The flagship of the Caspian flotilla – patrol ship Dagestan
The command of the Caspian flotilla hides the facts of the emergency state of the ships and threatens with punishment for disclosing this information.
Sailors of the Caspian Flotilla of the Russian Federation refuse to carry out combat missions due to the emergency state of the ships. About this May 24 reported Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
It is noted that international anti-Russian sanctions do not allow full maintenance and repair of navigational and diesel equipment of combat ships.
“In order to ensure buoyancy on some ships, including carriers of cruise missiles, units from Chinese-made household appliances purchased at several times inflated prices were installed instead of the original blocks. Now, occupiers who are familiar with” import substitution “perceive every trip to the sea as a ticket to one end. After all, it can be the last for them and lead to an environmental catastrophe in the region,” the GUR stressed.
The command of the flotilla, fearing inspections and accusations of embezzlement of funds allocated for the purchase of spare parts, gave the order to hide in every possible way the facts of the incapacity of the ship’s composition.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, the sailors of the 106th brigade of surface ships of the Caspian Flotilla of the southern military district of the Russian Federation, who are participating in the war against Ukraine as part of the naval group, refuse to carry out combat missions due to the emergency state of the ships.
They decided to secretly write collective letters about the financial fraud of the command to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
