Three tanks headed to Ukraine stopped in Salerno. The Highway Police stopped the vehicles
Three Pzh 2000 tanks headed to Ukraine, and coming from the military base of Persano (Salerno), were stopped by the Naples Highway Police at the Mercato San Severino toll booth on the Salerno-Caserta motorway because the tractors and semi-trailers of the private companies responsible for their transport did not have registration documents and the required periodic inspection had expired.
Furthermore, one of the drivers did not have the authorization to drive exceptional means of transport.
This is what the newspaper Il Mattino reports in today's edition. The three war vehicles were sent back to the Persano base waiting to be transported back on vehicles in order with the papers: they were part of a convoy of five tanks headed towards the site of the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
The other two vehicles, which passed the controls, continued their journey towards Bologna from where they will then, through Germany, arrive in Ukraine. The episode dates back to the night between Sunday and Monday last.
