Russia announced: We destroyed the Turkish-made T-122 Sakarya

It was announced that Russia destroyed the T-122 Sakarya multi-barrel rocket launcher system, purchased by Ukraine from Turkey.

In the statement issued at the time, it was said: “The remains of the T-122 sent by Turkey and coming from Sakarya were found in the region.”
