About it reported in the TSN story.
The paratroopers, who lost many of their brothers in the Donetsk airport terminal, call this requirement fundamental.
At their base, the fighters set up a kind of memorial in memory of those who did not return from the last battle for the airfield. They say about such people that they are “forever in service.”
The paratroopers say that they fought for a whole year using old equipment. And even at critical moments of the confrontation there was not enough of it, because more fighters could have been saved. We never received new equipment.
“Where it went, I don’t know. Maybe to the National Guard or some special forces. Our battalion is Donetsk airport, Opytnoe, Vodyanoye. We haven't seen any new technology. We fought, we didn't complain. The one that was available was used and supported,” said one of the soldiers of the 90th battalion.
The soldiers dream that at least their replacements will fight with normal equipment, and not with Soviet scrap metal. And also - for the state to fulfill the obligations that it has assumed. In particular, regarding remuneration to the military for destroyed enemy equipment.
