:marseyyawn: Shovels bit come from some POV saying they were forced to assult without ammo when they run out, or they weren't supplied with enough ammo to begin with. Different waves were supplied differently.

This is the only quote in the article that explains the headline.

The ministry added that the increased close-quarter fighting was probably due to a continued focus from Russia's military on deploying soldiers on foot due to a lack of artillery ammunition.

So this is one claim about why they were focused on infantry tactics, not a claim that anyone was fighting unarmed. If there was some source to anyone fighting without access to guns (let alone actual evidence), it's definitely not in the article.

Note that the smug headline buries an entire article focused on Russian advances, the impending capture of a city, and officials' attempts to downplay the victory.

was going to add "and NBC is probably trash" to that comment. Read WSJ's article about Wagnerites yearsterday, WSJ are some of few journos who get the bullet last.
