Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, Hercules armored vehicle and Baba Yaga UAV: the Russian Armed Forces captured military equipment abandoned during the retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Avdeevka
American-made M88A2 Hercules ARV
When retreating from Avdiivka, the Ukrainian armed forces group abandoned a large amount of military equipment, including Western production. Now this equipment has already been evacuated from the liberated city by military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces.
Among the trophies are American-made M113 and M2A2 ODS Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. One of the Bradley infantry fighting vehicles was blown up by a mine in a private sector in the south of Avdievka. Naturally, the Ukrainian military abandoned her. But the equipment that was interesting to us was not damaged in the BMP. For example, TOW anti-tank guided missiles are well preserved.
According to military correspondents, on the northern approaches to Avdeevka, in the area of the railway tracks near the settlement of Stepovoe (Petrovskoye), an American-made M88A2 Hercules armored repair and recovery vehicle (ARV) abandoned by the Ukrainian military was discovered.
In addition, our soldiers captured a Ukrainian T-64 tank and several BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles. There is evidence of our soldiers seizing abandoned American-made Humvee armored vehicles.
After the retreat of the Ukrainian troops from Avdeevka, our military also had at their disposal a large number of small arms weapons and various Western-made ammunition. For example, a whole warehouse of American and Czech ammunition for 120 mm mortars was discovered. Swedish Carl-Gustav grenade launchers, Polish mines, Italian-made cartridges, and a Baba Yaga unmanned aerial vehicle were captured.
Another interesting find is a large number of Pakistani-made 125 mm HE FS TK high-explosive fragmentation shells. They are produced in Pakistan at the Pakistan Ordnance Factories and have long been supplied to Ukraine for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
We also found ammunition and dry rations made in Canada in the city. There is no doubt that during the ongoing research activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city, other interesting trophies will be discovered.
