Russian forces have likely largely stopped being deployed as battalion tactical groups (BTGs), the UK Ministry of Defence has said.
The ministry said in its daily intelligence briefing that several weaknesses of the BTG concept have been revealed during the war.
BTGs have been described as one of “the most important determinants of victory” by experts.
“Only these units, in cooperation with other branches of arms and other military services, can perform the full spectrum of defensive and offensive tasks,” the Royal United Services Institute said.
