Price: 2 500 BYN ($998)
Previous owner: Department of engineering troops of the Ministry of Defense of Belarus
Wear: 50%
Yes, in addition to various spoons and trucks, the Ministry of Defense of Belarus also sells real industrial explosives, which are designed to carry out blasting operations in the soil, destroying wooden, metal and reinforced concrete constructions.
As we can see, most of the equipment for sale is in poor condition. The wear of most of the lots is over 80%, and various military trucks were produced not even in the 90’s, but in the early- mid 80’s. Most of the vehicles have visible corrosion, and knowing how the equipment is used in the army of the Belarusian Armed Forces, then even $2,000 asked for some of the vehicles is a lot of money. However, it is possible that even these vehicles may at some point be interesting for Russia. Of course, after they pull everything out of the Belarusian storages, which is what they are doing now.
