FPV helmet cam footage of an infantry skirmish near Belgorod, Russia. The source describes the forces involved as DRG HUR. “HUR” is an acronym for the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, while “DRG” may mean “deep reconnaissance group,” while another source describes its as a “sabotage reconnaissance group.” Whatever their designation, the unit is apparently operating within Russia, striking targets deep in the Russian rear. Their actions look more like a deep raid, and early in the video a soldier is seen planting a mine or an explosive in a wheel rut on a trail. This unit purportedly engaged a Russian platoon with small arms and mortars. The action bears all the features of a deep raid intended to harass enemy lines of communication and is intended to have psychological and political effects as much as tangible operational outcomes.
