In Photos: Russia Flaunts Captured Western Military Hardware at Annual Army Expo
Russia's annual Army International Military-Technical Forum opened in Moscow earlier this week, an event where the country's leading defense companies displayed some 1,500 of their products.
Dubbed simply Army 2023, the forum, which has been organized by the Russian Defense Ministry since 2015, gave visitors a chance to view everything from armored personnel carriers and missile launch systems, to military-grade bulldozers and stealth bombers.
The event also provided an opportunity for Russia to show off its "war trophies," Ukrainian and Western-made equipment captured on the battlefields of Ukraine.
Here's a look at some of the military hardware displayed at Army 2023:
