Among such trophies are certain radar stations, weapons and equipment for the Buk-type complexes, as well as the Pantsir S-1 self-propelled anti-aircraft missile gun complex, ArmiyaInform reports.

"Trophy "Pantsir-S1" is in action! Its automatic guns are equipped with 30-millimeter projectiles, which we also have in our arsenal. We also managed to capture some rocket ammunition. Now this Russian "Pantsir" is fighting on the side of Ukraine and has already shot down the first  enemy target.We will not specify which one exactly. Currently, there is only one such installation in service, I would like to have a whole division of those "Pantsirs", -  the spokesman of the Air Forces Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Colonel Yuriy Ignat commented. 

The Command also notes that they are waiting for the "supply" of other weapons by Russia.

"We hope that as a result of the Ukrainian army's counteroffensive, the Russians will also delight us with such anti-aircraft missile systems as the S-400. This will be a real "Triumph" for our anti-aircraft missile forces," Yuriy Ignat added.
