The authors of the publication with reference to the Armed Forces Logistics Command write that when trophy tanks are registered, it means that they are either fully working or needed. "As a rule, it is liquid. They are registered when there is a prospect of use in combat missions," said spokesman Valery Shershn. According to him, the uniqueness of trophy tanks is that they are "invisible tanks" because they cannot be seen in the thermal imager. "Thermal imagers do not see them. Very unique tanks.
And they are now at the Armed Forces," Hornets said. Russian sources also spoke about such capabilities of the latest T-90M samples. Thus, in October last year it was reported that the tanks of T-90m "Break-3", equipped with a special complex "Kapka" were received on the Ukrainian front. It reduces the visibility of combat vehicles both in the infrared and radar range due to the multilayered camouflage material, which, as a case, is put on top of the tanks.
Commenting on the news, Defense Express observers noted the value of even a small number of tanks on the front line. As an example, they cited the following information - in August 2023 it became known that the Armed Forces currently have only 837 trophy equipment, although 2400 units were captured.
