New Unit Moving to Front Lines: Intel

Russia called upon more volunteers a few months ago to help form a new group of fighters for the war in Ukraine. A "lucrative" cash bonus was offered to those who would eventually become the country's 3rd Army Corps. 

Recent intelligence indicates that the Army's Third Corps is advancing through the railways.

In recent days, our volunteers have discovered photos and videos of Russian military equipment being transported by rail. The video shows the entire warehouse of the Buk complex, and the photo shows T-80BV and T-90M tanks, ”the Conflict Intelligence Team (CIT) reported on its Telegram channel.

The 3rd Corps is stationed at Molino, Nizhny Novgorod Region, about four and a half hours east of Moscow.

Intelligence and Railways database reports indicate that trains loaded in Molino and departed on August 22 and 24, bound for the Niklinivka railway station in Russia's Rostov region, near the border with Ukraine's Donetsk region in the east.

"To date, it is impossible to say with certainty where the Russian leadership plans to use the Corps' forces," CIT said. "However, the last point of the levels (Neklinivka station), located in the south of the Rostov region, is closest to the Donetsk and Zaporizhia regions on the front."
