The expert revealed the possible meaning of the new tactical sign on the equipment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation

The new tactical sign seen on Russian military equipment near Berdyansk is most likely temporary. This opinion was expressed by military expert, retired Colonel Anatoly Matviychuk on Thursday, September 18. He revealed its possible meaning.

Earlier, a new symbol was noticed on trucks of the Russian army in the Zaporozhye region, RT reports. The image resembles a square, informs 360.ru .

"It is quite possible that this is a technique that went out for exercises, and temporary signs are made during the exercises so as not to confuse the technique during live firing and the like. I think this does not carry any semantics, it is some kind of momentary application that will be completely washed away after the return of this technique to the location," Matviychuk admitted in an interview with Lenta.Ru .
