Those mobilized for the war with Ukraine from Transbaikalia are forced to repair tanks and armored personnel carriers at their own expense. One of the military told Siberia.Realities about this.
According to him, he became a tanker after the announcement of mobilization, and he served as a driver for military service. When he was called up, he was sent to the Krasny Yar training ground, where the military lived for a month and a half before being sent to the front. The interlocutor of "Sibir.Realii" says that your tank is assigned to each of the "specialists".
“When they showed me my car, I laughed for a long time: we have both tanks and armored personnel carriers – all of the Soviet assembly. Collected from sticks. We had to put them in order. And the army has no money for this. We bought everything at our own expense – tools, spare parts. We collected as much as we could. We learned everything from books, even bought manuals through the Internet, ”he said. Sibir.Realii also published a check for the purchase of benefits.
The problems faced by the mobilized are known from the first day of mobilization. The military is forced to staff at its own expense, poorly prepared to be sent to war, and forbidden to tell others about it. For disclosing information about the plight of the mobilized, you can get a fine under the article on “discrediting” the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for 30 thousand rubles, as happened with the administrator of the public “Bataisk City” Olesya Shishkanova.
