Russian frontline troops surviving as little as 20–35 minutes amid Ukraine drone war

Russian soldiers deployed to frontline positions in Ukraine are reportedly surviving for as little as 20 to 35 minutes, according to pro-war Russian bloggers. The extremely short survival times are attributed to intense Ukrainian drone warfare combined with infantry assaults. These bloggers have also highlighted the rapid pace at which troops are being pushed into combat. Additionally, Ukrainian long-range strikes continue to hit Russian infrastructure, with a recent refinery fire underscoring the damage. The escalating conflict is being seen as reshaping modern combat dynamics while increasing military and political pressure on Moscow.
