UK studying Russian armored vehicles captured in Ukraine

That's according to Sky News, Ukrinform reports.

Admiral Sir Tony Radakin said the war in Ukraine had been a "wake-up call" for his forces, requiring them to be faster and take more risk when arming themselves.

"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," the admiral said.

Ben Wallace, the outgoing defense secretary, described Ukraine as a "battle laboratory" for Ukrainian troops and their Western allies as they experiment with new weapons and technology to fight Russian invaders.

"But 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," Radakin added.
