A few days ago, a video surfaced online showing the Russian army flipping over civilian vehicles marked with "combat insignia."
The footage featured various "Gazelles," shuttle buses, and dump trucks.
For quite some time, it was unclear why this equipment was necessary. However, the answer turned out to be surprisingly simple.
The civilian transport, which was likely held in reserve by the Russian civil defense units, has become critically important for the Russian army to transport personnel.
This means that the shortage of regular trucks among the Russians has already led to the use of Soviet-era dump trucks for troop movements.
We also cannot forget to mention that the Russian army has begun deploying real armored trains and Mosin rifles from 1891.
