@walterbrunswick It was a captured Russian IFV.

Bahkmut has been a trap: For the Russians. Yes, the Ukrainians have lost troops and equipment but you fail to explain that most analysts give the Losses as 7 Russians killed and wounded to 1 Ukranian killed or wounded. Not only have Russian forces been getting massacred trying to take Bakhmut but the high casualty figures are also down to the very poor Russian battlefield triage and evac/medical treatment. Ukrainians have much better survival and recovery rates. You also forget that Bahkmut has been basically defended for over 7 months with Home guard, territorial defense forces, and Border forces. They have been so successful in their mission and that has been to hold on while the elite forces of the Ukrainian army are trained and equipped for an offensive that will most probably decide the outcome of this war. The offensive is coming and look at what happened last year when Ukraine counter-attacked and that was with far less equipment and troops than they have now and yet they still inflicted major, strategic defeats on Russian forces unlike this possible small tactical offensive against Bakhmut which will not decide anything. The only thing maybe a little Ukranian pride but it will make no difference to the overall strategic situation of Putins War. But the Russian casualties will. Also, you pointed out the trouble Ukraine was having crossing the muddy fields and roads, well in order for the Russians to advance they will have to cross the same muddy fields and roads, we shall see what happens then.

@sixzero5576 Rusiia has had massive casualties in Bakhmut. I am just stating facts. Olga Romanova is the director of Rus Sidyashchaya ( Russia Behind Bars), a prisoner's rights organization. She stated that 40 thousand Russian prisoners were recruited into Wagner. 32 thousand have been killed, wounded, surrendered, captured, gone Awol or just missing. She estimates that no more than 8 thousand remain in the Wagner group. This figure does not include Wagner contract soldiers, Professional army, conscripts, and mobilized who must have been killed also. This is information from Moscow, from a Lady that should know. Why do you think the Ukranians have not fully retreated from Bahkmut? It's not a strategically important town. Except that it's a killing ground for Ukranian forces who kill and wound hundreds of Russians there every day and the longer it holds the bigger reserves Ukraine can build up. This is not BS just simple facts. That's why I say it's a trap for Russia. Sorry but that's the truth.
