Massive technical failures are being recorded in river boat units of the Russian Armed Forces in the Kherson region. Russian counterintelligence suspects that the military is deliberately disabling equipment to avoid combat operations.
This is reported by agents of the military movement of Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars “Atesh” in their own Telegram channel. According to them, the equipment fails at the most critical moments.
The command of the armed forces of the aggressor country Russia is investigating the possible deliberate damage to boats in the Kherson region. According to Atesh agents, a critical situation has developed in the 92nd brigade of river boats, which is part of the restored Dnieper River Flotilla and is subordinate to the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
According to traffic information , malfunctions occur precisely at the moments when the boats are supposed to enter the Dnieper water area. The command no longer considers this to be a consequence of normal wear and tear and suspects targeted sabotage. Russian counterintelligence believes that the crews are deliberately disabling their boats so as not to become another target for the Ukrainian military.
“The Dnieper flotilla is gradually becoming a flotilla of fixed objects. And this is just the beginning of our joint “technical support,” Atesh emphasizes.
OBOZ.UA previously reported that agents of the military movement of Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars “Atesh” said that in the Pokrov direction number of reports from Russian officers for transfer to rear units has increased. The command is trying to keep them with threats of financial penalties and loss of position.
We will remind you that in the temporarily occupied part of the Kherson region, new methods of “motivation” have been recorded, which Russian commanders are applying to personnel. To force the occupiers to go on an assault, they are sent to “pits”, where they are kept in mud, not allowed to sleep.
