At least two brigades of Russia’s Eastern Military District are deploying Iskanders to the west, while it is assumed that Russian missile systems are heading “to Ukraine . “

This is stated in the material of the investigative group Conflict Intelligence Team (CIT).

“On January 11, a video from TikTok, filmed in the Far East, was published on Twitter, and the 9K720 Iskander-M operational-tactical missile system was identified on it,” the report says.

The same cars, only less neatly covered with tarpaulins, are seen in another video filmed in the Sverdlovsk region and posted on January 13.

“For the entire period of observation, we have not seen that any other equipment is completely covered with a tarpaulin, except for these two machines of the Iskander-M complex,” the investigators noted.

“In another video, published on January 11, we did not notice the launchers themselves and / or TZM, but we saw all the same three-axle kungs and road trains. This time the latter were loaded with containers, apparently with Iskander missiles” ‘, investigators admit.

They clarify that, according to indirect information from open databases, these trains with military equipment left the Divisional station in Ulan-Ude and from the Birobidzhan-2 station, not far from which the 103rd and 107th missile brigades of the Russian army are stationed. These formations, armed with Iskanders, are part of the 36th and 35th combined arms armies.

CIT notes that the transfer of the 107th missile brigade “to Ukraine” is also mentioned in the comments to one of the videos with Russian military equipment.photo citeam-ru.medium.com

At the same time, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation explains the transfer of units and formations as a “sudden check” with advancement to the training grounds “at a considerable distance from the points of permanent deployment.”

“However, firstly, before the Vostok-2022 exercises, in preparation for which the transfer is allegedly being carried out, another 8 months, and secondly, we can recall that in 2014 the transfer of Russian regular units to enter the territory of Ukraine also explained by exercises,” the investigators noted.
