Crawling nine miles .. . over four days . . . wearing breathing gear

A standard scuba tank would last about an hour (two at the most). For someone to take ~96 hours worth of air would be impractical. Even filling with O2 would only reduce the load by 5X, needing 19 tanks per person. Sounds like a stretch.

Russian Raiders Crawled For Miles Through Gas Pipeline To Attack Ukrainians In Kursk

http://www.yahoo.com/news/russian-raiders-crawled-miles-gas-195209774.html

Mon, March 10, 2025
Details have emerged of an extraordinary mission launched by Russian soldiers in the Kursk region, during which they penetrated deep into Ukrainian-held territory via a gas pipeline. The soldiers — reportedly around 100 in total — were apparently tasked with an assault on Sudzha, a critical Ukrainian-held town in the region. Although the results of the raid are unclear at this stage, it further underscores the huge challenge that Ukraine faces if it’s to retain a foothold in this area of western Russia.

Multiple photos and videos purportedly documenting the operation have also been published by Russian military social media accounts, including showing soldiers wearing breathing gear and moving down the pipeline that is only around 4.5 feet wide. Reportedly, the raiders spent four days crawling through the pipeline, which is roughly nine miles long. Unconfirmed reports suggest that some of the soldiers may have suffocated while in the pipeline. However, at least some made it out.

Apparently there are videos.

Crawling nine miles .. . over four days . . . wearing breathing gear . . . (Presumably carrying oxygen tanks?) Not to mention carrying food, water, weapons, ammunition . . . While obviously SOMETHING happened . . . I'm not too sure this accounting is accurate.
