“There was little to no aid in those vehicles (said reporters at the scene), they were carrying Russian troops for reinforcements”
Uhhh....
NO....
You are just repeating yet another Kiev conspiracy theory.
You are only seeing a FEW lightly loaded pics, not the vast majority, as Western Journos WITH the convoy have noted.

As the US Army Convoy Manual I posted last night states, you have to plan for a certain number of vehicles falling out, for various reasons.
You will recall that 283 trucks left Moscow, but only 270-some arrived.
Things break. Have you ever seen a broken down truck along the highway?

“”Alexander Zakharchenko, prime minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, said the rebels were in the process of receiving some 150 armoured vehicles, including 30 tanks, and 1,200 fighters who he said had spent four months training in Russia.””
See, this is what I said. Of course those “fighters” are Russian troops.
Yup, and SO much of it too.
"Almost all of the vehicles are nearly empty, according to journalists who were allowed to inspect them. BBC's Steve Rosenberg finds a vehicle reportedly carrying buckwheat -- nearly empty. This is a screenshot from his video report."
