    Patrick Lancaster: Night & Day on Russian Frontline Under Fire with "Cascade" (Special Documentary) Archived Message

    Posted by sashimi on July 10, 2023, 2:12 pm

    I am embedded with the Russian DPR OBTF "Cascade" / "Kaskad" on the Russian
    frontline just 60 meters from Ukrainian Positions (Between Zaperozya and
    Ugladar). We could only travel at night because of the intense danger of being
    targeted by drones. Through the day and night Ukrainian drones were overhead
    attempting to target the Russian military equipment and us. In this full length
    Special Documentary I show you what it is like for a Russian "Kaskad" soldier to
    go from their base to the very frontline position and all in-between just before
    the Ukrainian "counter offensive" started (in May). The OBTF "Cascade" includes
    parts of the forces and means of the law enforcement agencies of the DPR. The
    key element of the OBTF "Cascade" is the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the
    DPR. The head of the OBTF "Cascade" is the DPR Minister of Internal Affairs,
    Colonel-General A. A. Dikiy. It should be mentioned that the DPR government is
    actively merging with the Russian Government so things change fast
