Blessed and Understanding: Butusov on a striking on a landfill and about 168 of the Armed Forces Reserve Battalion
It was difficult for commanders to cope with such a lot of people. In case of threat to air alarm, they did not respond, but they continued to do their own business. Yuriy Butusov told about the circumstances of the tragedy that happened on March 1 and how to avoid repetition, a military journalist, the editor -in -chief of Censor. NET on the Facebook page. Butusov explained that the enemy kissed the landfill, at which a large number of people were 140-150 km from the front line.
It is a 168 brigade that had a stable team staff and ordinary fighters who changed. People expected to be transferred from different parts, lived in tents, and no armor was equipped. Nearby - parking with a large number of cars, as the military is constantly arrived and leave. The landfill regularly glowed as representatives of other parts to choose the candidate had to see him first. Some spent several days in the tents, someone lived for several months, the journalist said.
Among the fighters was a certain number of undisciplined and unmotivated. In such circumstances, in his opinion, the commanders could not monitor the order. "There are no constant raids for checking illegal alcohol, sometimes even fights, constant hiking in the nearest settlements. There is no military justice in Ukraine, so the whole discipline and order in the crowd controls a small number of team staff, which is not enough for such circumstances," he said.
Another question that arose about the events on the landfill is the enemy drone that could cite the "Iskander-M" of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Butusov explained that the drone had tried to knock down, but did not cope. The air command "East" was protected from the air. However, the fighters did not respond to anxiety, because due to the proximity of the front, they were accustomed to the fact that something is constantly flying over their head.
Due to the current situation, 39 people were killed, 90 were injured, the journalist wrote. He also reported what measures the command was taken - "The battalion commander was filmed". "There should be questions for anyone who managed and controlled the organization of the 168th Reserve Battalion, OK East, the Land Forces Command, the East PC, the Air Force Command," Butusov said.
The post lists five actions that will protect from such tragedies in the future: there is no reaction of the Armed Forces General Staff at the suggestion of Butusov. It should be noted that the People's Deputy Marian Bezugla reported about the tragedy at the Dnipropetrovsk region. She told about the hit of a Russian rocket on a landfill near the settlement of Cherkasy.
