The drugging of active-duty soldiers may be a bleak battlefield strategy, but it's not an uncommon one, according to Mick Ryan, a retired Major General in the Australian Army and a military strategist, who said he witnessed the tactic when he was on the border of East Timor with an infantry battalion in 2000. Material recovered from the battlefield suggests Russian soldiers are most likely taking the substances in liquid form, the report said. The men most likely to be battling while high are Russia's " disposable infantry," which primarily consists of conscripts from the Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics, prisoners drafted by the Wagner Group, and mobilized draftees, the report said.Īccording to the Royal United Service Institute report, these "disposable" troops are sent in small groups to "skirmish" with Ukraine's defense "until killed." Ukrainian troops have noted that many of the Russian soldiers continue to advance even after being hurt. The Royal United Service Institute published a May report examining how Russia's military tactics have evolved in the second year of conflict, citing Ukrainian military personnel who said the Russian soldiers they encounter often appear to be "under the influence of amphetamines or other narcotic substances" Russia has taken to chemically lowering its soldiers' inhibitions to guarantee these ill-trained civilians and convicts continue to fight no matter the odds in the ongoing war in Ukraine, according to a UK defense think tank.
