The Russians have started using their military, who refuse to fulfill their tasks, as bait for drones.

A video of one of these soldiers was posted on the Supernova+ Telegram channel.

In the video, he is tied up, with a wire tied to a tree around his neck. Several other Russian soldiers interviewed him.

A soldier who refuses to perform assigned tasks is Tretiakov Ivan Aleksandrovich, born on 29.05.2002, call sign Maloy, a native of Kamensk-Uralsky in the Sverdlovsk region of Russia.

He said that his fellow soldier offered him to commit self-mutilation to avoid storming Ukrainian positions.

“When we were sitting at the point, I was afraid to go under the drone with ammunition, ran back, rolled away, that is, I ran away. When I was sitting [in the shelter], Zhan said to me: “Let me wound you so you won’t go on the assault,” Ivan Tretyakov claimed.

According to him, he refused to do so, but when another Russian soldier wanted to wound himself, he accidentally hit him.

The soldiers who were interviewing him interrupted the conversation with the words: “Oh, he’s flying, they’ll congratulate him now,” and Ivan Tretiakov started looking up.

“I can tell you right away that if a drone flies here, it will immediately drop ammunition,” the unidentified fighter said in the video.

After that, the recording stopped. But as can be seen from the footage, they were fully aware that Ukrainian drones would reach them but did not take any action to free their prisoner and protect him from being hit by a drone.

The actions to restrict Ivan Tretiakov’s freedom in the affected area were deliberate and intentional.

In the Kursk region, the Ukrainian SOF found a notebook on the body of a killed DPRK soldier with instructions on how to shoot down enemy drones and hide from artillery strikes.

North Korean private Gyong Hong Jong, killed in early December in the Kursk region, wrote in his notebook the tactics of intercepting an FPV copter with the help of a fellow soldier who would act as live bait.

Ivan Tretyakov’s role was similar but without the ability to escape from the drone.
