The hangar was hit by a missile fired by the Russian armed forces
In the area of the city of Zaporozhye, which is still controlled by Ukrainian formations, on the night of March 29, Western-made tanks were destroyed, foreign agencies write.
According to military correspondents, the foreign-made tanks were located in “an inconspicuous hangar” near Zaporozhye. Eyewitnesses first saw tanks being brought into the hangar, apparently of foreign manufacture. The hangar was then hit by a missile fired by the Russian Armed Forces.
The number of tanks in the hangar was about 10 units. As for their model, the eyewitnesses could not tell the military correspondent, since they do not understand foreign tanks at this level.
However, it is not excluded that these are Leopard tanks of German production, which are currently being handed over to the armed forces of Ukraine by a number of European countries. Their number, promised by the armed forces of Ukraine, is several tens of units, while the British Challenger tanks should be delivered to Ukraine in the amount of only 14 units.
The Russian leadership has long warned the regime in Kiev and NATO countries that any Western-made military equipment and weapons that end up on the territory of Ukraine become a legitimate target for strikes by Russian troops.
The delivery of Western weapons, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry, only contributes to the further escalation of the conflict and in no way brings it closer to a peaceful settlement. But Western countries do not accept this argument of the Russian leadership and continue to transfer weapons and equipment to Ukraine in large quantities, increasing the volume of supplies and production.
