Ukrainian paratroopers during the operation in the Kursk region captured the brand new Russian tank T-90M Proryv. The Russians left it without a fight.
This was reported on Telegram by the 80th Separate Air Assault Galician Brigade.
According to the paratroopers, the tank became their trophy during a raid in the Kursk region. At the same time, the Russians themselves left the combat vehicle in panic without a fight, having previously brought it to a technical malfunction.
"The paratroopers of the 80th brigade quickly evaluated and mastered the armor, repaired it, started and now the war machine will destroy its creators on the side of Ukraine," the description to the video reads.
The T-90M is a modern Russian main battle tank, an upgraded version of the T-90 series that appeared in the early 1990s. The T-90M was the successor to the T-90A.
The main weapon of the T-90M is the 125-mm smoothbore gun 2A46M-5, which allows firing various types of shells, including guided missiles, which significantly increases the accuracy of firing at long ranges. In addition, the tank is equipped with an automatic charging system, which speeds up the process of preparing the gun for firing.
The T-90M has combined armor with the use of dynamic protection "Relekt", which effectively resists cumulative ammunition and armor-piercing sub-caliber shells. This protection system is significantly improved compared to previous versions of the tank.
