The focus was unable to verify the primary source of this message, but led to the clarity of a number of accounts on Telegram and X accounts, which reported the elimination of Russians riding with the US flag on the front. At the time of the material, the military command of the Defense Forces also did not comment on the likely elimination of the Russian crew, which was stormed with the flags of the United States and the Russian Federation.
Recall that the Russian propaganda channel RT posted a video with a signature that it is "Trophy American BTR M113 with flags of Russia and the USA, which is storming in the area of Zaporizhzhya village of Mala Tokmachka. " Allegedly, the Russian military captured him in Ukrainian positions and took the flag there. The authenticity of the video has not been confirmed. Russian Telegram channels noted that the video was cut because the Trophy was attacked by drones, but did not show this propaganda.
The head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak said that the staff showed Russian equipment. "In fact, the Russians use in their terrorist, invading war with the killings of civilians the symbolism of the United States. Maximum arrogance," Yermak said. Many indicated that the video is not M113, but GAZ-71. GAZ-71, or GT-CM is a crawler conveyor-mole-canned. The high -speed floating conveyor is intended for transportation of people and cargoes in heavy off -road conditions.
It was intended primarily for the Far North, Siberia and the Far East. It was used during exploration, construction, oil production, forestry service, as well as in the army and border troops. Developed by the design department of the Gorkov Automobile Plant on the basis of the tracked conveyor GT-C (GAZ-47). It was produced from 1968 to 1985 at the Zavolsky Caterpillars, after which it was replaced with a modernized variant of GAZ-3403, which is released so far.
