May we see more of this sort of mutiny, what some refer to as "fragging?" The Russian troops are surely demoralized and disillusioned over their military failures and humiliation in a completely senseless war.

I'm surprised that the instances of fragging aren't higher. Of course, they're not being reported.

If a number of the upper level Russian commanders reported killed weren't killed by their own men.
