| MOSCOW (AFP)--Russia's army has seized 100 Georgian armored vehicles, including 65 tanks and five ground-to-air missile launchers, in operations near South Ossetia, Russian news agencies reported Saturday.
The military materiel also included 15 light armored vehicles, said Col. Igor Konashenkov, of the Russian infantry staff.
For the most part, the armored vehicles had been manufactured in Ukraine, he said, adding that an unspecified number of U.S.-made troop transporters had also been found.
D-30 cannons and Czech-manufactured artillery systems also featured on the list of materiel that the Russian army said it had recovered.
