Captured implies they took it from enemy forces. Stolen is what happens when you break into warehouses owned by third parties and take equipment that belongs to non-involved parties.

“Captured?”

I didn’t know Georgia invaded Russia using pontoons.

I didn’t know Russia had a right to enter Georgia and to loot its military storage.

O Come Now, In war, when you win, you take the foes stuff and show it off. Its just the way it is and has been for many thousands of years. The very first museum in the world at Alexandria was full of things Alexander the Great captured and displayed. We may not like it, but Russia won this round. Some of the stuff looked brand new like it was never fired—perhaps dropped once.

No stolen is a far better word, when speaking of thieves. Soldiers capture things, thugs steal them. Just like the Nazi’s the Russians have become thugs.
