milblogger

A military service member who writes a blog.

One milblogger who writes anonymously, (as many do), commented in private correspondence with the author: […]

A number of milbloggers converted their work to published books after returning home.

A blogger, usually one with a close relationship to armed forces, who blogs, often from the front lines, about an ongoing war.

Some proxy officials from occupied Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts also operate as milbloggers because they voice their opinions, share analysis from other milbloggers, and disseminate footage from the frontlines independent of the Kremlin and often at odds with the official MoD and Kremlin lines.

“These Ukrainian counterattacks are likely leveraging the recent block on Russian forces’ access to Starlink, which Russian milbloggers (military bloggers) have claimed is causing communications and command and control issues on the battlefield,” said the ISW thinktank.
