During the Army-2022 exhibition, the Russians decided to boast about allegedly captured equipment in Ukraine. In particular, the Bayraktar TB2 drone.

What we know

The drone was assembled from the wreckage of other drones of the Turkish company. Immediately eye-catching is the crookedly applied number "403". Under the left wing you can see the mock-ups of MAM-L and MAM-C bombs, secured with cable ties.

By the way, some sources report that this Bayraktar TB2 was assembled from Turkish drones that were shot down in Syria. But we do not exclude that fragments of Ukrainian drones were used to create this mock-up.

The Russians also demonstrated a captured 155mm M777 howitzer. The occupants point out that they repaired the artillery piece. True, the fact that the gun stands on a strut hints that the howitzer is not combat-ready.
