Soldiers with phones

The Washington Post reports Russian troops in Ukraine "have relied, with surprising frequency, on unsecured communication devices such as smartphones and push-to-talk radios."

But this is leaving Russia's units "vulnerable to targeting...further underscoring the command-and-control deficiencies that have come to define Moscow's month-long invasion, observers say.

While the Russian military possesses modern equipment capable of secure transmission, but troop on the ground have found these too difficult to use and have been using less-secure lines. Reports have come in of young soldiers actually using personal phones to contact others.
