    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    During the liberation of Izyum in the northeast Kharkiv region late last year, Ukraine’s 95th Air Assault Brigade was able to capture multiple Grad rocket launcher systems, said a soldier using the call sign Pirate.

    Nearby, the assault brigade also managed to obtain a modernized Russian 2A65 Msta-B howitzer — first developed during the Soviet era — plus the ammunition needed to use it.

    “When we crossed the Oskil River [near the border with Russia — Editor’s note] we looked for possible [Russian] positions, then drove around and collected hundreds of pieces of ammunition,” reported another soldier with the brigade.

    These war trophies, however, aren’t the only seized weapons which can be reused — destroyed military equipment, debris, missile remnants and combat drones, in addition to instruction manuals, are also  extremely useful.

    Analysts studying the captured weapons have found that Russia adapts its production of military components depending on what it currently has in stock, or what it expects to receive.

    His center is constantly discovering and documenting components of foreign origin in Russian weapons — evidence which could be used to focus the next round of international sanctions on Russia.
