Footage: Russians execute their soldiers in the field for “cowardice”

From the fields near Orikhiv comes another Russian tragedy — an assault meant to inspire fear that instead ended in chaos and betrayal. What was planned as a show of strength by elite airborne forces turned into one of the most catastrophic failures of Russia’s Zaporizhia campaign. Poor coordination, inadequate intelligence, and the relentless reach of Ukrainian drones ensured that the operation collapsed before it even began. Within hours, armored columns were burning, communication lines failed, and command structures disintegrated. Amid the wreckage, many Russian paratroopers chose surrender over certain death, only to find themselves hunted by their own drones for refusing to die on command. The failed attack has now become more than a tactical defeat — it is a stark symbol of the internal decay and desperation consuming Russia’s military from within.
