I know that captured weapons are kind of a status symbol for military organizations official or unofficial throughout history, and the current war is no different. For Ukraine, one "status symbol" weapon are AS Vals or VSS rifles since those are associated with fighting and eliminating high-ranking Russian SOF units.

But for Russia, are there any unique weapons that are considered status symbols among their soldiers? Especially since Ukraine has been given a LOT of popular and esoteric Western and Eastern European infantry equipment as aid since the war began?
