"Exploiting mobile phone use to locate enemy positions is not new in this war, but experts said the attack over the weekend may highlight unprofessional practices and a disregard for human life by Russian military authorities."

I heard back in Vietnam war , we had a device that could measure urine odor.
They found that where there was jungle, and no friendlies... when the helicopter went over and measured odor, the concentrations and local would pinpoint the enemy.
The enemy found out, put urine in plastic bags, left a great deal of it in areas they weren't and the US would attack with our batteries, airpower, etc. then go in and find nothing. The enemy was elsewhere . The US used up its ordinance over several tries. Then someone found the bags of urine... put 2 & 2 together and stopped using the tactic.
Multi million dollar tech/ operation defeated by a plastic bag.
Point NVA

..."While a blow to morale and military prestige, the deadly attack may not prove a significant battlefield issue for the Kremlin, however.
“It is a tactical setback for Russia, but it’s one that they can absorb easily because Russia’s answer to the challenge of fighting the war so often in Russia’s past is to throw in more bodies into Ukrainian bombs and bullets,” Giles said.
Putin has already called up hundreds of thousands of reservists to try and bolster his struggling invasion in the wake of a series of embarrassing defeats.
In his nightly address Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned the Kremlin may be planning another mobilization and urged his country to prepare for a new Russian offensive.
“Now is the moment when together with our partners we must strengthen our defense. We have no doubt that the current masters of Russia will throw everything they have left and everyone they can muster to try to turn the tide of the war and at least postpone their defeat,” Zelenskyy said."
