Simultaneously 6 unknown civilian switched off electricity supply to First Ukrainian Marines Battalion in Feodosiya and excavated trench in front of Big Landing Ship “Kostyantyn Olshanskiy”.

Today there are a lot of concrete examples which could prove that in Autonomous Republic of Crimea deployed not only Russian Black Sea Fleet military troops. First motorized battalion “East” of the 18^th separate mechanized brigade from village Kalinovske, Chechen Republic is deployed in Dzhankoy city. Troops belonging to 31 separate Air Assault Brigade of the Airborne Troops from Ul’yanovsk and 22 Special Forces Brigade from Krasnodarsk region have been noticed on Crimea Peninsula as well.

Sevastopol, UKR Navy HQ. Locked headquarters of the Ukrainian Navy in Sevastopol remained without water and food (today in the morning Russian invaders rejected access of commercial supplier company to UKR NAVY HQ for food delivery).

In Evpatoria, invaders forced Ukrainian aviators to get anti aircraft mobile military equipment from the warehouses and organize "joint duty" to control the airspace over the Crimea. Ukrainian aviators rejected that.

Russians has started rotation of occupation troops in the Crimea. They are bringing air defense specialties for different type of equipment. As the weapons in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Russian Federation Armed Forces de facto the same (for instance AD complexes "Beech"), the use of spices of Ukrainian military equipment by Russians will not be difficult.

About 60 tanks are relocating from Russia at this moment. Sevastopol and Kerch are preparing to receive heavy armored vehicles. Occupiers are installing tanks off-loading points in Kerch - set concrete slabs.

WHERE ARE THE WEAPONS COME FROM?

Independent inquiry “The New Times”

Silent individuals, appeared on Crimean streets 10 days ago and nicknamed by the media as “delicate men” for their gallantry, do not wear any national insignias and it hasn’t been clear yet who they are and what is their allegiance.

At the press-conference on 04 March 2104, Russian President, V. Putin, stated that: “These men were the members of local militia. And we were not involved in their training”.

However, weapons and equipment, used and possessed by such “militia groups”, in many cases clearly show their national allegiance.

Following the “The New Times” request, military experts, who chose to remain unnamed, have analyzed some pictures taken in Crimea.

The GAZ-2975 “Tigr” (Russian: “Тигр” and English: “Tiger”), manufactured by GAZ, is a Russian 4x4, multipurpose, all-terrain infantry mobility vehicle. Average cost - $60 000. Were primarily provided to the Russian Federation Armed Forces.

Additionally, vehicle number plate shows the Russian military code – 21 (the North-Caucasian Military District).

Another evident fact proving that “delicate men” represent the Russian Federation Armed Forces: “Guard division” (Gvardieskaya divisiya) sign on the “Tigr” armored vehicle door, that Russians apparently forgot to paint over.

Sniper rifle, that at the first look could make a confusion with Yugoslav “Zastava” rifle. However, we see the semi-automatic modification of Dragunov sniper rifle. Gunstock with recoil suppressor and the rifle body prove it to be the latest modification, officially and exclusively supplied to the Russian Federation defense and security agencies.

What is interesting that the “delicate men” hold their weapons “barrel downward” that is more like NATO-standards than in accordance with Russian regulations. As you can see, the man in front points the barrel dawn, and the guy in the back laid his AK at the elbow, what is more typical for American or European armies. Experts consider that probably Russian special forces try to implement modern western techniques and procedures.

The pictures shows modern modification of the AK assault rifle - so called АК 101-105, designed in 1994. One of the most well known and popular modern assault rifles. Up until recently, such rifles have been manufacturing exclusively in the Russian Federation and haven’t been officially provided to Ukraine.

In 2006 Venezuela obtained license to assembly new AKs, so did India and Indonesia later on.

Additionally, despite the absence of rank or other insignias, it is quite easy to recognize an officer at the picture (on the right from other soldiers). He can be identified carrying a pistol PM (Pistolet Makarova) and the walkie-talkie radio.

Another AK 100 series. Men on the right has the Russian made night vision device (ПНВ-93.2). Such devices could be barely seen in maneuver units and formations of the Russian Federation Armed Forces, and primarily used by the special operations units.

Man on the far left holds 7,62 mm company machine gun PK (Pulemet Kalashnikova, weight 7,5 kg., designed in 1969). Besides, looking at the modern type gun stock, we can assume to see the modern modification of the PK machine gun, being actively used by the Russian Federation militaries.

At the same time, we can’t assume this model to be unique or exclusive to the Russia Federation.

Here you can see the Russian made magazine fed GM-94 grenade launcher. Which is a relatively recent development of famous Rusian KBP design bureau, located in the city of Tula. It is designed primarily for various special operation (Spetsnaz) elements of Russian army, FSB (Federal Security Service) and MVD (Internal Affairs Ministry).
