In June there were reports that Russian forces had used outdated armored vehicles with several tons of explosives as rolling bombs, the Ministry of Defense in London said on Twitter. The crew probably jumped out of the vehicle after takeoff.
Most Russian cases have been reported around Marjinka near the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk, the Defense Ministry’s daily update said. The British bring the cases together with units from the Russian republic of Chechnya in the North Caucasus.
The Ministry of Defense in London assumes that most of these prepared Russian vehicles are due to anti-tank mines and shelling “almost certainly” exploded before reaching their destination. However, these explosive devices triggered extremely large explosions that would likely have a psychological effect on the defense forces.
