BREAKING: A #Russia|n special force unit (СРС - Special Radio Communication Service) was seen and filmed in #Ukraine, check @lennutrajektoor

The goal of GRU RUS SOF opers are establishing secure radio comm w GRU GS for relaying & receiving C3I.

Video link---video was from 12 August and on the road that the "aid" convoy was to go down.

Appears that these Russian SF photos were part of a larger upload over the last few days concerning the UA's bold attack on Krasnyi Luch which while successful came with loses. Interesting is that the Russian released a sitmap indicating the fight but only depicting the UA was surrounded in KL almost at the same time as the photos and videos were being posted.

Appears that the Russians launched a Russian SF strike across the border to cut off the UA advance thus the series of uploads---photos and videos.

What is interesting is the GRU/SF (load bearing equipment, radios, sniper weapons (2) and the use of the BTR 82s has primary weapons carrier) equipment, the use of the BTR-82 A1s and the use of the white arm and leg bands was used exactly like the Russian SF used them in the Crimea---meaning unmarked uniformed military running around in the Crimea with white arm bands.

This type of information coupled with the SBU's capture of a GRU/SF lightweight secure sitcom system hurts as it is usually something one does not want known as it goes to TTPs and methods.

Again poor Russian social media opsec by one of their so called elite units.

Second confirmed Russian military cross over into the Ukraine combined with their own produced sitmap which depicted the encirclement.
