One of the fighting vehicles literally ran into her fighters. Those resulting from injuries that did not allow the storm. The moment with the curious incident of the Russians was on video and was published by the press service of the 22nd OMB of the Armed Forces. "At first glance, the episode above can be perceived purely linearly, in the key" Military Russian Federation demonstrates cruelty to their own. " Analysts write.
At the end of August, there was already a case with a "friendly fire", when the pilot was Randoted Ka-52 struck his troops in the Kursk region, and then allegedly voluntarily went into the infantry to smooth the guilt. Then the Russians tried to explain it with chronic problems with aviation and lack of normal communication between the units.
Defense Express suggested that in history with BMD-4 there may also be similar explanations, but the attempt of Russians to use this technique in the role of "armored" to deliver personnel to the battlefield seems unusual. "The next specific moment is the proper placement of the armor, although the design of the BMD-4 allows you to take up to 5 fighters in the landing compartment. Well, the nature of the unsuccessful maneuvers who performed the crew of this armored vehicle when landing.
The episode described above happened precisely because a specific unit of Russian paratroopers simply did not work out such a maneuver as the landing of personnel with BMD, " - summed up analysts. We will remind, on September 18 it was reported that the 225th battalion showed how the tanks and BMP of the Armed Forces broke through the border of the Russian Federation. The Russian army built a line of defense in the Kursk region of six rows of concrete pyramids and prickly wire, the soldiers told.
