1/ Russia military policemen are engaged in another crackdown on privately owned vehicles operated by soldiers. Unfortunately for the soldiers, this is reported to be effectively lining them up for Ukrainian drone strikes. ⬇️ 
2/ The Military Automobile Inspectorate (VAI) and Military Police (VP) have made themselves hugely unpopular among Russian soldiers for their attempts to stop Russian soldiers using privately owned vehicles.
3/ According to Russian warbloggers, between 70-90% of vehicles used by the army in frontline areas are privately owned by soldiers, either purchased with their own money or provided as 'humanitarian aid' through donations from civilians and fundraisers.
4/ Many Russian soldiers have avoided registering their vehicles with the army and replacing their white (civilian) number plates with black (military) ones. This is often because corrupt commanders will seize their vehicles and resell them for personal profit.
5/ However, senior Russian commanders have been trying to deter privately owned vehicles through repeated and increasingly draconian crackdowns, including sending drivers to die in so-called 'meat wave' attacks.

"In my opinion, we're currently fighting more with the Military Automobile Inspectorate and the Military Police than with the Ukrainians."

7/ "On the Avdiivka Highway, the Ukrainians are firing attack drones at passing cars, causing casualties, while these feathered creatures [i.e. the police] stand by and don't give a damn, stopping cars, creating traffic jams,…
8/ …searching for soldiers in civilian cars with "white" licence plates to send them on "meat" assaults with another unit.
What they're doing now, under orders from the Southern Military District command, is undermining combat capability and effectively working for the enemy.

9/ "And what's surprising is that the Ukrainians aren't targeting the Military Automobile Inspectorate... why would they, if the Police Guard and the Military Automobile Inspectorate are now practically on par with the murderers of our soldiers?" /end
