The exhibition on Poklonnaya Hill of weapons and equipment captured by the Russian military during the special operation is expected to raise great interest among people, as "they should see the defeated equipment," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said earlier.
An exhibition of weapons and military equipment captured by Russian forces during the special military operation opened on Wednesday in Moscow's Victory Park on Poklonnaya Hill.
The exposition is located in front of the Victory Museum and shows captured weaponry from 12 countries: the US, the UK, Germany, France, Turkiye, Sweden, the Czech Republic, South Africa, Finland, Australia, Austria, and Ukraine.
The organizers of the exhibition have put 31 units of equipment on display. Among them are a German Leopard 2A6 tank and Marder IFV, US Bradley IFV, M113 APC, International MaxxPro AFV, HMMWV M1151 and HMMWV M998 armored vehicles, as well as an M777 towed howitzer.
The display also presents British AT105 Saxon and Husky TSV AFVs, an Austrian Pinzgauer 712M utility vehicle, as well as Turkish Kirpi, British Mastiff, French AMX-10RC, and Swedish CV90 AFVs.
In addition, the exhibition features anti-tank and small arms, drones, and maps.
