I think it is maybe 48.5721174515755, 38.03325381627405
It is most likelly infiltration, most likelly a drone op didn't spoted the Ukrainan units.

Imagine getting entire hospital backyards filled with bloody discarded effects when fighting tactics like that. The Ukrainian tactics must be even worse then. Maybe they just run in also but with knives and pitchforks to stab the Russian rifle chargers?
A more realistic explanation is that in a battle involving thousands or tens of thousands, a dozen men are easily confused and lost inside enemy controlled ground, forced to fall back without cover, or surrounded because they didn't spot the enemy.
The same article later mentions that they were back in April doing covert jobs beyond the diplomatic one, though
Meanwhile the usual war of figures has begun...
They may not have shot down 54 cruisers, but it seems to me that the Russians are putting together fewer and fewer missiles for their bi-weekly 'saturation' attacks. I think it's beginning to become apparent that they now fire the ones they can produce. And anyway, they also shoot them down with manpads, which is probably the most cost effective method if you can get a number of back-up systems around sensitive targets.

cruise missile in tail chase engagement?. only hypersonic class SAMs can achieve t.
Wait so you're saying that a cruise missile flew by the Ukrainians and who then fired a manpad ticket after the cruise missile flew by, and the rocket was able to catch up with the cruise missile and destroy it?
Thats one hefty assumption to make, specially when the source of number of missiles fired, the Ukranians, can't seem to do math properly seing that according to their numbers, a single missile hit at least 3 targets
Considering that missile exploded nowhere near the route of the missile.
So you reply with a totally different incident
That's my question to you, can you see it? Did you actually see the manpad rocket hit the cruise missile?
The second post is at least believable but doesn't look like it was the same site. Can you confirm it was a manpad missile and not a SAM in the second one?

What ist the difference between a Man Portable Air Defense System (MANPAD) and a SAM? I always thought a MANPAD is a kind of surface-to-air missile (SAM).
