddy field, dragging their scooters along as they tried to reach safety. The soldiers were quickly targeted by the same drones that recorded the incident. Reports suggest that the e-scooters used were made in China. This tactic seems to be part of a broader strategy as Russian troops use various vehicles, including motorcycles and quad bikes, to move across the front line. Ukrainian military officials noted that using smaller vehicles makes it harder to hit groups of soldiers. They pointed out that hitting a small number of soldiers on e-scooters is much more challenging than targeting a larger group in one vehicle. As the conflict continues, Russian forces have resorted to using donkeys and horses for transporting ammunition. This change comes despite significant spending on military equipment. Videos of soldiers riding donkeys have also surfaced, highlighting the desperate measures taken by Russian troops. In addition, there have been reports of unconventional military vehicles, including a Soviet-era tank modified with unusual features. This vehicle has attracted attention for its bizarre appearance while being used in the conflict.
