Ukrainian partisans from the Atesh movement showed a dump of outdated military equipment. Many vehicles have long been out of order and stand in the open field without security, the partisan movement Atesh reports.

The partisans identified the dump as a military-technical parking site of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in Crimea.

“What we saw there is shocking: almost all the equipment is outdated, immobile, and abandoned. This clearly shows that the Russian fleet suffers from a shortage of spare parts, problems with repairs and supplies, and its operational mobility and combat readiness are at a critically low level,” the Atesh statement says.

The fleet is trying to preserve at least some capabilities by using old equipment as a reserve, but this only demonstrates the complete exhaustion of resources and the weakness of the enemy’s military machine.

Earlier, agents of the Atesh movement carried out an operation on a railway line in Russia’s Kostroma, destroying a relay cabinet. It is used for transporting fuel, military equipment, and components to military factories in the central regions of Russia. The destruction of the traffic control system causes schedule disruptions and supply delays. This undermines the stability of the entire logistics network of the Russian army.

Partisans of the Atesh movement also carried out sabotage on the railway line between Safonovo and Novooleksiivka in the temporarily occupied part of the Kherson region. This route is key for the logistics of Russian troops on the Zaporizhzhia front.

On the night of August 24, Atesh partisans also destroyed a transformer cabinet on a railway line near Cherkessk in the Karachay-Cherkessia Republic. This route is used to transport military cargo and supply Russian military units and the National Guard in the region.
