Military designer says he faces threats of transfer to attack aircraft
Front-line designer Poryadin said that he received threats to switch to attack aircraft.
Frontline military designer Ivan Poryadin, nicknamed Mechanic, said that the unit's command threatened to beat him up and transfer him to the stormtroopers. He spoke about this on his Telegram channel.
"The battalion commander's words were: 'We will beat you with sticks, bruise you, kill you, put you in an infantry fighting vehicle, weld the hatch shut and send you to storm Kurakhovo.' The attitude of the command was not very adequate. You will agree,' said Poryadin.
The mechanic added that his men died on the battlefield after being transferred from the inventors' brigade to another unit. Now the designer himself has been transferred to the 102nd regiment and has received threats from officers.
In early September, SVO volunteers with the call signs Goodwin and Ernest accused the regiment commander of abuse of power. They noted this in a video published after the assault, which was the last for both fighters. The incident became widely known, and Defense Minister Andrei Belousov personally ordered an investigation into the incident. Later, military correspondent Alexander Kots reported personnel changes in the unit. At the same time, he noted that Goodwin and Ernest's accusations against the regiment commander were not confirmed.
