Ukrainian scouts used a captured Russian soldier’s radio to gather intelligence for four days

Ukrainian reconnaissance troops successfully utilized a captured Russian soldier's radio for four days to intercept and relay Russian military communications to their command, according to a report by ArmyInform. The soldiers were part of the 23rd Separate Reconnaissance Battalion, stationed in the Oleksandrivka sector. Russia often employs infiltration tactics, sending small groups to infiltrate Ukrainian positions and create conditions for their main forces to advance further.

To counter these tactics, Ukrainian forces rely on reconnaissance drones and specialized reconnaissance teams. A Russian soldier was captured as he attempted to enter a neighboring house, surrendering to the Ukrainian team. The soldiers received valuable intelligence from the captured soldier, who shared details about Russian military activities during his four-day stay.

The hideout of the captured soldier was later discovered, and the Ukrainian team withdrew without experiencing significant losses, with one soldier sustaining a minor injury.
