The Group's commander presented Sergei Shoigu with one of the many enemy armoured vehicles, captured in the course of the battle, in particular the Swedish-manufactured CV-90 infantry fighting vehicle (IFV).
This fighting vehicle, which entered service with the Swedish Armed Forces in 1993, was disabled and abandoned by retreating Ukrainian servicemen after being hit by a shot from RPG-7 shoulder-launched, anti-tank, rocket-propelled grenade launcher.
The Russian army chief also listened to the reports of the group commander and staff officers, and thanked them for the successful offensive near Krasny Liman.
