Each cartridge contained 1.5 grams of TNT. This amount of explosive is enough for the explosion to injure a soldier’s leg and knock him out of combat, Militarnyj writes.
The Ukrainian secret service managed to build a supply network with the help of “Russian volunteers” and a charitable foundation. The first deliveries took place at the beginning of March and were in the order of tens of thousands of pieces.
However, the plan of the Ukrainian secret service failed. It was revealed due to the carelessness and careless steps of one of the participants. Russia’s FSB secret service said it detained a foreigner born in 1994 who was acting on the instructions of a Ukrainian official. Immediately, one of the shipments with 502 shoe insoles, which were transported from Poland via Belarus, was discovered.

Delivery of insoles that the Russian secret service revealed.
“According to our information, the previous shipments of insoles fulfilled their purpose. FSB agents discovered this shipment only after they began to monitor the supply chain. Of course, these few hundred exposed insoles are only a fraction of our gifts,” a source from the Ukrainian secret service told the Militarny portal.
Delivery of heated insoles for shoes is not the first event of Kyiv. The Ukrainian military intelligence HUR has previously claimed explosive FPV glasses for drone operators, which were delivered to Russian troops as humanitarian aid.
