The underlying question is why would Ukraine send battle damage assessment (BDA) reports to Russia?

Everyone enjoys their cellphone features and some love them to death.

A recent video of Russians showing their secret base camp in a live video...and suddenly it went sideways in a ring of fire.

I can state from personal experience, that you will not hear the round that gets you except for mortar rounds where you might hear it coming out of the tube.

The quest for social media likes is getting out of hand, trumping self-preservation among some of the knuckleheads posting this. Part of the problem is the incessant boredom while waiting for something to happen. NCOs need to be collecting phones from these people, but the grunts need something to fill the down time that’s not spent digging or being shelled. So laissez faire reigns until they deal with a near miss or take significant losses from enemy shelling.

The weirdest instance is the incident with the Russian drone operators whose social media posts betrayed their location. They, of all people, should have known better. SMH. Inside too many grizzled, dirt-encrusted grunts is a social media addicted teenage girl.
