Russian troops using pipelines to infiltrate Ukraine. Third such use

[WhatInThe]

Russia has used pipelines to sneak troops into areas of the Ukraine/held territory. The most recent time was the third such use. They have used them enough to set up some logistics including rest and food stations

The most recent infiltration was into Kupyansk.

I'm just wondering what it would be like to crawl through an oil or natural gas pipeline. Sounds dangerous to me. Definately would have to be no smoking.

Treating one's own troops as disposable not only appalling but not a good strategy for winning because if enough troops/experience don't survive a mission what will be left to use in the future.
