What many of you have no information about is thus. In the event of a 'nato' attack on SSSR, the initial advances would have started from west Ukraine bordering EU. However, the counterattack would have been from the DNR/LNR regions. Soviet units would have been transported to the west border of Russia Proper with Donbas. In Donbas were vast storages of every imaginable scrap of equipment for the counterattack, from the latest MBT's down to medical supplies and everything in between.
The problem was, and is, that no one person or bureaucracy knew what was in those storages, many underground, in any real detail. It was these vast storages that initially armed the fledgling units of the local defense units and carried the fight to the Ukes. Because of this lack of knowledge in clinical detail of what was in these storage lagers this does lead to some reasonable 'poetic license' to modify any vehicle that would have been in them, and I'll qualify that with 'within reason'.
On local news, Sevastopol and Krimea are to all intents and purposes closed. No trucks allowed in from any border area. Roving DPS patrols are stopping trucks all across the peninsula for document checks of both vehicles and occupants and are now including POV's. Least problem and you're out, period.
Our summer 'guests' have been quietly advised to leave, ergo TPTB have some info we ordinary workers and peasants don't have. 'Guests' would normally up stakes and leave by this weekend coming, school starts on September 01 so plague with children will leave early to prep for school. This also includes the grandparents who babysit for the toddlers. At least those nasty PITA will be gone. They are getting quite insufferable and that is being kind.
Drone attacks again half the night but noting made it past defense anywhere, either the island or this rather large village on the coast. Thank you gifts were promptly dispatched after each flash in the skies.
