Two French Self-Propelled 155 mm CAESAR Artillery Units Have Been Captured By Russian Forces

Defence View: Two French CAESAR howitzer have been captured by the Russian military 

A French journalist announced the capture of the Caesar self-propelled guns transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. 

The French self-propelled 155 mm CAESAR artillery units, handed over to the Armed Forces of Ukraine only a few weeks ago, have already been captured by the Russian military. With such information, the French journalist, lawyer and politician Régis de Castelnau noted that due to the oversight of the Ukrainian military, the Armed Forces of Ukraine not only lost two Caesar self-propelled artillery mounts, but the latter were captured by the Russian military, who had already sent NATO weapons for study.

WNU Editor: Russian media is saying that these captured French self-propelled 155 mm CAESAR artillery units were actually sold to them by Ukrainian soldiers. A Russian arms manufacturer that is studying these captured artillery pieces is not impressed with its capabilities. They are also mocking the French President .... Russian arms maker mocks France's Macron (RT).

I am the first to admit that this could be a Russian disinformation effort.  But the thing is that this story is plausible when it comes to a place like Ukraine.
