Question: Are Russian troops not having their limbs blown off by IED’s, or are we just not hearing about it?
The Russians aren’t stupid. They control the press in the areas under their control.
“Question: Are Russian troops not having their limbs blown off by IED’s, or are we just not hearing about it?”
The reason that IEDs work on our troops is because of our sickening RULES OF ENGAGEMENT. I can PROMISE you that if the Russians see a vehicle on the side of the road in Syria, with or without people in it, that vehicle will find itself on a one-way trip to Tripoli. Likewise, I have no doubt that cell phones don’t work all that well withing 10 kilometers of any Russian unit.
