using the same vehicles and speaking the same language they’ll easily merge into the ongoing troop movements - until they strike.
One would have thought that this would work both ways, although the Ukes seem much better at securing their rears. Having motivated conscripts familiar with the local area and their inhabitants must help. The issue for Russia here is that they're throwing their locally recruited forces into the fray, not using them intelligently.
What's interesting is that the existence of Uke special forces and saboteur teams must sow a lot of confusion and unease whenever there is a deep strike on an ammo dump or somesuch. Was is sabotage, or have the Ukes been given access to longer ranger weapons for HIMARS etc? The latter rumour is currently doing the rounds on Twitter following a recent strike almost on the Crimean peninsula, beyond the range of anything the Ukes have publicly been supplied.
