TOPSHOT-UKRAINE-RUSSIA-CONFLICT-WAR

TOPSHOT - Ukrainian servicemen work at their position near Bakhmut on March 20, 2023. - A small group of old friends has refurbished a 1950s artillery piece to go fight together on the front lines. The six men are firing a Soviet-era 57mm S-60 gun, a piece usually seen at the entrances to large cities on traffic circles or official buildings. "The gun you see here comes from a warehouse. It was stored as scrap metal. So we repaired it, refurbished it and now we use it to protect our native Ukraine," Volodymyr, 37, who commands the artillery unit, told AFP.
