Like a crocodile, a BTR can stalk its prey for hours. It'll remain near motionless under water until the moment of the kill.

Looked up BTR and even asked AI and I am turning up blank. What is it exactly?
It's a Soviet APC. The picture here is an aerial shot of a Russian soldier in battle staring at the BTR he escaped from after it was driven into a lake by accident.
And it looks exactly one of the "crocodile grabs antelope drinking from stream" videos
Someone else posted a link for you, but there is a bit more as well.
BTRs & IFVs are horrendously under-armored for the minefields that are in Ukraine right now. It's why we are seeing group party pictures like this:
TBH, you need something like an MRAP to handle mines especially since there are reports of double and triple-stack mines out there. (It doesn't stop Russian command from just yeeting out 5 or 6 BTRs at a time.)

Ethnic minorities are disposable. There's a reason why they even have two separate words for "Russian": one for ethnic Russians and one for everyone else.
And that is what confuses me. At least Wagner had the decency to send their prisoner conscripts as targets to locate artillery positions. They were "disposable", but they had a function.
Here? Nada. No function. They point to a group of men and tell them to go clear a minefield the manual way. So, they do what they have to do and try and get a chance against the mines but they soon realize that armor doesn't work very well if you are sitting on it.
Fuckin' insanity.
This is how they have operated for centuries. They literally don't know how to do tactics in any other way than "throw meat at it"
Please for the love of the gods and all that is fuzzy, don't treat "AI" like some sort of search engine. You absolutely can't trust a fucking word they output because of their propensity to hallucinate (ie. make shit the fuck).
The fact alone that whatever fucking woo-woo LLM you asked couldn't give you an answer for what BTR could mean should already tell you something
