In the history of warfare, its a very common practice.
And leave your clearly fake politeness somewhere else. Real politeness doesn’t come after cynical barbs.
No links. So, nothing more than the idle speculation of an armchair military strategist.

I haven’t seen any reports of booby traps or even the spiking of guns during this war, it has puzzled me.
I like it, but it is a mystery, maybe the average Russian soldier just isn’t sophisticated enough or intense enough to get that involved at that level.
During this retreat though, time and panic and fear of being captured and punished, and even lack of (easy) means and interest may be accounting for skipping it.
