The UK is picking apart Russian military equipment captured in Ukraine.

Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, Britain’s military chief, shared this in a comment to Sky News.

Thus, the British servicemen want to learn more about the specifications and other parameters of Russian military equipment.

Meanwhile, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace has described Ukraine as a “battle laboratory” for Ukrainian forces and their Western allies as they experiment with new weapons and technology to fight the Russian invaders.

Admiral Radakin noted that the war in Ukraine had been a “wake-up call” for the UK. According to him, it demands the accelerated acquisition of military equipment and a “more aggressive” policy for Britain with regard to its own security.

Asked about what the UK was learning from examining captured Russian military vehicles from Ukraine, Admiral Radakin said:

“It’s really important because we’re in a club of nations that when we get hold of Russian kit or other nations’ kit that might be a danger to us in the future, we share that knowledge.”

“We also have the scientists that unpick the detail that another nation might have to a really forensic level, and that helps us to understand: how does their equipment work? How can we defeat it? How can we have even better armor? How can we disrupt their communications? How can we ensure that we can penetrate their defenses? And that’s what we do,” said Radakin.

Since the beginning of the full-scale war with Russia, Ukrainian troops have captured hundreds of units of the invader’s military equipment. It became a valuable asset for the Armed Forces of Ukraine brigades.

Previously, specialists in Ukraine examined the Russian Lancet kamikaze drone.

The analysis of the loitering munition revealed that it has parts not of Russian production but of foreign production.

Parts of a Russian drone were also publicly presented, and markings on some electronic components were rubbed off.
