Fighters of the Russian PMCs "Wagner" demonstrated an American 155-mm M777 howitzer destroyed in the Artemovsk area. On the video published by the Russian military, you can see the wreckage of a completely destroyed American-made artillery piece, on which a plate with markings has been preserved.
This video, like many similar ones published on social networks earlier, almost completely refutes the claim of Ukrainian propaganda that the Russian army destroys mainly inflatable models of Western weapons made in Poland, while almost all military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine allegedly remains intact.

During the year since the beginning of the Russian special operation, the Ukrainian army has received a significant amount of weapons from the West, a significant part of which, however, are Soviet-made samples of military equipment available to Eastern European countries.
However, due to the depletion of stocks of old military equipment, Ukraine's supplies also include newer weapons, such as American M777 howitzers, modern German Leopard 2 tanks and Western-made air defense systems.
The Russian army is methodically destroying military equipment supplied to Ukraine, but Ukrainian militants still have a significant amount of Western-style weapons at their disposal.
