Occupiers dismantle their own tanks for scrap metal - intelligence

This is reported by Ukrainian intelligence.

Russian tanks, armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles, knocked out by the defenders of Ukraine, are being evacuated to Russia for repairs. However, during the journey, the enemy's military equipment finally turns into scrap metal, which is no longer subject to repair and restoration.

The occupiers remove spare parts, batteries and weapons control units from equipment and try to sell them or exchange them for alcohol.

Considering the scale of the theft and the critical level of equipment of units with combat-ready equipment, the commander of the troops of the southern military district of Russia ordered urgent investigations into cases of theft of equipment and doubled the security of the echelons that deliver the destroyed equipment to repair units.
