The Armed Forces revealed the number of trophy equipment of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: the numbers disagree with Oryx - the media

Colonel Sergey Artamoschenko, Deputy Commander of Logistics Forces, in response to the request of the Glavkom, reported this. According to the colonel, 95% of this trophy machinery of Russian production is in working order, and the remaining 5% require repair. It is noted that most of this military equipment has not been used in the Armed Forces before, and there is no accurate data on its original cost.

However, information about the amount of money paid to the occupiers for voluntary transfer of this military equipment was not provided. According to the military, this information is an official information in the field of defense of Ukraine and its disclosure can harm the national security of the country and the interests of others.

According to the Defense Express observers, the number of 837 pieces of equipment may seem small when compared to other sources that claim that the Armed Forces received even more equipment in the trofe, including tanks, combat armored vehicles and other military vehicles.

For example, the Oryx project states that during the full -scale war, the fighters of the Defense of Ukraine could capture not only 549 tanks, but also almost 1000 BBM of different types and purpose, 125 engineering machines of different types, 96 tow guns, 107 SAUs and 52 RSZV. However, the actual amount of trophy equipment was lower because many cars thrown by Russian invaders were in poor condition and needed serious repairs.

Some of them could also be lost in hostilities or to be unsuitable for recovery. This explains the difference in numbers and emphasizes the importance of accuracy when analyzing trophy technology data, the observers say. We will remind, on August 23 in GUR confirmed a special operation, which made it possible to lure the Russian pilot together with the Mi-8amt combat helicopter. It was preparing for 6 months.
