- This is to show the Russian population that upper echelon's of leadership are in-control or are "fixing" things
- ISW states: "Shoigu's visit... focus on sustainment and medical support... part of an effort to show that the military leadership is fixing the Russian military's devastating failures"
Today we're playing "Analyst"

Mortar "Cluster" munitions? UA Weapons Tracker on Twitter thinks so:
https://funker530.com/video/mortar-cluster-rounds-used-in-bakhmut/
- M971 120mm
- Scatters 24x M87 AT/AP submunitions
- M87 is the M85 with a mortar-adapted fuze
- HEAT, with both a shaped charge and fragmentation
- Problem with these is 'reported' lack of self-destruct capability
- Leaving them behind for EOD to have to clear later
