Ukrainian partisans report the appearance of old equipment and untrained conscripts in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions

Facing a critical shortage of equipment and personnel, russian occupiers are restoring old military equipment in Crimea for deployment to the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. This was reported by the Atesh partisan movement on Telegram.

It is known that the movement's agents recorded trucks with KUNGs (Romanized: kuzov universal'nyy nulevogo gabarita; English: universal body of zero dimension) being loaded onto a train near Yevpatoria. According to the Atesh, the use of such vehicles at the front shows the huge problems of replacing destroyed vehicles.

The Atesh reported that Conscripts, who are not receiving any training, are being sent to the front along with this equipment. Such units are formed just to increase their numbers, with neither the skills nor the resources to carry out the tasks.

Earlier Defense Express reported that Ukrainian partisans had monitored transfer of Msta-S howitzer in russia's Krasnodar Krai.
