WATCH: From Saxon to Bradley, Putin displays captured American, British tanks in Moscow

Russian President Vladimir Putin has put on display a collection of American and British tanks in Moscow captured on the frontline in Ukraine, serving as a testament to Russian military prowess.

In a post shared on X, with the caption ‘More trophies on Poklonnaya Hill in Moscow’, the tanks can be seen rolling out during the month-long exhibition in the Russian capital.

“More trophies on Poklonnaya Hill in Moscow! -

M777 howitzer
American armored vehicles “HMMWV M1151” and “HMMWV M998”
a British armored ambulance AT105 “Sakson”
an armored vehicle “Husky TSV”
an Austrian vehicle “Pinzgauer 712M”
a French wheeled tank “AMX-10RCR”
protected the Bushmaster car made in Australia
the Finnish armored personnel carrier Sisu Pasi XA-180/185
the Mamba MK2 armored car made in South Africa
the Ukrainian Triton and Bogdan-2251,” the post reads as it showcases array of vehicles parked in Moscow.

A British Saxon armoured personnel carrier, believed to have been given to Ukraine in 2015, was among vehicles pictured parked in the Russian capital under red banners boasting “Our victory is inevitable”.

The exhibition will also feature American Bradley tank, a Swedish CV90 and a French-made AMX-10RC armoured fighting vehicle, all captured during the conflict in Ukraine.

The exhibit will run alongside Moscow’s Red Square Victory Day Parade on 9 May, an annual event commemorating Russia’s victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two.

Putin has historically used this day to deliver fiery speeches, often targeting Western powers and positioning Russia’s actions in Ukraine as part of its historical ‘battle against fascism.

Meanwhile, Putin’s forces have made significant gains along the eastern front in Ukraine, at least in three locations, including a notable advance in the northern Kharkiv region, a first in several months.

This underscores Kyiv’s urgent requirement for ammunition and weapons support from the United States and other allies.

The tactical gains made by Russia are now a daily occurrence, showcasing the heightened pace of operations on the battlefield since the fall of Avdiivka in February.

On Monday, Russia’s defense ministry announced the capture of the village of Semenivka in Donetsk, adding to their recent territorial acquisitions. This follows the ministry’s declaration of capturing Novobakhmutivka, situated just north of Semenivka, on Sunday.
