Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland have announced they will leave the Ottawa Convention of 1997, which prohibits anti-personnel landmines. Later in June, all five states are expected to give the United Nations formal notice of their withdrawal, allowing them to manufacture, stockpile and deploy such munitions from the end of the year. Together, they guard 2,150 miles of Nato’s frontier with Russia and its client state of Belarus.
Military planners are already working out which expanses of European forest and lake land would be planted with these deadly devices, laden with high explosives and shrapnel, if Vladimir Putin were to mass his forces against the alliance.
I guess my Russians gore folder is western propoganda too. Thanks for clearing it up!

Russians moving in a single-file line doesn’t mean “human wave tactics” are at play. Further, maintaining a “gore folder” is highly disgusting behavior, holy shit.
Why would they move in such mass on active battlefield tho? How would you call such tactics? How do you imagine human wave tactics? Is it in the style where Russians are just driven over by an APC?
Troop movements. “Human wave” tactics fell oit of fashion under the Tsar, because they are utterly ineffective, yet the slavic Russians continually get slandered as such due to the persistance of Nazi propaganda against the Red Army among western countries, who dug that back up during the cold war uncritically against the Soviets, until it’s now associated with Russians like it’s a genetic factor.
Small context addition for the tsarist human waves, all other armies used it too in that times, just read what massacres Douglas Haig or earlier Frederic the Great ordered.
Thanks for the context, that helps a good bit.
Wtf? It wasn’t even gore? Just proof of huge russian column being attacked by drones
Sure, Ukraine uses drones, as does Russia, and Russia indeed has troops. This is not the same as “human waves,” the post-war Nazi cope for why the Nazis lost Stalingrad despite the Red Army using advanced (at the time) tactics to draw comparison to the “mongol hordes” due to the asiatic Russian ethnicity. This “human waves” myth perpetuates to this day because western powers repeated it enough times to pretend it’s true, and somehow persists to this day despite the laws of the battlefield changing radically since the 1800s when such tactics did exist in some degree.
