A recent transferring of Russian military equipment to the Ukrainian border attracted a lot of attention in social media. InformNapalm volunteers also have been tracking new videos and locating them on the map, trying to determine the purpose of such activity of Russian troops near the border with Ukraine.

On April 8, DFRLab [https://medium.com/dfrlab/minskmonitor-russian-fighting-vehicles-appear-at-border-2b647a4b4135] published an investigation that analyzed two videos. Geolocation in the investigation was done precisely, so we will not dwell on it. We will look at the additional details that have not been brought up in the DFRLab investigation.
[VIDEO-2 AT LINK]
From the first video based on the number of BMP-3 seen, we learn that these vehicles belong to a motor rifle company. Other types of vehicles in a company, such as a command and control vehicle or trucks are absent which can indicate that it can be either a:
-Training march; -Transferring of new equipment from the railway station to the point of permanent deployment; -Transferring to a test site.
The video shows artillery command vehicles that are moving in front of a 2C3 Akatsiya self-propelled howitzer. The first vehicle in the group is the 1V13, and the second one is either the 1V16 or 1V13. It is hard to see due to poor video quality.
Please note that on the first video on one of the MTLB in front of the Akatsiya howitzer, there are four short antennas sticking out on the stern. This is very similar to the mobile EW system, which suppresses the control signal of a radio-controlled land mine.
Similar systems were used by the Russian army in Syria and Chechnya to protect convoys from landmines. Is it possible that on its own territory, in Rostov Oblast, the Russian army is wary of IED attacks on armored vehicles columns?
Another alarming sign is either completely or partially painted over identification numbers on some BMP-3. Why paint over the numbers, if you do not plan to transfer equipment to the occupied territory discretely?
Judging by the ID numbers that were not completely painted over, we can assume with a high degree of certainty that the BMPs belong to the 102nd or 103rd Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 150th Motorized Rifle Division that is temporally stationed in the village of Persianovka (permanently based in Novocherkassk). Persianovka is close to Petrovka and Bolshoy Dolzhik.

Conclusions:
Many experts predict a possible increase of hostilities in the Donbas region in the spring. The Russian military under the guise of training marches can supply additional weapons and equipment to strengthen the 1st and 2nd Army Corps in the occupied territory of Ukraine.
Perhaps, only some of the military vehicles are planned to be transferred across the border – the ones with painted over ID numbers, accompanied by mobile EW systems to prevent IED attacks on military convoys. The rest of the equipment will remain in reserve and at the polygons on the border with Ukraine.
For four years Russia has been sending weapons, equipment and groups of servicemen who support and coordinate mercenaries’ actions to the occupied territory.
In April 2018, InformNapalm international intelligence community will present the most complete database of armaments and units of the Russian army that have been spotted in the Donbas.

What is a ....boarder?
You know ... in the old pirate movies, when the two ships close with each other, and the crew of one jumps over the rails to assault the crew of the other with cutlasses and pistols?
That act is called "boarding", and the people who do it are called "boarders".
"STAND BY TO REPEL BOARDERS!!!"
Because the “boarder” is behind on his rent payments????
How 'discrete' can a tank rolling down the road be?

Does something like this exist for military equipment?
Depends on whether he’s documented or not.
Why HASN'T America transferred armored vehicles with ANY KIND OF board numbers to the Mexican border?
Wrong question...
Why HASN’T America transferred armored vehicles with ANY KIND OF board numbers to the Mexican border?

Whaaaat??? American assets for American interests? What kind of crazy paleo notion is that?
Your not much of a citizen of the world, are you? I bet you don’t even have merely dual citizenship!
I'd like to see America transferring armored vehicles with ANY KIND OF board numbers to the Mexican boarders!
At some point Russia will probably move to retake all of Ukraine. It is the breadbasket of Eurasia. The numbers are off the tanks in order to claim that they are of local Dissident-Ukrainian origin when they go into action.
I'll take Door #2, Monty
If they cross the Dneiper River, that would mean that they intend to take all of Eastern Europe - From Ukraine to Finland. They have bulked up their standing forces along the borders of eastern Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic States and Finland. In other words, the lands that they occupied until they were defeated by the Germans in the early part of World War II. So far, they are dug in on the western border, facing NATO opposition and have not indicated a move to invade. Perhaps the news of this story is that they are preparing an Spring Offensive. It would not be the first time.

“Why is “boarder” now the normal spelling for BORDER in headlines and among Freepers?”
Because English is no longer taught in America? I am a high school graduate, class of ‘62, I am probably better qualified to teach English than any teacher currently working in my state. That is not to say that I AM qualified, only that they are NOT.
You have me by two years-64. My elementary years were mostly in a Calvert System school for Americans stationed in Istanbul. When I came back I was in High school before the school system caught up with what I had learned through even fourth grade. And that was in the 50s when American schools were supposedly still good.
