Reuters reported that the wrecked Abrams tank has been a favorite for Russian state media, with one TV correspondent saying it’s not been the “wonder weapon” that the US thinks it is.

“But that was all nonsense — look at this — all of its reputation has been destroyed,” he said, per a translation by the wire.

The US on April 26 said Ukraine is withdrawing its Abrams tanks from the front lines, over concerns that they were being undermined by drone attacks.

Russian surveillance drones can spot the prized armor more easily and make the tanks more difficult to protect.

Ukraine was given 186 Bradleys, which are armed with a 25mm gun that can fire 300 rounds per minute.

Around 63 Bradleys were captured or damaged by October 2023, though some have been repaired and returned to service, per Dutch open-source outlet Oryx.

The US has delivered some 1,700 high-mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicles to Ukraine since the war began.

Ukraine has since early 2023 been given M88 recovery vehicles to haul damaged tanks and heavy-duty weaponry off the battlefield.

The Maxxpro’s armor has been lauded by Ukrainian troops, who they say say it can easily withstand heavy Russian fire. In late 2023, Ukraine was reported to have been using the vehicles in direct assaults on Russian positions.

Kyiv says the towed artillery units have been key to staving off the Russian advance, but a lack of ammunition in recent months has severely affected the weapon’s effectiveness on the battlefield.

Ukraine has received several dozen Leopard 2 tanks from several countries, including Portugal, Canada, Poland, and the Netherlands. At least 18 were delivered by Germany.

The Marder has been in service since 1971. It was notably used by Ukrainian forces to breach Russian lines and defenses during their counteroffensive.

Some of the vehicles can be seen displayed with a NATO symbol. Russia continues to amplify its rhetoric that NATO’s supplying of weapons to Ukraine essentially constitutes a war between the treaty organization and Moscow.

Dubbed, the “battle-taxi,” the Saxon is a 4×4 vehicle that’s low-cost and armored. Ukraine has been using these since before the start of the war.

The Mastiff counts among the 120 armored vehicles first sent by the UK to Ukraine in 2022.

The Turkish-made MRAP is an armored troop carrier, and 50 of them have been delivered to Ukraine.

Sweden donated 50 of these armored fighting vehicles to Ukraine when the war began.

It’s not immediately clear how many of these are deployed by Ukraine, but around 10 of them have been reported to be lost in combat in Ukraine, per Oryx.

The AMX-10 RC, generally considered a scouting vehicle, is sometimes also seen as a tank. They entered service in Ukraine in mid-2023 and are typically meant to provide fire support and push through weaknesses in the front lines.

However, they were reported to have performed poorly when used at the front of columns in Ukraine’s counteroffensive. Oryx reports that at least four such vehicles have been lost in combat.

Australia has sent around 120 Bushmasters to Ukraine, and around 12 were reported by Oryx to be destroyed or damaged. In the first year of the war, Ukrainian troops said they were using the four-wheel drives as infantry fighting vehicles because they didn’t have enough of the latter to go around.

The BMP-2 is a Soviet amphibious infantry fighting vehicle that was typically produced in the 1980s.

At least seven of these vehicles were donated to Ukraine by Estonia in 2022.

Russia showed off everything from mines to grenades to scopes at the Victory Park exhibition.

The opening also comes as the US approved a $61 billion tranche of long-awaited aid to Ukraine, which Kyiv repeatedly said is vital to its fight against Russia.

Moscow has decried it as insignificant to the war’s outcome, saying Russia is starting to win the war and the renewed inflow of US aid won’t make a difference.

Meanwhile, international observers and Western authorities say Russia has been taking heavy casualties since the war began, at one point in the winter suffering a reported 1,000 losses per day.

But reports by think tanks like the Royal United Services Institute say Moscow can likely sustain these losses for years as it boosts its recruitment drive and production capacities.
