[QUOTE="Kokavkrystallos, post: 77661281, member: 453600"] [HEADING=2][FONT=times new roman][SIZE=5]Russia flaunts Western military hardware captured in war in Ukraine[/SIZE][/FONT][/HEADING] [FONT=times new roman][SIZE=5][B]I'm in Victory Park, Moscow's giant memorial complex dedicated to the Soviet Union's defeat of Nazi Germany. A new open-air exhibition has just opened.[/B] But it has nothing to do with World War Two. On display is Western military hardware captured by the Russian army in Ukraine. They are war trophies and Russia has decided to flaunt them. Among the armour here is a British Army Husky tactical support vehicle which had been donated to Ukraine. Its windscreen is covered in bullet-holes. Opposite the Husky I can see Western tanks that had been transferred to the Ukrainian military. There's an American Abrams which had been damaged on the battlefield. A German Leopard tank, too. In fact, there's a long line of German armour. And above it a sign: "History is repeating itself."[/SIZE][/FONT] [ATTACH type="full"]346946[/ATTACH] [FONT=times new roman][SIZE=5]The Russians have not invented the wheel here.
