Given drones and other technical performance, you might think that war is now being carried out with the latest resources. The Russian army now proves the opposite. In the middle of an acute lack of transport, the army uses unusual resources: donkeys and horses now take over transport and supplemental transport.
Given a dramatic lack of suitable means of transport on the battlefield, the Russian army now uses the animals to raise ammunition stocks and supplies.
Reports of Russian Pro-War Bloggers and the “Moscow Times” recently approved the use of Piondieren for Military Logistics by the Ministry of Defense.
“They gave us a real, damn donkey”
A soldier reported in a telegram channel: “He is now in the pension group” and added a joke: “They gave us a real, damn donkey.” Soldiers report that they have found package animals on deserted farmers now they are used, now, to move through difficult access to terrain.
Another report said that horses in certain regions are also used as a means of transport, especially in areas with difficult road conditions.
“Inventionality” surpasses logistical problems
“The Russian army is known for its ingenuity,” a Prorussian telegram canal joked, “but even we would never have believed that we would move forward with a donkey.” with which the Russian army is confronted.
The lack of functioning vehicles, especially heavier trucks such as the popular “UAL” models, leads to the fact that package animals play an always central role.
Animals can become a permanent solution
Experts suspect that the use of donkeys and horses is initially intended as an emergency measure, but it can develop into a permanent solution if the lack of motor vehicles continues. An anonymous military expert commented on the “Novaya Gazeta-European”: “Who knows what we will see in six months?”
The use of animals as a means of transport can not only be a practical answer to logistical problems, but also a symbolic picture of the challenges of Russian warfare.
Old Lada’s should also help
Not only have it been asked: in recent weeks there have also been reports that Russian soldiers should fall back on civilian vehicles in the more remote parts of the war zone, such as old Lada’s from the Soviet period. In their appearance, these improvised vehicles are reminiscent of mail -aapocalyptic vehicles from “Mad Max” and illustrate the precarious situation of the Russian army in the care of their troops.
