Details of Some British Armored Cars Captured
A Saxon armoured personnel carrier, which was part of a consignment donated to Ukraine in 2015, was pictured alongside a German Leopard tank in Moscow‘s Victory Park.
The open-air museum, which signifies Germany’s defeat in the World War II, has been transformed into a glorification of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Described as a celebration of Russia’s success ‘against Ukrainian militants and their Western supporters’, the captured vehicles were displayed beneath red banners reading ‘Our victory is inevitable’.
Tanks and Weapons That Will Be on Display
The month-long exhibit will also feature an American Bradley tank, a Swedish CV90 and a French-made AMX-10RC armoured fighting vehicle.
Weapons and tanks from nine other countries including Turkey, Sweden, Czechoslovakia, South Africa, Finland, Australia and Austria are also set to feature in the show, along with Ukrainian combat documents and ‘ideological literature’.
When Is the Exhibition?
The exhibition will be opened to visitors on May 1, and it will run alongside Moscow’s Red Square Victory Day Parade on May 9 in commemoration of Russia’s victory against the Nazis.
Trucks transporting the captured military equipment from NATO nations donated to the Armed Forces of Ukraine were seen arriving at Poklonnaya Hill last week.
The exhibition was announced by the Russian Ministry of Defence just days after they disclosed that Russian marines had seized a number of Western-made weapons during their operation to take the village of Novomikhailovka in eastern Ukraine.
