Russian forces have deployed a unique acoustic system named the “Yazykoved” (lit. Linguist ), a device mounted on a Tigr vehicle equipped with loudspeakers to broadcast messages in Ukrainian and Russian, urging Ukrainian soldiers – who are often conscripted into the military against their will – not to die for NATO’s interests.
The Russian Defense Ministry has reported that the 47th Mechanized Brigade had to be withdrawn from the Rabotino area of the Zaporozhye region by the Ukrainian command due to the soldiers reluctance to carry out combat missions in the face of mounting casualties.
Russian artillerymen of the Central Military District using D-30 howitzers fired 122-mm propaganda shells at Ukrainian positions in the Krasny Liman direction. Russian servicemen make special shells for this purpose, which are loaded with leaflet rolls instead of explosives.
