Indeed. Especially showing the use of consumer drones to spot for mortar and artillery.
I am also very surprised about the open admission that Russian senior commanders are being located and targeted through their use of insecure comms, including civilian mobile phones. Surely you would want to keep that secret so you can continue to hit them ? It reminds me of the (apocryphal?) story from the Falklands that the press reporting of many unexploded bombs, caused the Argentinians to review their fusing technique and fix the problem.
Both seem so odd to me, that I wonder if it's mostly false but designed to create fear and confusion among the invaders. eg extreme reluctance by a commander to make a call renders him useless?
