In recent weeks, several videos have been circulating on social media platforms showing Russians transporting Western equipment seized in Ukraine. It is not new that the Russians want to show off their successes on the battlefield to the public, it is no coincidence that an exhibition of the acquired armored vehicles and other combat equipment was opened in Moscow. Now, however, they began to unload the many different spoils onto one of the squares. The timing is not accidental at all, as May 9, i.e. Victory Day in Russia, is approaching.
It is expected that the acquired Western equipment will be paraded in the military parade to be held at that time.
It should be noted that not only the newly acquired devices are on display, but also a German Marder 2 from the Second World War, for example. Since the beginning of the war, the Russians have acquired almost all kinds of equipment, which are then presumably transported to the various plants to be studied down to the last screw. After that, similar weapons can be presented to the public. Earlier, a German-made Leopard 2A6 tank was seen being delivered in Russia.
