1/ Wealthy Russian organisations are donating large quantities of decades-old Soviet-era first aid kits to the front line. The kits' crumbling bandages and fragile tourniquets are proving useless in the field, costing the lives of an unknown number of wounded Russian soldiers. ⬇️

2/ Throughout the Ukraine war, Russian troops have faced constant shortages of medical supplies, with many being given first aid kits manufactured as long ago as the 1950s (as seen in the photo above). Many have bled to death due to tourniquets that snap when used.

3/ The 'Tactical Medical Courses' Telegram channel highlights the delivery of a batch of Soviet first aid kits manufactured in 1977, decades after their expiration date and made to a standard far inferior to modern medical kits. It implies that it's part of a scam on the public.

4/ "Let's really get this straight, without pretence or sweet fairy tales. Stop trying to convince me that these pitiful remnants of humanitarian aid were collected by a lonely grandmother, using up her modest pension. It's ridiculous and insulting.

5/ "We're talking about systematic, mass deliveries, carried out by organisations with big names and substantial funding, which then pompously report on their "titanic" work at the front.

6/ "We see these boxes, we open them. And behind each box of obsolete, useless junk, there's not a retired grandmother, but a person ticking off a report. This isn't help; it's mockery disguised as good intentions.

7/ "It's a slap in the face to those who stare death in the eye every day. And stop, I implore you, singing the praises of Soviet components. This nostalgia for Soviet-era cotton wool and gauze is life-threatening.

8/ "Is it really so hard to understand that medicine, like war, never stands still? Before pompously declaring the "incomparable quality" of Soviet bandages, go to any marketplace and buy a bandage from a reputable modern manufacturer, like Mitsar.

9/ "Feel the difference, appreciate the texture. War is not a museum; it is the cutting edge of progress, where the price of error is human life.

10/ "While you're reminiscing, the enemy is using the most modern weapons, and we must counter them with today's technologies, not yesterday's.

11/ "Tactical medicine isn't about cotton wool and bandages that fall apart in your hands. It's about speed, efficiency, and results. Look how the battlefield has changed in recent years!

12/ "No one could have imagined that a multi-million-dollar tank could be destroyed by a kamikaze drone for pennies. Progress is inexorable. It dictates new rules and demands new solutions. And what do we see in the first-aid kits? Remnants of the last century.

13/ "Where are the modern Israeli dressings capable of stopping bleeding? Where are the new-generation hemostatic agents that don't blaze like primitive zeolite on the wound?

14/ "Where are the proper occlusive dressings for penetrating chest wounds, not those sticky pieces of crap that fall off at the first movement?

15/ "The list goes on and on. While we argue about the quality of Soviet cotton wool, soldiers continue to bleed because they weren't provided with basic, yet modern, life-saving equipment in a timely manner.

16/ "The imperative is not to save lives, but to adequately provide for those defending the country. It's time to end this circus of reporting and finally start providing genuine assistance, not just pretending to be doing something.

17/ "Every second of delay is paid for in blood. And sooner or later, someone will have to answer for this bloodshed." /end Source: https://t.me/tacticalmedicinec...

@ChrisO_wiki @JayinKyiv Russia is turning “aid for the front” into a one-way ticket to the afterlife. With medical supplies like that, you don’t even have to touch the enemy.

@ChrisO_wiki It’s from the time when russia still had the second best army in the world.

@ChrisO_wiki they are not supposed to win as they will have to start a new war..this is meant to last..also putin gets rid of men who could protest in the future..now he keeps them busy in Ukraine so that no problem back home..

@ChrisO_wiki It's somehow gotten even worse https://x.com/christogrozev/st...

@ChrisO_wiki Everything in russia is shit except piss and even the shit has expired.

@ChrisO_wiki God bless those organisations!
