“An uprising at a military base in the Russian city of Kazan,” Visegrad 24 captioned the photos he posted on Twitter. The video shows dozens of men in military uniform walking toward a guarded gate. They open the gate themselves and walk on. Suddenly, clashes broke out, after which the video was cut off.
According to the news blog, the guards tried to stop the rebellious men, but were unable to do so because they were outnumbered. “The partially mobilized men had had enough of treatment and poor equipment and decided to go home,” Visegrad 24 wrote about the suspected incident in Kazan, southwestern Russia.
Retired Lieutenant General Mark Hertling recently pointed out the lack of discipline, leadership and equipment in the Russian Armed Forces. He noted that the Russians are worse off than the Ukrainians when it comes to fighting in extremely cold conditions. Weather plays an equal role for both parties. What matters then is the fighting and the discipline within the corps.”
Hertling said that the Russians were not ready for the Winter War. They don’t have the equipment to stay dry or uniforms to keep you warm. And the American adds that this is in contrast to the Ukrainian soldiers, who received appropriate uniforms from NATO. “This will give the Ukrainian Armed Forces an advantage this winter, but it won’t change the fact that it will be very difficult,” Hertling concludes.
