Has defective cartridges and captured weapons: at the front is fighting a unit of pensioners, details

The artillery unit tried to formally join the Armed Forces to directly receive ammunition and salary, but in vain. It also includes men unusable. In the Zaporizhzhia region there is a mobile artillery unit that is not officially part of the Armed Forces and consists of men aged 60. This was reported in Reuters. "We . . . we live at the expense of the Pension Fund," said 68-year-old unit commander Alexander Taran with the call sign "Grandfather".

Journalists said that fighters from the unit carry out orders of field commanders, cooperate with other military. In particular, the funding of the unit is the cost of donations, as well as the military equipped with defective cartridges, which are repaired and weapons captured by the enemy. According to Alexander Taran, his unit tried to formally join the Armed Forces to get the ammunition and salary directly, but unsuccessfully.

In addition to 60-year-old men, the unit is also at war, who are declared unsuitable for service. The tyrant is convinced that coercion is unlikely to help mobilization. "Beat his stick, if you want, but he will not fight," he said, and added that when a person wants, he can perform his tasks for many years and destroy the enemy.
