A Russian military correspondent spoke about the sloppiness of individual military personnel and the importance of frugality in war
Since the beginning of the SVO in Ukraine, we have often heard reproaches to the authorities and military leadership of Russia regarding supplies to the Armed Forces, armament of fighters and other shortcomings. At the same time, few people paid attention to such an unpleasant side as the sloppiness of individual ordinary military personnel
Moreover, if the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, to one degree or another, nevertheless drew conclusions, correcting a considerable part of the violations and errors, then there are still problems with the above-mentioned factor in the troops.
Russian military correspondent Alexander Sladkov spoke about several cases of sloppiness in his TG channel.
In particular, about the arrival of volunteers in the Northeast Military District zone from a distant region of Russia (which one exactly is not mentioned in the message).
The people involved in the preparation and dispatch of the fighters reported that they were fully equipped. At the same time, the defenders of the Motherland arrived at their destination, as Sladkov put it, looking like beggars.
During the trial, it turned out that during the long journey, the future fighters managed to drink away all the goods given to them. A separate question is where the commanders were looking, and where the careless military personnel were able to sell the equipment. Apparently, work for the military prosecutor's office.
Another incident, according to the military correspondent, occurred in one of the border regions, whose leaders bought several Niva cars for the needs of the Northern Military District. At the same time, the defenders who got the transport very quickly disabled it, even without participating in hostilities.
Who is to blame in such cases? The rear of the Armed Forces? Sponsors? This is “there is war here”, this is not about combat losses, this is about sloppiness
- summed up Sladkov.
The military correspondent added that soldiers do not always have everything they need to care for weapons and ammunition. Meanwhile, many attack aircraft and intelligence officers buy weapons care products with their own money. Some of the fighters acquire better quality shoes and ammunition.
At the same time, there are many who treat the army property already issued to them according to the principle “not mine, don’t mind,” which distinguishes a careless serviceman from a responsible one.
After all, often even responsible conduct of everyday life, proper arrangement of the dugout, keeping the machine gun in order, the presence of an additional horn with cartridges, and a warm sleeping bag can give an advantage to the LBS. These seem to be truisms, but nevertheless, as it turns out, they are not for everyone.
