Soldiers of the Russian army are motivated and sometimes have a fairly high level of training, which does not prevent our defenders from destroying the enemy an

This was stated during an ArmyTV stream on March 6 by the head of the combat training group of the 131st Separate Reconnaissance Battalion named after Colonel Yevhen Konovalets, callsign “Mengel”.

— I cannot evaluate the enemy’s training because I do not know how their training takes place. But the enemy is brainwashed, let’s start with that — you understand yourselves, Russian propaganda is working.

They are placed in certain conditions where they cannot retreat back — for them it is only forward, only forward, — he said.

Enemy infantrymen have a certain level of training, which for some of them can be quite high-quality.

— They have a certain level of training. I will say that the enemy should not be underestimated at all, because in doing so we would devalue the work of our defenders, our brothers-in-arms, our Cossacks, — the serviceman emphasized.

Russians also resort to different tactics depending on weather conditions and terrain features.

— The enemy has numerical superiority and their own well-practiced tactics. In different weather conditions and under different terrain circumstances this tactic may vary somewhat.

It is unexpected — they use the factor of surprise and rapid approach to initiate close combat, which is very important, — Mengel reported.

— Our brothers-in-arms are in very difficult psychological conditions while repelling such attacks.

The enemy has certain training — exactly what kind I cannot say — but judging by their tactics and the results they seek to achieve, it seems that this training can be quite strong.

But again, this does not prevent us from repelling them, — assured the head of the combat training group of the 131st Separate Reconnaissance Battalion named after Colonel Yevhen Konovalets.
