Soldiers of one of the brigades of mechanized troops seized modern Russian armored vehicles.
Armored vehicles were seized in battle by soldiers of the 14th separate mechanized brigade named after Prince Roman the Great.
The Ukrainian military received an infantry fighting vehicle BMP-3, which is designed to transport personnel.
It is reported that the combat armored tracked vehicle was seized in a relatively undamaged condition.
Fighters of the brigade say that they will restore the Russian BMP in a short time.

Russian armored vehicles will be used immediately against the former owners.
" Currently, the machine is a bit shaky and it still smells of Russian spirit. But the skillful hands of our brothers in a record time will bring it to the path, and the guns of the trophy BMP-3, rest assured, will soon turn against the former owners. They should like the death from their weapons , ”14 OMB fighters said.
The BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle is armed with a 100-millimeter gun - a 2A70 launcher with a 30-millimeter 2A72 automatic gun and a 7.62-millimeter PKTM machine gun.
BMP is designed to transport personnel to the front line, increase mobility, armament and protection of servicemen on the battlefield in the use of nuclear weapons and joint action with tanks in battle.
