The Russian invaders seem to be experiencing a serious shortage of weapons, with their dictator Vladimir Putin scraping around wherever he can. Even Russia's Mosfilm was forced to hand over armored vehicles to the invaders at the front, which were stored in its warehouses as props. The film studio supplied the Russian army with tanks, armored personnel carriers and self-propelled guns dating back to the 1950s for the war in Ukraine.

This statement was made by Mosfilm CEO Karen Shakhnazarov during a meeting with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin. This was reported by the ASTRA Telegram channel.

Shakhnazarov boasted to Putin that this year Mosfilm provided charitable assistance in the amount of six million rubles "for the needs of the SVO". And last year, he sent fifty pieces of military equipment to the occupiers.

He detailed that in 2023, the film company handed over 28 T-55 medium tanks and 8 PT-76 light floating tanks, six armored personnel carriers and eight tractors to the Russian armed forces, which were stored at Mosfilm's "military-technical" base.

This equipment was used as a prop for filming movies and as entertainment for tourists. It was stored at a film studio in the town of Krasnoznamensk near Moscow.

"I found out that there were needs, contacted the Ministry of Defense, and they took these cars," the studio's CEO reported to the dictator.

To this, the leader of Russian terrorists Putin responded: "We are proud of Mosfilm.

By the way, the film studio's website states in the section "Military Equipment" that Mosfilm has more than 190 armored vehicles, including armored personnel carriers and self-propelled vehicles, which were "disguised" as various models of foreign military equipment from different periods. And there are allegedly even dozens of foreign-made military weapons.

So there are still canned goods for the occupiers in the "neighborhood".

It is worth noting that the Russian Ministry of Defense has been actively deconsolidating old stocks of military equipment since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. And now, apparently, the turn has come to the props.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, Russia has stepped up the purchase of Soviet weapons and equipment around the world. This indicates the depletion of Russian stocks of the USSR era in warehouses and storage centers, as well as the deterioration of the quality of what remains.
