Russian "warriors" threw hysteria about the events in Kurshchyna

It is about broken military equipment of the Russian Federation 8 km from Rylsk in the village of Oktyabrske, Kursk region.

Presumably, these were reserves that the Russian authorities directed to the border villages. At the moment, it is not known exactly what hit the convoy with equipment, Ukrainian analysts assume.

Videos and photos of the destroyed column of Russian equipment began to spread on the Internet. Burnt military equipment was visible on them, as well as damaged awning trucks with dead servicemen.

Russian "military" "Fishermen", "Two Majors" and "Zhyvov Z" created hysteria. They blame their fellow propagandists for the fact that the column was destroyed. They believe that video recordings, on which it is possible to establish the time and place of movement of the convoy, help to "inform" the Armed Forces.
