Inside Russia’s Military Collapse | Super Users

Russian soldiers are banned from using their smartphones. But a lack of discipline and a desire for attention means they use them anyway. Their posts online provide a wealth of data about their side of the war. Journalist, Mark Krutov, uses this information to track the locations and movements of Russian troops, as well as their low morale and sinking mood. In our series Super Users, VICE World News explores the latest technology being used to fight crime, trafficking, climate change and social injustice. 00:00 Intro 01:30 Tracking Down Russian Troops 03:08 Inside the Collapse 05:40 Using Social Media to Track Troops https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw613M86o5o4S3BXgi3bCiIVuopQxIMgV Watch more from this series: Ukrainians Are Bombing Russians with Custom Drones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqOdnCEbDU4 The Forensic Artist Solving Cold Cases https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uogQhvonpmY&t=1s Spamming a Multi-Billion Dollar Company https://youtu.be/4N-zOda3pM8 Click here to subscribe to VICE: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE About VICE: The Definitive Guide To Enlightening Information.
