The partial mobilization of warmonger Vladimir Putin (69) has so far been a reservist entry of horror!
Old and sometimes terminally ill people were sent to the front, as were drunks and fathers of large families. The latest intelligence update from the British Ministry of Defense reports that other contingents have been relocated.
The regularly released report states: “The average level of their personal gear is almost certainly lower than the already poor supply of previously deployed troops.”
EVEN LOWER?!
The lousy equipment of the Putin reservists is an open secret: even food and medicine are in short supply!
According to the British secret service, there is also a lack of body protection, such as bulletproof vests. These should actually be generally issued as part of the Russian Ratnik equipment program.
And so the draftees have to take care of themselves. But even in war, the laws of supply and demand apply. The prices for protective vests of the type 6B45 have more than tripled in the Russian online trade.
