Just to jump in here in as a Cold War infantryman - we did extensive FIBUA training at various specialised training ranges over the years.
We trained to go in through the roof, the doors, windows, mouseholes, not to go in at all but to bypass, to call in air support, to call in armour support, to blow the place up and if I've missed any options we also trained for them.

Well that looks like the splatter from a missile strike to me. Now what sort is the bigger question?
 
 

Similar but legally distinct.

Hate to break it to you but I live in probably the most Muslim area of London, about 1km from the biggest mosque in the country and my neighbours are pretty chilled people. The area has a lot of bars and Muslim shopkeepers will happily sell me pork and beer.
Violent islamic nutcases apparently exist but I am more worried about the far right "reaction" than Muslims just living a different lifestyle to me. 

On one fine day, I was concussed when an enemy shell exploded literally a meter from a hole into which I jumped at the last moment. Then another stone flew into my ribs and I thought with relief that now I was wounded and would go to rest.
              But it was just a stone, and all I got was a very bad headache for the next few months. When the very active phase of the assault ended, the service was established, then I finally transferred to Petrichenko's gang to fly the Mavic. How it was and what it cost is a separate story.
              It was there that we encountered the moment when the enemy left Kherson. Yes, the enemy left in November. But in my opinion, these were the first steps towards them leaving. In the next thread, I will tell how they left, how we entered the villages, how I climbed the enemy's positions and how I almost died.
              Were there any wild moments? So. Were there any problems? So. But let me tell you about them after the war. Not to go storming Pisky now.
 
 

I did this for the 251/9 used at Chenuax, but gave up when trying to get the crew into US uniforms.

MOD with thoughts on RU casualties
 
(4/5) It is likely that Russia has suffered 150,000-190,000 permanent casualties (killed and permanently wounded) since the conflict began, with the total figure including temporarily wounded (recovered and due to return to the battlefield) in the region of 240,000-290,000.
(5/5) This does not include Wagner Group or their prisoner battalions who fought in Bakhmut.

I was a younger more energetic man then.  Now I just want to sit in my chair.
