Where did you see that?

You can see the old Ukrainian paint job

That makes more sense, thanks, so it's not a Ukrainian vehicle now (which is the impression blu gave), but was originally a Ukrainian vehicle before capture and modification.

Not sure at what point modification was done, maybe if someone went through the oryx list they could find out. Putting these pods have been done by both sides however.

Yes, I know. The Ukes have been putting them on pickups and small boats for most of the war.

Tbh I think Bakhmut is being used they way they want it to. Sapping Russian manpower/ supplies and hardware. The more they fling in there, the less stockpile they will have when the offensive comes
I think the battle in Bakhmut has changed. It is no longer the "easy" attrition it was. A month ago, yes, but today, the way the front has changed it has become more tenuous for Ukraine and they are losing soldiers, while Russia loses prisoners.

I think he lost his rifle and is probably using that stick as a crutch. The other guy still has his rifle.

Probably because there is a longer video where he is limping and using the stick. The fact that he lost his rifle is telling though, its like one of your first training lessons. Looking after and maintaining your weapon on the battlefield.

Yeah, for me that was more telling. The fact that he has no rifle. The cause and effect of hiring prisoners and conscripts.
