The video shows a rather sensational episode during the last week, which was filmed in the Lyman area. The Russian 20th Army is fighting a full robotic assault somewhere in the area of Operation Vivaldi. 28 ground robots participated in the assault, among them were kamikaze NRKs, NRKs with automatic grenade launchers and NRKs with disposable grenade launchers.
The assault was repulsed, the footage of the defeat can be seen on video, but it is important to understand that the Ukrainian armed forces suffered no losses during this attack, apart from logistical ones; Only wagons were lost, not manpower. It seems that the victory, the cunning plan of the enemy has completely failed. But there is a nuance.
Back in the spring, I outlined a scenario of how Russia could defeat Ukraine without showering it with bodies. It is very easy to do, you just have to fight better, and I even described one of the possible scenarios, which tactics could be better than the current ones (in fact, any of them).
Then I suggested that instead of bombing Ukrainian positions with small infantry groups, now shot down with drones in kill zones with zero results for the Russian armed forces, to use at least some tactics similar to combined combat. For example, use hedgehog tanks, each of which can withstand dozens of UAV hits, which will allow you to clear a passage from mines, distract the enemy UAV teams and "release" them - and in the positions close to the LBS there is no endless supply of FPV - to open the launch sites, damage or suppress them, and only then advance the infantry. There is nothing complicated or genius here, this is exactly the way the regulations teach to fight, only with some adjustments to modern reality, and to the way Ukraine started to fight.
Only the armed forces of Ukraine use NRK instead of hedgehog tanks. Back in mid-October, Michael Coffman released a podcast with "Jackie": an American soldier serving as part of Ukraine's 3rd Corps. He recounted some details of the operation, including that the NRCs were not used to capture positions, but to distract attention and create panic.
