According to the Russian Defense Ministry (MoD), their troops have reportedly seized NATO-supplied armored vehicles in the Zaporizhia region. The vehicles were apparently abandoned by retreating Ukrainian soldiers, the report said.
The MoD released footage showing Russian troops inspecting the captured German-made Leopard 2 main battle tank and US-produced Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, which were found to be in relatively good condition, with some still having their engines running. The Russian military has referred to these Western-supplied heavy armored vehicles as “our trophies.”
