Russia Displayed Captured Western Hardware From Ukraine by Mj4199(op): 9:06pm On May 01, 2024
As of yesterday Russian display the magnitude of their strength despite all the support and aids Ukraine are getting from their western allies. On display is Western military hardware captured by the Russian army in Ukraine.

They are war trophies and Russia has decided to flaunt them.

[b]Among
the armour here is a British Army Husky tactical support vehicle which had been donated to Ukraine. Its windscreen is covered in bullet-holes.
[/b]
Opposite the Husky I can see Western tanks that had been transferred to the Ukrainian military. There's an American Abrams which had been damaged on the battlefield. A German Leopard tank, too.

In fact, there's a long line of German armour. And above it a sign: "History is repeating itself."

In bright sunshine Russians are crowding round the military hardware, posing for photographs in front of tank gun barrels and, from the sounds of it, thoroughly enjoying the display.

"It's incredible. Jaw-dropping," says Natalya, who's here with her husband and small daughter.

"It's amazing to think that our guys managed to get these trophies."

More than 30 armoured vehicles have been put on display.

Very funny...

So now war victory is determined by hardware captured and not cities conquered. Nice one! It's a great medal award for the war.

Ukraine wanted to fight "high-tech" war with NATO weapons, Russia responded with crude but punishing "Artillery" war.

Re: Russia Displayed Captured Western Hardware From Ukraine by Lexusgs430: 10:58pm On May 01, 2024
Putin claimed the military exercise would be over in a few days .......

So capturing western assets and putting them on display, is simply to send a signal to the gullible......

What about all Russian military assets destroyed on the battlefield.......😭😜
Re: Russia Displayed Captured Western Hardware From Ukraine by dangermouse(m):
All in a bid to save face.

Ukraine has withstood Russia for almost 2years now and still standing.

All hail Ukraine the real heroes!

Russia suppose don calm down for this Ukraine matter. At least be the bigger person or sth
Re: Russia Displayed Captured Western Hardware From Ukraine by alizma:
Is this a way to display how shameless Putin is or what? Please what is the difference between Russia buying hardware from other countries to fight Ukraine and Ukraine getting hardware from US to fight Russia? We have seen videos and pictures of Russian hardwares that were destroyed or seized by Ukrainians now it gets to Russians turn and Putin has to get the hardwares to the city centre and call the citizens to come and celebrate.
Well if Putin is celebrating seized hardwares in the middle of war, that shows how tough Ukrainian soldiers have proven themselves before Russia soldiers.
Kudos to the Ukrainian soldiers who have made it a thing of celebration for a nation like Russia each time a tank is seize in a war front. Probably we should expect a public holiday when a fighter jet is captured.

See how happy they're capturing an ordinary TANK🤣.
On capturing any United States armory, the U.S. moves to declare such outdated. Don't they know?🤣

Small UKRAINE with small land mass, you can't overrun in almost 3 years now, are you normal?.🤔🤔
But ISRAEL overrunning almost the entire middleeast...

Let me not assume Russia went to Ukrainian scrap yards to gather these junks...
Of course in the course of war machineries are bound to become unusable and abandoned.
I mean take a look at the scrabs bullet holes, burnt chasses.
