Serhiy "Grygorych" is a military officer. Before the full-scale invasion of the occupiers on our land, he was retired for 13 years. However, at the age of 57, in the winter of 2022, he went to defend Ukraine. Serhii says: - "I understood clearly - you have to stand up for yourself."

Recently, "Grygorych" modernized the trophy armored personnel carrier by installing a turret made of a burned-out BMP. Before modernization, the armored personnel carrier was technically not equipped with weapons.

Serhii says: - "By specialty, I am a mechanical engineer repairing automobile equipment. I graduated from a higher military automobile engineering school, so repairing machinery is not a new thing for me. Since March 2022, we have already been repairing trophy equipment in Sumy Oblast.

"Grygorych" says: "Most of all, this armored personnel carrier, judging by the things inside, belonged to the chief of staff of the occupiers. They restored vaccination on him, and then they told me to install a machine gun on him. I thought it would hardly work. If installed, you need to get out and charge it. And the box with ammunition will be on the outside, because you can't load it from the inside. I walked, thought... And I say to my brothers: - "What if we make 2 in 1, weld the tower from a burnt BMP? The commander said it was not possible. But he knew that if I started, I would do it."

"Thank you for the concern of one of the enterprises of the Poltava region. From the very beginning of the war, and until now, they have been helping restore trophy equipment. We measured the armored personnel carrier, and took drawings from Russian websites. And then, with the help of a computer, they made all the calculations. And here he is, the moment when everyone understands - it was successful! The tower was dismantled from the BMP and the APC was prepared. Then everything was installed. Checked - everything works, shoots! - says Serhii and adds: - "Nothing is impossible if you want it!"
