Among the presented items are the heritage of the USSR, ATVs, motorcycles, jeeps and a Ukrainian-made bus donated by Canada and the USA.
Journalist Mikhail Volgin posted a video review of the small exhibition on his blog.
Volgin called the equipment presented in the center of Kyiv scrap metal, inherited from a once great power.
“This kind of scrap metal is in service, you can’t call it anything else... Instead of tractors and combines, we see that the labor costs and wealth of the homeland are spent on the production of this metal, which will very soon be transported and become scrap... This is all from the collection of the Ukrainian Soviet Armed Forces The Socialist Republic or, as we said, the Soviet Army... All the weapons of the USSR, a totalitarian state that has sunk into oblivion, which left Ukraine with its equipment, which is still capable of working,” Volgin said.
It should be noted that Ukraine has officially acknowledged that it is not capable of producing modern weapons , and that the ceiling of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex is the Dozor armored vehicle and the antediluvian Molot mortar.
