Ukrainian troops also captured few Russian 152mm 2s3 howitzer left behind by retreating Russian forces during the Kharkive offensive. Russian forces have abandoned several tanks due to either their equipments failure to roll, mechanical issues, or fuel shortages. A 2016 model abandon Russian T-72B3 is seen in one video because to faulty tracks.

2- Lend-lease from Russians
Ukrainian soldiers showed the full Russian ammunition depot that they captured in the Kharkiv direction during the offensive. The “gift” Russian left have been already loaded for the proper use in the next battles.

I sat and watched German news last night, with quality video of a drive through some village (from Saturday). Here was a soccer-field sized area...maybe six tanks and a dozen APCs, just parked (Z-lettering on them). Simply wasn’t enough fuel for them to be brought with the retreat.
Hard to judge just how many vehicles were ‘flipped’ in this retreat. Even if they lost forty tanks this way, it’s a pretty fair loss. Ukrainians will refuel them and go right back into operation against the Russians.
My guess is that most of the mech recovered will be stuff that wasn't working and that was set for repair. Maybe some towed assets, etc., might have been captured in working condition, but if you have a usable tank, BMP, BTR, etc., you'd probably flee in that, right?
Wonder who gets the scrap steel concession. There must be over 30,000 tons of high quality steel wreckage littering the Ukraine. Armored vehicles 10-60 tons each with over 1,000 said to be destroyed.
The last words the Russians heard from the Ukrainians were “Tanks a million for the presents”.
They better check them for booby traps.🤔

Don’t mind me.
There is a massive domestic surveillance machine in the US modelled off the old East German Stasi. I wrote a ton about my own personal experience with it, as well as where it had made it into the news below. Please check it out, as I would bet it is running surveillance on most Freepers.

I am sure many are rigged/booby trapped
Don’t care. Not my monkeys, not my circus.

I for one continue to pray that this Russian invasion now will end. The world came together to support the cause of freedom for this fledgling nation.
I believe all of us should recognize the miracle of this hoped for end to the Russian invasion and that each of us should direct all honor and praise be given to Almighty God for answer to world-wide hope-filled prayer for Ukrainian victory.
Usually if you’re going to abandon equipment, you either booby trap it, or more likely render it forever unusable. (i.e. spike the barrel)
Also, you’d rig the ammo dump so you can blow it sky high at a time of your choosing, most likely remotey detonate it when the enemy has gathered around to see their “spoils” of war.
I find it hard to believe the Russians wouldn’t have done these things.
