That kind of crap happens on both sides. It should be punished harshly as the people most directly and immediately are the soldiers. I’m getting tired of all the bloodshed over there … most particularly any bloodshed resulting from corruption.
We do not give two licks about the corruption that exist in both Ukraine & Russia.
There was a Russian general charged with the same. He requested being deployed to the Uke front rather deployment to a Russian cell. Putin complied and sent him back as an NCO in a penal storm trooper unit. His corrupt arse is now drone bait at the front if he’s not dead already.
I can respect that method of punishment. We need something similar for at least 20% of the Pentagon.
According to YouTube blogger Perun the Russians have a new technique to more quickly find corruption. They monitor the battles to see if the food, fuel, and other items are causing losses when they were told those items were indeed there. From this they can quickly deduce who had access and sold them. Arrests and prosecution (whatever that means in this case) follow. The problem, Perun states is that the Russians have made no systemic changes to stop corruption which occurs at virtually every level. It’s astonishing they’ve done as well as they have. One of their best drone pilots filmed a video to be released after he died. In it, he said his commanding officer had seized and sold the equipment he’d crowd funded. Then he’d put this man in a four-man suicide squad.
In the great tradition of Admiral Byng.
