JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇷🇺 “20–30 minutes”, CIA Chief’s Stunning Claim About Russian Recruits
CIA Director John Ratcliffe says U.S. intelligence estimates that a Russian recruit arriving on the battlefield in Ukraine may have an average life expectancy of just 20–30 minutes.
The claim highlights the extraordinary lethality of modern warfare, where drones, artillery, surveillance and precision strikes can make the battlefield extremely dangerous for newly deployed troops.
🇺🇦 Ukraine’s extensive use of drones has transformed frontline combat, allowing troops to detect and engage targets rapidly across exposed areas.
👀 If the U.S. intelligence estimate is accurate, it underscores just how dangerous the first moments at the front can be for newly arriving Russian recruits.
