Russian Soldier's "Explosives" are Actually Blocks of Wood
Published 2 years ago
Ukrainian soldiers inspecting abandoned Russian equipment find a package labeled as explosives. Upon further inspection, it turns out the explosives are actually just blocks of wood.
What we're allegedly looking at here is Ukrainian Soldiers inspecting abandoned Russian equipment. While they were expecting to find some useful explosives that they themselves could use, they instead found a block of wood wrapped up and labeled as explosives that the Russians were carrying with them into combat.
I will admit that this video smells fishy. This could easily be a Ukrainian Soldier making a funny video where he re-wrapped some Russian equipment with a block of wood to make a funny video. The reality of the situation on the ground for the Russian troops thus far however has painted them in a pretty poor light. The Russian military is one of the most corrupt military institutions in the world. There is indeed a very high likelihood that some Russian acquisitions officer made a good payday for himself by buying "cheap explosives" with the hopes that his military would never actually need it.
