Does anybody have pix of the BMP-1U Shkval in combat? Or if it was used in the current conflict in the Ukraine? If so were there any "add-on" armor? Any help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Looks like it was used in Georgia back in 2008 :

Looks like the Russian forces 'captured' them pretty much intact! I mean how much combat could they've been in if the Russians are driving them around?
