British intelligence outlines poor medical support of Russian military

30 September 2022 11:30

The UK Ministry of Defence has reported that medical provision for Russian combat troops in Ukraine is probably growing worse.

"Some newly mobilised Russian reservists have been ordered to source their own combat first aid supplies, with the advice that female sanitary products are a cost-effective solution," Caliber.Az reports referring to the Intelligence Update published by the UK Ministry of Defence on September 29.

"Medical training and first-aid awareness is likely poor. Some Russian troops have obtained their own modern, Western-style combat tourniquets but have stowed them on their equipment using cable-ties, rather than with the Velcro provided - probably because such equipment is scarce and liable to be pilfered," the report said.

This is almost certain to hamper or render impossible the timely application of tourniquet care in the case of catastrophic bleeding on the battlefield.

The ministry added that "Russian troops’ lack of confidence in sufficient medical provision is almost certainly contributing to a declining state of morale and a lack of willingness to undertake offensive operations in many units in Ukraine".
