Russian Ministry of Defence cannot find 1.5 million winter uniforms. Were somehow "misplaced".




The Russians have “misplaced” 1.5 million winter uniforms that were about to be send to the Russian soldiers in Ukraine.


There are two options:

1. These 1.5 million winter uniforms were sold to the russian MoD for... what... about $300 million? But were never delivered.
Fun Fact: The wife of Defence Minister Shoigu is a former airline-stewardess who became a multi-millionaire by selling military-equipment to the russian military.

2. Somebody stole 1.5 million winter uniforms and sold them on the black market.






I have this feeling that one of Russia's most famous defenders, General Winter, won't be on their side this time.

Thanks.
