Actual Russian Use

Russia is listed as an "operator", but the source cited (which focuses on Ukrainian losses) only attests to the confirmed or probable capture of some Ukrainian BTR-7s by Russian forces, and does not necessarily what if any use the Russians have actually made of those captured vehicles. Are there any direct sources supporting actual Russian operational use of captured BTR-7 vehicles, and not just (potentially) hauling them off as trophies or scrap metal? 108.45.159.42 (talk) 20:01, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
