Mobile crematoria can follow Russian troops in Ukraine to hide real losses
Russian troops may be followed into Ukraine by mobile crematoria to hide military casualties. British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace described the move as "frightening". Writes about it Metro.
The disturbing footage, originally released back in 2013, shows a vehicle-mounted incinerator built specifically to destroy biological waste.
Wallace suggested that equipment capable of "vaporizing" the human body could be a way for the Kremlin to cover up the true death toll and avoid the kind of criticism that was raised when Russia first invaded Ukraine in 2014.
Speaking Feb. 23 ahead of Vladimir Putin's decision to go ahead with another invasion, Wallace said that if Russia provokes any kind of conflict, "you can expect to see some of what they've done before. Previously, they had already deployed mobile crematoria that followed troops around the battlefield, which, in anyone's opinion, is frightening.

“If I were a soldier and knew that my generals had so little faith in me, that there were mobile crematoriums following me across the battlefield, I would be very, very worried,” Ben Wallace said. “It shows how the Russians treat their troops and tells you everything you need to know about the Russian regime.”
Earlier, he suggested that Putin went "to the fullest" and made a mistake by not having allies in his actions.
Wallace, a former officer in the Scots Guards, compared the Russian president to Tsar Nicholas I during the Crimean War.
He said there were 1000 people in the UK ready to respond to the crisis, adding: "The Scottish Guards kicked Czar Nicholas I in the ass in 1853 in the Crimea - we can always do it again."
He continued: "Putin made the same mistake as Tsar Nicholas I. He has neither friends nor allies."

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that the actions of the Russian leader "illogical and irrational."
Former NATO Secretary General and former Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen also suggested that Putin might be out of his mind.
“I mean, Russia’s behavior now, it’s not rational, it’s not logical, so I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that Putin has gone crazy,” the former Danish prime minister said. “And we've recently seen him actually humiliate his advisers, so I don't think we're faced with a man who's a rational thinker.”
Wallace also told reporters that he keeps the possibility of sending additional weapons to Ukraine "under constant control", adding: "We are in a pretty good position to get any kind of help to Ukraine quickly."
