Ukrainian army units use Russian social media posts to precisely locate Russian units and have them destroyed:

> **[‘Our weapons are computers’: Ukrainian coders aim to gain battlefield edge](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/18/our-weapons-are-computers-ukrainian-coders-aim-to-gain-battlefield-edge)**
>
> Delta software developed to help collect and disseminate information about enemy’s movements

Also:

> ## Fragile morale among Russian force significant – UK MoD
> 
> Fragile morale almost certainly continues to be a significant vulnerability across much of the Russian force, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has said in its latest defence intelligence update on the situation in [Ukraine](https://www.theguardian.com/world/ukraine).
> 
> In its daily briefing posted on Twitter, the MoD said soldiers’ concerns primarily focus on very high casualty rates, poor leadership, pay problems, lack of equipment and ammunition, and lack of clarity about the war’s objectives.
> 
> It said **the establishment of two frontline “creative brigades” tasked with**  **raising the morale of troops through providing entertainment and musical instruments among other things is “unlikely to substantively alleviate these concerns** ”.

Somehow both funny and sad.
