Occupants in Sevastopol dismantled written-off cars to restore equipment

In occupied Crimea, the occupiers are dismantling decommissioned military vehicles to repair military equipment. Dozens of trucks and dual-purpose vehicles have been transported from military depots to auto repair bases.

This was reported by the Atesh resistance movement.

According to their data, dozens of old trucks and dual-purpose vehicles were taken from a military unit in the Gagarin district. Satellite images confirmed that these vehicles are being delivered to auto repair bases.

There, they are used as "donors" of spare parts to restore military equipment damaged at the front, which is then used on the southern front of Ukraine, including fire trucks based on ZIL-131.

According to them, the occupiers are dismantling old cars in Sevastopol to compensate for the loss of equipment. The guerrillas noted that this indicates serious problems with components for the vehicles of the Russian armed forces in the southern direction.

An analysis of satellite images showed that since the beginning of April 2025, dozens of decommissioned military trucks for various purposes, including fire trucks based on ZIL-131, have been towed from the parking lot. All the information collected about the repair base was passed on to the Ukrainian Defense Forces for prompt action.

Also on the morning of October 29, explosions were heard in the occupied Crimea. The oil depot in the village of Hvardiyske was again damaged, a facility that has not yet been restored after the attack on October 17, when at least five fuel tanks were burned. There were also reports of a possible attack on the Simferopol CHP plant in the village of Gresovsky.

On October 26, the ATESH resistance movement reported a sabotage of the railway infrastructure near Armyansk in occupied Crimea. Targeted interference with relay equipment led to the stoppage of trains supplying Russian troops, and the guerrillas conducted the operation during the peak period of occupiers' transportation. The operation slowed down the supply of ammunition and logistics to Russian army units in the Kherson sector.
