Russia has released new video footage showing captured German-made Leopard tanks and US Bradley vehicles in Ukraine being inspected by Russian troops.
Moscow said on Tuesday that it had captured several of each of these armored fighting vehicles in the Zaporizhzhia region.
“Leopard tanks and Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. These are our trophies. Equipment of the Ukrainian armed forces in the Zaporizhzhia region,” the Russian defense ministry said in a statement.
Zaporizhzhia is one of several areas where Kiev forces have been trying to launch an offensive that Russia said has been repelled by its forces.
The video showed “servicemen of the Vostok group inspect enemy tanks and infantry fighting vehicles captured in battle,” the statement said.
The Russian defense ministry added that several of the captured vehicles had working engines, suggesting that the battles they were involved in had been shot and that the Kiev forces had “fled” from their positions.
Earlier this year Berlin started sending advanced Leopard battle tanks to Ukraine, after months of pleas from Kiev for the heavy weapons to bolster its forces against Russia.
In related news on Monday, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius told broadcaster RTL that “we will not be able to replace every tank that is now out of action”.
Pistorius did not confirm whether some of the tanks shown in the video were German-made Leopards. However, he did say that “unfortunately it is the nature of war that weapons are destroyed, that tanks are destroyed and people are killed.”
In the meantime, Russian President Vladimir Putin reaffirmed on Tuesday that the fundamental character of Moscow’s said objectives remained the same despite the large-scale offensive launched by Kiev in four directions.
In a televised meeting with military bloggers on Tuesday, Putin said the objectives of Moscow’s military campaign in Ukraine might evolve with the situation, but that their fundamental character would not change.
Russia launched its special military operation against Ukraine last February as part of its efforts to defend the pro-Russian population in Donbas against persecution by the neo-Nazi Kiev regime.
What a f’king embarrassment for ZATO!!
ROTFLMFAO!!! 😅😅😅😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
Another trophy Russia took a few days ago which didn’t get much coverage was when they took a group of Ukrainians prisoners and they captured some of their new, very small helicopter-like drones. These drones should have been destroyed before Russia could take them, so whether they were deliberately gifted or it was careless oversight isn’t clear.
These ‘copter drones cost about $260,000 each, are about the size of a small garden bird, are too small to give any radar reflection, and are too quiet and too small to be heard by soldiers when forty feet in the air. They relay a lot of visual information back to the operators, no doubt including GPS coordinates, so the Russians gained themselves another very valuable piece of western warfare technology.
Here’s a video of the captured US mini-copter drone the Black Hornet.

‘Russia launched its special military operation against Ukraine last February as part of its efforts to defend the pro-Russian population in Donbas against persecution by the neo-Nazi Kiev regime.’
WHAT is it about that simple statement that the THICKbrits completely fail to understand?
Remember – nothing is true unless the BBC has confirmed it – and the BBC has no less a source than what it refers to as ‘Senior Western Officials’ – it doesn’t actually expand on who those might be, but the Ukrainian troops are merely experiencing a degree of resistance on the road to inevitable victory –
‘This was never going to be without risk,” they [‘Western Senior Officials] said. “What we’re seeing is not unexpected. It’s difficult, and it is going to be challenging for Ukrainians. What we have seen, though, is they’ve continued to push through where they have had losses, and then continued to advance. So overall is going in the right direction.”
Got that? BBC . . Today. .
