According to the department, the operation to seize the combat vehicle was carefully planned. First, the military had to conduct a reconnaissance of the area, pave a new road, clear the minefields, and then secretly approach the facility. As a result, the German vehicle was “trophied” by the forces of the evacuation platoon and a tank battalion and removed from the battlefield.
It is noted that Ukrainian soldiers tried to destroy Marder using mines, but their plan failed. The German infantry fighting vehicle suffered only minor damage.
“The vehicle is fully operational, fully operational… It is more suitable for disassembly and study,” RIA Novosti quotes the words of a serviceman with the call sign “Kazbek.”
Previously, a video appeared on the Internet with Russian fighters who “trophied” Marder. In the images, the soldiers with the tricolor flag in their hands say that they managed to snatch the car from under the enemy’s nose.
