Vyborg II.

This is coolbert:

"As a result of the Soviet [scorched earth] campaign, several hundred German troops and an unspecified number of Kyiv residents were killed. There were losses among the civilian population, but before anyone could count civilian victims of the communist [operation], the German troops began their own mass executions at Babi Yar "

Radio-controlled and detonated large-scale mines used in the Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union [1940] also used by the Soviet in the aftermath of the Battle of Kiev [1941]. German occupiers of the city subjected to masssive explosives set off by Soviet NKVD troops identical to what occurred previously in Vyborg.

From the article as seen at the web site of Euromaidanpress and thanks to same.

"How Soviet troops destroyed downtown Kyiv and killed Kyivans in 1941"

"Kyiv was captured by the Germans on September 19, 1941, while from September 20 to September 28 the Soviet Red Army conducted [a scorched earth operation] to destroy its own country’s residential and administrative buildings, which, according to intelligence, were occupied by the Germans. The objective of the operation was to cause casualties to the invaders with the help of the latest weapon at the time – radio-controlled mines. Soviet sappers ensured a surprise attack by these remote-controlled explosives by secretly installing high explosives in downtown Kyiv including residential buildings inhabited by civilians before the Germans occupied the city."

"Over the course of the week after the Germans captured Kyiv, more than 200 buildings were blown up by the Soviets. Khreshchatyk, the city’s main downtown street, was almost completely destroyed."

WITHIN CONTEXT OF THE CURRENT UKRAINE CRISIS ALL OF THIS IS RELEVANT. GUERRILLA WARFARE WAGED AGAINST THE RUSSIAN INVADER USING EXPLOSIVELY FORMED PENETRATOR [EFP] DEVICES REMOTELY DETONATED WILL BE THE FASHIONABLE THING TO DO?

Russian beware! An invasion of the Ukraine might well not be such a push-over!
