In Izyum, Ukraine captured more modern weapons of Russia, such as T-90 tanks and BTR-82 infantry fighting vehicles and automatic cannon.

Western allies do not send tanks to Ukraine.

According to Colonel Serhiy Cherevatyi from the Eastern Ukrainian combat command, the experience of learning how to operate various weapons systems in relatively short time has helped them easily reuse Russian weapons obtained.

Ukrainian soldiers submitted a bag full of Russian grenades next to the spoils of the Russian army in Donetsk on October 5.

If we learn how to use Panzerhaubitze, Krab and Paladin, then proficiency in Russian systems, which are similar to our weapons, is not a problem, he said.

The winning of the boots also gives us a sense of pride and enhancement of the fighting spirit of everyone, Andriyko, commander of the Carpathian Sich Battalion.
