Russia's 'Mobile Crematoriums' Reportedly Deployed In Ukraine To Hide Losses
Incinerators work with high temperatures to burn material to the point of combustion. All organic elements are combusted in this process - usually used for waste disposal
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has fuelled fears of unprecedented loss of life, as is typical of all wars. Multiple reports now claim that Russia has deployed mobile crematoriums to follow troops that have been sent to Ukraine.
United Kingdom's Secretary of State for Defence, Ben Wallace recalled how mobile furnaces first seen in 2013 were intended to destroy biological waste. Now, Wallace has suggested that the Kremlin could use the same machine to "evaporate" soldiers.

What is Russia's goal, you wonder? Quite simply, to hide the true number of fatalities. After Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the "special military operation" in Ukraine, Wallace said that he intends to see Russia's old tactics used in conflict.

A reflection of Russian regime?
Calling it a reflection of the Russian regime, Wallace added that the incinerator is way to "evaporate soldiers if they are killed in battle... a very chilling side effect of how the Russians view their forces."
Incinerators work with high temperatures to burn material to the point of combustion. All organic elements are combusted in this process - usually used for waste disposal. It would essentially get rid of any proof of human loss if deployed by Russia.
