I really don't know. The Russians actually publish a lot of videos of their drones just missing, or it could be influenced by EW, but a miss or loss of control is almost always followed by an immediate explosion. There's a break in the video so it's possible something happened in that break.
With what is happening in Kursk it seems the Gen Stab U is playing rope a dope in the east. Not replacing losses I don't get. The Union army in the ACW operated the same: raising new regts instead of filling depleted, but experienced ones, and that didn't work too well either.
Question Don- on the Pokrovsk axis … do the Russians place defensive emplacements on the flanks of that salient? Like massive minefields etc or it’s just dug in , shoveled field fortifications with heavy attack drone coverage?
The most common action I've seen were Russians using shovels, and not all the time. I haven't heard of them using artillery to place mines in a long time and hand-placed mines are hard to place when under fire, plus you have to move the mines to the front and the Russians are already complaining about the lack of food, water and ammo due to Ukrainian drones hampering their supply efforts.
Right now the best Russian defense is their relentless offense. On the static flanks north of Ocheretyne I'm sure they are dug in but still believe that extensive minefields are unlikely.
The 47th footage.
At 0:50/54, is that a Ru FPV drone/Lancet that gets EW’d and dropped like 10m from the Brad?

Thank you, Don.

The Confederate regiments did benefit from placing green replacements in depleted veteran units.
"At the same time, an out-of-view Bradley to the right engages him but he survives.:"
Judging by the amount of fire he received to his position that is highly unlikely :-)
He was last seen crawling, that's all I know. The initial shots were short.
