Russia flaunts Western military hardware captured in war in Ukraine
In this video, the camera takes us to an event in Russia where they show military equipment coming from the west that they are involved in the conflict in Ukraine. The video begins with images of a military parade where weapons and equipment are mounted on cars or positioned on the side of the road. Then, the commentator explains each piece of equipment one by one, presenting them as examples of war and violence carried out by the west to attack the Russian state.
In the video, we see tanks, explosive guns and other types of weapons that Russian troops claim to be using in fighting in Ukraine. Russian military players also appear in the video, showing how they control and operate the equipment.
