He then says that when a unit of 20 men attack a Ukrainian position only “two or three come back.”

None come back, because Russian commanders are starting to execute soldiers that retreat.

He says: "Yesterday Sam flew the plane and said that just 8 people were sitting in the trench, just 8 khohols [Ukrainains], f*ck! And our men go there by the hundreds, and they are not even capable of taking a f**king thing!"

"Snipers and machine gunners are sitting there, and that's it! There is absolutely no one else there!

8 vs. hundreds, no wonder Russia thinks they can take the village. I would have too.

Unfortunately, it looks like the tactic of going in one by one like a row of ducks through a minefield, is a pretty dumb tactic as far as military blunders go.
