In another intercepted phone call, a Russian battalion commander in Kherson Oblast advised his counterpart to take a thermal imager to the front line, but warned against sharing it with soldiers. According to him, they often steal military equipment.
“Shady things often happen here at night,” the officer can be heard saying.
“Movement starts when it gets dark. Never give it (a thermal imager) to a soldier. It's better go into battle yourself. Because these f***ing soldiers grab everything and send that home. So many imagers have been stolen.”
