On April 6, the National Guard of Russia uncovered several weapons caches in Ukrainian areas captured by the Russian military.
The first weapons cache was found in the city of Snihurivka in Mykolaiv Oblast. The weapons were reportedly sent by the Kiev regime on the hopes of turning the small city into a battlefield against the Russian military. Of course, this didn’t happen. The Russian military captured the city without facing any real resistance.
The seized weapons included several Soviet-made Konkurs and Metis anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) as well as a number of Ukrainian-made RK-2S laser-guided ATGMs for the Stugna-P system.
In Kharkov Oblast, Rosgvardiya found military equipment and weapons of the Armed Forces of Ukrainian in a warehouse disguised as a storage base for agricultural machinery.
“During the reconnaissance and search activities in the Kharkov Region, the special forces of the Russian National Guard uncovered a warehouse of equipment and weapons belonging to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which was carefully disguised as a storage base for agricultural machinery,” the guard’s press service told the TASS news agency.
Rosgvardiya also seized two armored reconnaissance and patrol vehicles. One of the vehicles had an ATGM system and was equipped with 15 missiles.
“In addition, in this warehouse, the Russian special forces discovered a ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft twin-barreled autocannon based on a ZIL vehicle, ten boxes for an anti-aircraft installation with equipped belts, 17 zincs with cartridges of various calibers, and documentation from the Ukrainian army with the coordinates of the intended targets,” the press service concluded.
Rosgvardiya has been working nonstop to secure areas captured by the Russian military in the framework of the ongoing special operation in Ukraine.
According to the most recent briefing by the Ministry of Defense of Russia, Ukraine has so far lost 125 warplanes, 93 helicopters, 408 drones, 227 air-defense systems, 1987 battle tanks and other armed vehicles, 216 rocket launchers, 862 field artillery and mortar guns and 1888 units of special military vehicles.
