Russia’s army has been exposed as it faces being bogged down and devastated by the Ukrainian defenders – with the country now besieged with corpses and the wrecks of Putin’s vehicles.

Kremlin soldiers have allegedly been left under-equipped, under-resourced, facing starvation, and even suffering from their vehicles running out of fuel.

And photos and videos show some of the runoff-the-shelf gear which Russian troops are being forced to use to make ends meet.

Footage shows a soldier pulling to pieces a Russian military surveillance drone that crashed in Ukraine, only to find that the drone is not as progressive as one might expect.

The clip, released by Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, shows that the drone uses a Canon camera that is straddling a board with duct tape.

And the mode dial of the camera has been sealed with glue- not the exactly high-tech tech military equipment Russia boasts to have.

The camera used in the drone is a Canon EOS Rebel 6i, a £200-£300 DSLR camera launched in 2015.

And elsewhere in the clip, it shows the drone is jerry-rigged with a plastic bottle to use as a fuel tank.

Additionally, a report by Belarusian TV channel VoenTV appears to have accidentally revealed that Russian drones are controlled by cheap Logitech gamepads.

The report was about “how the Russian air defense systems S-300 and UAV ‘Orlan-10’, which ‘protect the Belarusian sky’, work”.

The report showed that the drone Orlan-10 used a Logitech Gamepad F310, which was released in 2010, and a regular Canon camera.

The power button was again wrapped with glue.

The vigilante hacker group Anonymous also noted the drone uses outdated Windows Vista- which was released back in 2007.

Pictures also show Russian soldiers seeming to be using commercially available, unencrypted walkie-talkies.

Meanwhile, it is believed that Russian warplanes use commercial GPS receivers during their operations, reports the Defense blog.

Soviet Air Force veteran Viktor Alksnis shared images on social media of the Su-34 Fullback fighter-bomber during a combat operation in Syria, noting a commercial GPS receiver secured with a clamp in the cockpit.

He said that Russians used the US manufactured receiver to duplicate the onboard navigation systems, which reportedly often malfunctioned.

And all this raises serious questions about the military might which Putin always boasts as one of the greatest in the world.
