While brutal, he agreed that such tactics make sense for Putin's bedraggled army - which has a ready supply of poorly trained prisoners and conscripts filling its ranks, but lacks professional soldiers who can attack effectively. Professor Philpott said such attacks are also usually preceded by an artillery barrage to weaken enemy defences, giving troops a fighting chance.īut this does not appear to be happening in Bakhmut, suggesting that Russia could be running low on shells that proved vital to its advances in Donbas last year. 'But I can't come up with examples of small groups of troops being sacrificed to draw an enemy out.' He added: 'There are historical examples of poorly prepared troops being thrown into mass attacks, during the first days of the Somme or Verdun. 'The novelty is in sending troops forward to get them killed in order to expose positions.' He said: 'Human wave attacks where you send in large numbers of troops to try and overwhelm a position are one thing, but this is sending a suicide squad in to try and get people to reveal their position. Professor Philpott added that such tactics resemble the early days of the Somme when untrained troops were thrown head-on into battle against a professional army, creating a bloodbath that remains one of the deadliest battles ever fought. Professor William Philpott of King's College said today that the tactic is different to the 'human wave' attacks Putin's army has been using, and sounds more like 'suicide squads.' Ukrainian soldiers say hapless Wagner mercenaries are being used as bait to lure Kyiv's men into shooting them and revealing their positions, before Russian special forces try to outflank them and take them out. Russia is using 'suicide squad' tactics reminiscent of the Somme in the battle of Bakhmut which could backfire and threaten Vladimir Putin's regime, an expert has said. ![]()
