During one operation, Ukrainian forces quickly captured a column of Russian armored vehicles. But instead of simply blowing up the tanks and IFVs, Ukrainian crews did something the Russians never expected.
They climbed into the captured Russian tanks, switched on the Russian radios, and calmly drove deep into enemy territory pretending to be Russian forces.
The Russian convoy had been moving in tight formation. Ukrainian soldiers rapidly neutralized the crews, seized the vehicles, and within minutes were driving along the very road the occupiers had just used. They spoke Russian over the radio, used Russian call signs, and even copied the style of Russian communications. At checkpoints, Russian troops simply waved them through, believing they were friendly units returning from a mission.
The Ukrainians then drove straight onto the grounds of a Russian brigade headquarters.
Once the tanks were inside the base, Ukrainian crews suddenly turned their turrets and opened fire. Headquarters buildings, ammunition depots, and vehicle parks instantly descended into chaos. Russian troops ran between tents in panic, shouting and firing in every direction — but it was already too late. They had allowed a “Trojan horse” directly into their own base.
The entire operation lasted only minutes. Ukrainian forces captured the headquarters, took Russian officers prisoner, destroyed key military targets, and withdrew without losses.
