The sound of rockets launching in the distance breaks the silence of an otherwise quiet morning in Kyiv.
"That's us, we're attacking Russian positions close to Hostomel," a Ukrainian soldier says, as the shots fire in a synchronized rhythm.
In this particular instance, the rockets the Ukrainian military is using to target Moscow's invading troops are actually Russian.
"Last night we sent the Ukrainian armed forces 24 Uragan missiles that were on their way here to fly over our cities," says Yuri Golodov, the deputy commander of one of Ukraine's Territorial Forces and a retired seaman from the Ukrainian Navy.
"We captured them intact, gave them to the Armed Forces of Ukraine at night and now the Ukrainian army has fired missiles back at them," Golodov says.
Golodov plays a key role in repurposing military equipment abandoned by the Russian army -- or captured from it.
He leads a team working at a military junkyard at an undisclosed location in Kyiv, repairing and repainting Russian military equipment for use by Ukrainian forces. "Everything that we take away from the Russian army, we transfer to the armed forces of Ukraine," he says.

Well, son of a gun! I think I just saw a pig fly by the window.
That was a pretty good news story from CNN.
It’s been a long long time, since I have heard James Earl Jones’ voice echoing in my mind.

Repainting? Why?
They paint over the Russian markings and identify the vehicle as Ukrainian so Ukrainians won’t friendly-fire on it by accident.
“Repainting? Why?”
For a higher resale value in the used tank market when a family of four comes shopping for Junior’s first tank.
so they know who is who..
Yes but... Who controls CNN and how does this report help them reach their goals?
The deepest Deep State And Russia want perpetual war. With the need of billions or more taxpayer or international dollars to keep the destruction ongoing, making Ukrainian cities into versions of Beirut decades ago now most Syrian towns and cities. Every body wins. Everybody loses.
so they don’t get blasted for being russian.

I know let’s have The Ukraine’s surrender!!!
Since Zucker is gone, I believe the new boss over there laid down the law to their hosts that he wanted less editorializing and more straight news. This be the result.
“may”

To remove the Russian markings and put on Ukrainian ones, so that the guys with the anti tank missiles will whom to shoot at.
Yurin Golodov is the 69 year old leader of the quartering operation. He was a ranking seaman in the Russian North Fleet in Murmansk in his earlier life. From the article:
“Golodov looks on, proud. Before he retired from the navy, he says he spent time with the Soviet Union’s north fleet in Mursmansk, northwestern Russia, and says he knows what Russian forces are capable of.
“He tells us he is not surprised by how well Ukraine has fared in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
“The force of the Russian army is nothing more than a myth,” he says, confident in a Ukrainian victory. “How can someone possibly think otherwise?”
Removing Russian insignia and replacing with Ukrainian...to keep from being targeted by their own troops.
