I’ve never seen anything like it before. Thus, one of the popular Russian military channels in Telegram commented on a new element of Ukrainian tactics in the war in Ukraine.

The comment appeared on the channel “Two Majors” and concerns a cunning Ukrainian military tactic. According to the story, the Ukrainians started using children’s toys to make the Russians retreat.

How is this done – with the help of drones, the toys in question are thrown in a circle around a given Russian position. They actually make sounds like gunfire – probably children’s submachine guns and pistols.

However, the noise is authentic and the Russians think that the Ukrainians are surrounding them – so they run away. In addition to children’s toys, Ukrainians also use pirates for this purpose – in the same way, again with the help of drones.

Russians have a new fear unlocked: as Dva Mayora reports, Ukrainians started dropping contraptions that imitate the sound of gunfire on Russian positions during combat, making them think they’re encircled But even more so, Russians found children’s toys that “echo and repeat”… pic.twitter.com/GKKGG7dZO8
