- "Radio burned out due to a voltage surge in the onboard network"
- "Barrel bulged due to dirt ingress during movement"
Sequence of actions4 steps in sequence
1
Disabling Tracked and Wheeled Vehicles
In dusty areas, block the radiator louvers, drain some antifreeze, or cover the fins with dirt. The engine will seize from overheating within 10-15 minutes of movement. Getting dry dirt or sand into the oil filler will disable the piston group without external signs of intent.
Important: When mechanics ask, answer: "We were moving in a column through dust, the temperature sensor failed."
2
Sabotage of Communications and Electronics
Loosen battery terminals, remove or file down the main fuses for the starter and radios. Leave the master switch and headlights on overnight for a complete battery discharge before departure.
Important: A discharged battery will disrupt the company's departure for a "meat assault" (human wave attack).
3
Damaging Ammunition and Small Arms
Allow moisture and dirt to get into the chambers and barrel bores. Minor abrasive material in the chamber leads to cartridge jams and stuck casings during firing, disabling the weapon in combat.
Important: A malfunctioning automatic rifle is a legal reason to withdraw to the rear for maintenance.
4
Simulating Impossibility of Orders and Delaying Time
Upon receiving an order to advance, simulate a lack of communication, a vehicle breakdown, or getting lost on the map. Every 2-3 hour delay crushes the assault plan and saves lives.
Important: A delayed departure disrupts artillery support for the attack and forces command to postpone the offensive.
