that has been reported recently. They drive their vehicles into minefields and send the infantry running towards defensive lines in waves. There are a few drone videos of such idiocy circling.

It's not that they do it entirely on purpose. Apparently they drive the vehicles into routes they believe have been cleared but have already been mined again by artillery. First one blows up, the rest panic. As they can't reverse fast enough they need to turn the vehicles around running into more mines. Eventually they all get blown up. Astonishing to look at. Not to mention driving too close to each other, driving in a row close to front line, not having the mine sweepers in the lead vehicles amd so forth.
