In April, the Armed Forces were hunted for the most protected from FPV-punks by a Russian tank-Forbes

The Armed Forces remained without the supply of Western ammunition for half a year, so the drones were partially replaced by artillery. And Russian troops rolled up a tank from, perhaps, the most effective system of HR, which had ever been used in the war in Ukraine. In early April, the Russian assault group attacked the positions of the 12th National Guard Brigade near Ternov, west of the Kreminna Donetsk region. The assault ended in the usual way. Forbes writes about it.

Russian troops were blown up on mines, they were also persecuted by Ukrainian drones. Those who survived were throwing armored vehicles and running to their positions. But it was remarkable that the Russian troops were left behind: an almost unharmed and completely new T-72B3M tank, equipped with one of the most romantic and perhaps the most effective Reb to fight drone that have ever been used during the war in Ukraine.

The 12th Brigade of the National Guard (NSU) carried out a mission for three days in view, repair and evacuation of the 51 ton T-72. Two months later, the T-72 was inspected, from it removed the hungs, repaired, repainted in the distinguishing signs of the 12th brigade and attributed to the same tank battalion, which helped him steal it. It is one of the two T-72B3M T-72B3M T-72B3M T-72B3M, which was called "Tsar-Tank" or "Tank-Freak".

The Ukrainian military journalist Yuri Butusov has recently met with the commander of the 12th Brigade with the Crimea call sign, who lost his eye during Mariupol fighting in the first months of the war. According to the fighter, this is the first similar trophy in the whole war, he had a huge system of REB with additional batteries on the sides, as on a pirate ship. Why the Russians hung so many obstacles on one tank, obviously.

For half a year, since October, US lawmakers in Congress have blocked new US assistance to Ukraine, which is why Ukrainian brigades remained without shells. Therefore, Ukrainians have launched an accelerated program for the creation of small workshops up to 100 000 FPV-roms in hundreds of small workshops. Tsar-Tank may be the best thing that could be done with the radio suppression of drones. The gathered mufflers failed as often as they worked.

But they have always been the object of close attention of Ukrainian intelligence-hence the interest in the stuck "king-dance". As the 12th brigade won the tank now is well known. On the night of April 3, he was approached by scouts and examined. He was in a barbed wire and on an anti -tank mini, which did not break. The tank crew was killed by drones. On the night of April 4, the fighters, according to "Crimea", the tank decided to steal.

A group of sappers and tankers made their way to the T-72 to neutralize the fighting explosive and install new batteries. On the night of April 5, there was only to chase the tank a few kilometers to the thorns. The infantry and drone operators watched what was happening from a safe distance. Doctors and an ambulance team were on duty.

The hobby itself was possible thanks to the tankers-"Baydar" and "Tenor", who hurried to the T-72, not paying attention to the nearest artillery fire of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. When the T-72 approached the thorns, the Russians were noticed, but could not say whether the tank was riding from them or to them. They opened artillery fire. The shelling, according to "Crimea" was chaotic. Putting the tank to maximum speed, the "tenor" did not notice the bump directly in front of him.

She hit her tank, and the tenor got a concussion and bleeding, but in a few minutes he came to her senses and immediately took to pull the tank out of the funnel. Soon the tankers were safe in the Ukrainian rear. It should be reminded that on June 5, the case was reported when the Armed Forces was hit by a Russian tank with a auto -loan. The remedies did not help him. It was also reported that Russian troops use the robots "Frog" and "Impulse-M".
