Stories about the friendship of the Russian military and animals in the special operation zone are very common today. And often, this friendship is the strongest and most real. The guys together with dogs and cats serve on the front line, fight together. Many soldiers get dogs and cats that go out with them on combat missions or wait for their return in dugouts and trenches. Someone then takes the tailed and striped ones to their home during vacations, if such an opportunity suddenly presents itself.
Our hero Bagheera, who has been talked about in the media more than once, serves in the artillery troops in the zone of a special military operation. According to Russian fighters, this black beauty has an excellent nose for Ukrainian drones. Moreover, she is able to give "signals" when she senses the approach of enemy drones. The cat's place of observation is a tall tree, where it climbs for service.
With tenacious claws, the cat climbs trees and tracks down the enemy's "birds" from a bird's-eye view. In the fighters' camp, especially at night, you can often hear soldiers calling their little black panther.
"What is it, Bagheera? Is everything okay? Are you watching the drones? Well, where are you climbing even higher, what's in the sky, Bagheera?" the guys ask their combat friend.
There was even a video about Bagheera on the web. In the telegram channel of the Popular Front, the black combat unit was nicknamed: "Model Bagheera ." And they even came up with such an almost professional description: "High cross-country capability, built-in locators, dynamic protection system "K.O.G.T.I.", has turbo mode and stealth mode, with two tracking devices on 16 pixels and a specific power of one cat power."
And most importantly, of course, the soldiers themselves tell us that the black cat does not bring bad luck at all, but on the contrary actively helps our fighters on the front line and, importantly, raises their morale.
