From Advanced Orlan-10 UAV to T-80 tanks, Russian Army leaves “valuable gifts” for Ukraine in Kharkiv
https://www.defenceview.in ^ | September 11, 2022 | admin@defenceview

The Russians are “regrouping” so rapidly in the Kharkiv region that Ukrainian troops barely have time to captured all the weapons and equipments during the offensive in Kharkiv region but they manage to captured so many weapons abandon by Russian Army.

Several photo appeared in the public domain indicating that during the offensive in the Kharkiv Region, the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine took as a trophy the enemy command and staff vehicle R-149МА1, which is an element of the automated control system of the Russian military, known under the designations “Sozvezdie” and “ESU TK”. It seems that this car was taken as a trophy from the results of the battles on September 8, 2022.

And this is only the second R-149MA1 that fell into the hands of the Armed Forces during the entire war against the Russian Federation. The first was captured in mid-March 2022 in the Mykolaiv region. Analysts of the Oryx portal give a conservative estimate according to which Ukrainian troops also destroyed at least six R-149МА1 by using anti-tank missiles during the entire period of hostilities.

As we can judge by the feedback of our defenders on social networks, the Russian army in the Kharkiv region is retreating so rapidly that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have not collected so many trophies for a long time.

Here it is worth adding that the above-mentioned P-149MA1 is not the first “valuable gift” left behind by the Russians. As previously reported by Defence View, during the liberation of Balakleia, Ukraine military took the Russian Tor-M1 air defense system as a trophy for the first time during the war. And also – that the soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces “trophied” the 1L261 radar station of Rashistov from the 1L260 “Zoopark-1M” counter-battery complex, the second during the entire war.

Not only that Ukraine armed forces also captured numbers of Russian tank T-72, T-80 tanks BTR armored personnel carrier. In just single location Ukrainian forces captured Russian 8 T-80BVs, and a T-80U, two BTR variants, a UR-77 and more vehicles near Izium. Also they able to captured BREM–1M armoured recovery vehicle (ARV).

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.

Ukrainian troops also captured two Russian BM-21 grads and one Ural truck in the Kharkiv oblast. Ukraine also captured one 1L261 Zoopark-1 counter-battery radar system and countless no of rifle ammunition, hundreds of anti tank weapons, automatic grenade launchers. They also manage to captured a MT-LB multi-purpose, fully amphibious, tracked armored fighting vehicle.

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.

In fairness, it's kind of tough to argue that the Russians didn't have much armor left, then argue that they left massive quantities of it behind. Either they had it, or they didn't.

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.

A fair assessment I think. But those will provide a lot of spare parts as well.

The last words the Russians heard from the Ukrainians were “Tanks a million for the presents”.

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.

You wouldn’t flee in Russian military tanks & trucks if you are putting on civilian clothes quitting as a soldier in the Russian army. Intercepted phone calls are reporting this as well as Russian soldiers shooting themselves in leg or shoulder.

They may prefer to steal a car and not be a target.

In fairness, it's kind of tough to argue that the Russians didn't have much armor left, then argue that they left massive quantities of it behind. Either they had it, or they didn't.

It's "tough" only if the listener is too dense and incapable of understanding that the (true) statement "The Ukrainians have destroyed lots of Russian armor" and/or "The Russians have lost massive amounts of armor" is NOT equivalent to the (false) assertion "The Russians thus have absolutely no more armor left that they could lose."

The Ukrainians have inflicted devastating losses upon the Russians. Further, Russian cowardice / unwillingness to fight, the sheer incompetence of Russian leadership, and the catastrophic state of Russian equipment and/or abysmal Russian supply logistics have been responsible for further massive losses.

This does not preclude the possibility of there still being large amounts of Russian matériel still waiting to be destroyed by Ukrainian forces or abandoned by retreating Russian troops.

Why are you "sure" of that?

Can you link to any articles or reports of Ukrainian soldiers being killed or wounded by boobytrapped Russian booty?

Or is this merely a case of "wishful thinking" on your part?
