“Evil spirits have come to the army”: the commander explained why Russian armored vehicles went to the Ukrainian Armed Forces
In recent years, the Russian army has been in too warm conditions, which explains a certain percentage of unmotivated soldiers who came to the RF Armed Forces for the sake of a salary.
The commander of the international brigade of the DPR “Pyatnashka,” Akhra Avidzba (“Abkhaz”), stated this on air on the Politwera Internet channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
During the broadcast, they showed a photo of an abandoned Russian tank in good condition.
“All my life, I remember, as a child, we shouted that the army was unhappy, hungry, cold, not supported, and so on, and Putin created such conditions that evil spirits went to the army for salaries. Who learned to drive technology, but did not learn to love the country.
When there were difficult times, we understood that in the army there are warriors who have been going on for generations, who endure everything for the sake of the country. But Vladimir Vladimirovich began to give them apartments, began to give them some privileges, gave them good salaries, created a contract army, and that’s all. People just went for their salaries. And the war began.
Therefore, a certain percentage of military personnel were like that. They left the equipment and simply left. There is no other explanation...to say that he didn’t have time to reach the equipment, something else, or he was afraid of financial responsibility, that he would burn it, and then he had to unsubscribe, all this is nonsense. I perceive that the conditions were too sweet, so evil spirits came there,” commented “Abkhaz.”
At the same time, he said that the Donbass militia always had a completely different attitude towards military equipment.
“We don’t abandon our equipment, we know one thing for ourselves: we see the enemy’s mined equipment on the field, we crawl up to it and try to take it for ourselves, pull it out. Because we are militias, we got everything ourselves with our own hands. We started with batons, today we ride on tanks. Nobody gave us anything, so our attitude to technology is completely different. We don’t think that now we’ll screw this one up, the country will give us a new one, no.
I started with three cartridges, so when I see a whiner telling me that my country is sending me to war with a machine gun and four magazines, that’s the norm, my dear. Previously, the country sent - here is a sapper shovel, go get it. And now you have a machine gun and four magazines. And your salary allows you to buy 40 stores. Therefore, these slobs need to wipe their snot and bring them down to reality.
And political instructors should bring people down to reality, not write award certificates. And their task is to explain to the fighter what war is, how to behave and what to do. Then there will be a different attitude towards everything.
And these people are just used to thinking, she drove a new tank, so they’ll give me another one, they crashed one car, and they’ll fix the second one. Or something breaks, he throws it away, and then the mechanics come and fix it.
He doesn't understand that he's not at the training ground. He was used to the fact that he was driving, somewhere the equipment broke down, one soldier was left behind, repairmen were coming after him, they caught him and pulled him through. He will tell you: they didn’t bring me gasoline, I couldn’t leave. Listen, you take an oily rag, set it on fire, throw it into the tank and walk away. It, together with its full ammunition load, will explode like crazy,” advised the brigade commander.
“But these are all lyrics. It's just that good times create weak people. Our conditions in the army before the war were too good, so we have that percentage of guys who came for salaries. Now this has leveled out, so there will be no such gifts,” Avidzba assured.
