If true, the Russians lost almost two battalions worth of personnel with one shot. Someone’s head will roll for this. Probably literally, and it might even be the actual person responsible for once.
Something goes this badly wrong and they will have to take action. For the dead’s sake I hope it is not a sacrificial lamb.
