Cemetery of military equipment - causes and effects

Today on the territory of the country you can find many abandoned military units, command posts, entire cemeteries of military equipment. In Russia, as the main heir to the imperial past, such places testifying to the former greatness, alas, are numerous.

Reasons why vehicles were abandoned

After the death of the USSR, overseas partners made a lot of efforts so that the once mighty army turned into a gathering of people who no one cares about, and numerous equipment became unnecessary scrap metal.

Sharp cuts in funding have led to entire military units being disbanded. Military settlements have turned into abandoned exclusion zones, and obsolete equipment has turned into rubbish as useless.

Besides this, the notorious sloppiness also takes place. Some military transport on paperis under conservation and, if necessary, can be commissioned by order. However, not everyone will be able to stand in this system. Then they will immediately find those responsible - those who were supposed to check the condition and availability of equipment. Then you will not envy them, but it will not be easier for anyone.

And someone could come in handy

There are also a large number of obsolete and unnecessary equipment on the territory of the active units. Why it is not written off and disposed of in a timely manner is not entirely clear. This looks especially strange when today the state has every ruble in the account.

After all, equipment could not only be cut into scrap metal. Many residents would not give up on former military trucks and all-terrain vehicles, giving them a second, peaceful life.

On our roads you can still find such dilapidated specimens, in comparison with which the cars in the cemetery of military equipment look like brand new.

Nationwide

If you calculate what will be the benefit if all this scrap metal that no one needs is used, then the amount will be very significant even for our state. Why does no one want to raise public money, easily lying underfoot? Nobody wants to bend over or afraid to take responsibility?

Perhaps we, ordinary people, do not understand strategic plans. Perhaps all this rusty and unnecessary army is very necessary to mislead a hypothetical military enemy filming ourterritory from spy satellites in order to identify strike groups of our army. Such a reason logically explains the situation to everyone who is very worried about the well-being of the Motherland. But such a purpose seems dubious. Most likely, we are dealing with ordinary negligence and sloppiness.

Reports from the scene

Most recently, mushroom pickers discovered a cemetery of military equipment in the suburbs. Dozens of pieces of equipment were abandoned right in the middle of the forest.

From the equipment that is located there, it can be assumed that this is a real mobile air defense group. Who and when forgot it in the forest and for what reason is a rhetorical question. The fact that it is forgotten can be understood from photographs taken by curious mushroom pickers.

In fact, most likely, the equipment is located next to an abandoned military air defense unit, which is morally obsolete and was abandoned by the military. But there must be security. Perhaps the adventurers were just lucky that they missed the patrol service. This is not the only cemetery of military equipment. People shamelessly post the coordinates of many such places for free access.

Such objects, due to their archaism, cannot be of interest to the special services of foreign states. But scrap metal hunters will be happy with such a find. Devices that are in abandoned equipment contain a huge amount of precious metals. Knowledgeable peoplethey can "pick out" recyclable materials worth tens of thousands of dollars from all this iron.

Monument to human stupidity

The cemetery of military equipment is actually a memorial to our real attitude towards the Motherland. Here the most sincere patriotism is shattered against granite monumental negligence. No one knows how many such deposits are in the vastness of our vast land.

Behind all these means abandoned to the mercy of fate lies the hard and selfless work of many Soviet people. These are many millions of funds that could have been used differently, for the specific improvement of the inhabitants of our country. And so it's just a cemetery of military equipment, silently and reproachfully looking at the economic figures of today's Russia.

It is known that in no other country has it been possible to achieve such breadth and scope in spitting. The Chinese or Japanese would build a separate line of industry to process such deposits of raw materials that do not need to be mined.

But not us. Our man, with his scope and broad soul, will not even pay attention to such trifles. Too bad.
