Spartan armoured personnel carriers purchased in England like many other foreign weapons, Ukraine Russia News Cam Footage


Civilian truck is secretly transporting UK Spartan APCs to Ukraine.
upplying weapons to Ukraine is a challenge. Both for Ukraine and for the countries that agreed to supply their weapons platforms. In wartime, when satellites are constantly monitoring, keeping a delivery secret is an extremely important and strategic decision. Russian intelligence satellites constantly monitor what is happening around the Ukrainian road infrastructure. Ukraine cannot afford to put on display the route of the arriving transport equipment. Very often the night is used as cover. But if the situation calls for immediate delivery, a solution must be found during the day to ensure the smooth arrival of the cargo at its final destination. This is exactly what Ukrainian soldiers recorded on video – the delivery of a heavily armored platform with a civilian truck. It is about the delivery of a British armored sportsman Spartan. Loaded in a civilian truck, Spartan entered Ukraine from a neighboring country and moved smoothly along the civilian road infrastructure. Under the guise of ordinary, everyday, and customary delivery, Spartan successfully arrives at his final destination. The truck recorded in the video is a tractor-trailer type. Attached to it is a trailer that, according to the perspective of the video report, can hold not one, but two Spartan APCs. This is exactly what is seen in the video footage. At the end of the video, after the first Spartan is loaded onto a lift platform, the camera shifts focus to show the core of the trailer. A second British Spartan is seen inside. The video was shared on social networks. According to the tweeter who shared the video, such a practice is common in Ukraine. In this way, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense hides from “Russian eyes” the resistance platforms arriving from the west.

Latest Defence Intelligence update on the situation in Ukraine - 08 March 2023
There is a realistic possibility that this was partially in response to recent footage of the owner of Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, visiting his fighters on the front line.
Wagner is in a high-profile dispute with the Russian Ministry of Defence and Shoigu is likely sensitive to being compared to Prigozhin. The only deployed Russian field commander shown in the video was Colonel General Rustam Muradov. It is notable that Muradov is responsible for the Vuhledar sector of Donetsk Oblast, where several assaults have failed in the last three months. Until recently, the Russian command likely saw a breakthrough at Vuhledar as a key way to achieve an operationally significant breakthrough in Ukraine’s lines. Russian planners are likely facing the dilemma of attempting another Vuhledar assault or supporting intense fighting further north near Bakhmut and Kremina.
