The State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine reports on how to distinguish Ukrainian military equipment from that of the enemy.

Russian equipment has a dark green and swamp colour. Sometimes there is a tricolour painting. 

Ukrainian technology has a colour in the form of «pixel» or dark green colour, close to olive colour 

The equipment of the occupiers, which is still moving in our country, has additional features that indicate the direction of movement:

  • An oblique line on the body – a direction to Kherson.
  • The Z mark on the body is an attack on Kharkiv, and the Rosguard (guard of Kadyrov) was also spotted in this direction. Currently, such equipment is going to Kyiv from Sumy.
  • Triangle – for subdivisions in Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.
  • Circle – for mobile reserve.

What to do if you saw the occupation equipment?

Inform the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the website of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Shoot the movement of this equipment on video and post it on the social network under the hashtag #war_against_ukraine.

We note that in no case should Ukrainian equipment be filmed, as this can help the enemy adjust their fire. In addition, it is recommended to turn off geolocation on smart devices. The faces of soldiers or license plates of military equipment are also prohibited from being photographed and photographed.
