More video showing the results of a HIMARS strike that reportedly caused over 100 Russian casualties in the Zaporizhzhia region

I have had conversations with Russians, mainly on Reddit, that simply disregard these videos. Many times, they believe that videos are either staged or just copied Russian videos with the watermarks changed. More often than not, everything is seen as blatant propaganda and not true.

If troops do revolt, there are rumors of "re-education" camps that they are sent to or, they are promptly sent to the front lines to die in another meat wave attack.

Information is limited for the average foot soldier and what they know is what they are told over and over: Russia is the victim, they are the ones being attacked by Nazis and NATO and it is their duty to "protect" Russia. (Some Pro-Russian bloggers are simply using the word "Germans" to refer to Ukrainians now. Its important that Russians are framed as victims at all times.)

So, I am sure there are some efforts to resist but it's hard to organize a revolt when you are just going to die in a hail of artillery fire in a day or two.

The defeated battalion was located in the Zaporizhzhia direction of the front, in the area of the village of Ilchenkovo, and at the time of the attack was preparing for redeployment.
