'Russian troops survive just 20–35 minutes on Ukraine frontlines'

Russian troops survive just '20–35 minutes' on Ukraine frontlines, pro-war bloggers claim Russian pro-war military bloggers have claimed that troops deployed in Ukraine are surviving only “20–35 minutes” on the frontline amid intense drone warfare and infantry assaults.The reports, shared on pro-war “Z-channels” on Telegram and amplified by the Ukrainian ASTRA channel, and cited by Foreign Policy, highlighted the heavy toll of sustained drone strikes and high-intensity combat on Russian forces.“The average life expectancy of a Russian assault soldier on the front line is 20–35 minutes,” one widely shared post said, adding that the time from training ground to deployment was now “10 days to 3 weeks.”Another pro-war channel, "House Among the Laurels", claimed that mass mobilisation notices were being distributed across Russia, suggesting that this “indicates that the relevant instructions have been issued”.The posts also describe the war as being reshaped by drone warfare, with one author stating that combat survival rates have sharply declined and that many soldiers are “wounded or killed in the rear” before even reaching the front line.
