A Russian army commander has been arrested in connection with the alleged theft of engines meant for advanced T-90 battle tanks.

Investigators accuse Colonel Alexander Denisov of stealing seven tank engines valuing roughly 20.5 million rubles, around $260,000, between November 2021 to April 2022, the Russian newspaper Kommersant reported.

The V-92C2 engines were intended to be installed in T-90 tanks, investigators said.

Denisov, who was the head of the technical support department of the Southern Military District, was arrested last month.

When the USSR collapsed, the facade of a classless society with a modicum of social service for the masses, was replaced by a free-for-all foundation of 'snatch and grab' mob rule.
And thus was reborn a new nobility within an impoverished people, a ruling class of thieves.

2. The good news for Col. Denisov is that he wasn't charged with stealing nuclear warheads.

Everybody in Russia knows you have to be a General to do that.
