The international sanctions imposed against the occupying country do not allow to fully maintain and repair of the navigation equipment and diesel equipment of the fleet's warships. To ensure buoyancy on some ships, including cruise missile carriers, instead of the original units were installed units of Chinese-made appliances, which were purchased at an inflated price several times. Now the occupiers, aware of "import substitution", perceive every exit to the sea as a one-way ticket. After all, it could be their last and even lead to an ecological catastrophe in the region.

The command of the Caspian flotilla, fearing inspections and accusations of embezzlement of spare parts for the purchase of funds, ordered to hide the facts of the incompetence of the ship's crew.

Those responsible for the leak are threatened with high treason and up to 15 years in prison.

Sailors of the 106th brigade of surface ships of the Caspian flotilla of the Southern Military District of the Russian Federation, which are part of a naval group involved in the war against Ukraine, refuse to perform combat missions due to the emergency condition of the ships. The occupiers decided to secretly write collective letters to Putin and the Shoigu to reveal all the financial machinations of the command.
