Russians forced to rely on “complete shit.”
1/ Russian forces fighting in Ukraine are facing a "catastrophic" shortage of reliable modern armoured vehicles, and instead have to rely on antiquated Soviet "shit that burns and kills our soldiers". ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/noel... [image or embed]
2/ The Russian Voenkor Kotenok Telegram channel highlights the problems that Russian troops are having due to their reliance on old Soviet armoured vehicles, which cannot withstands landmines or drones. The blogger blames the greed and inaction of Russian manufacturers.
3/ "We have a huge problem with the delivery of infantry and the movement of infantry in the frontline area and its direct defeats there even by small arms.
4/ "The means of delivery of infantry – both BMP (1-2-3), BMD (1-2-3) and wheeled APCs – absolutely do not correspond to the realities of modern combat. Moreover, very often the consequence of their use can be called high losses of personnel. I am putting it mildly.
5/ At the front line they express themselves more directly: "This is complete sh@t that burns and kills our soldiers ..."."
6/ "But... everything was shelved, because it is much easier to pour money into the advertised "Armata", "embroider", beating everyone in a row in tank biathlon, and now it is easier to send people to assault on something that is cumbersome, inconvenient, that burns and penetrates through."
