Russia has “likely largely stopped” deploying its troops as Battalion Tactical Groups (BTGs) in Ukraine after “intrinsic weaknesses” were exposed in the Ukraine war, British defence chiefs said on Tuesday.
The Ministry of Defence said BTGs have “played a major part in Russian military doctrine for the last 10 years”. This has seen battalions integrated with a full range of supporting sub-units, including armour, reconnaissance and artillery, according to the MoD.
