In a daring nighttime raid, Ukraine's Azov Brigade successfully captured a top-of-the-line Russian T-72B3M tank, showcasing their prowess amidst ongoing conflict in the region. The operation, which unfolded near Terny village in Ukraine's Donetsk region, saw two Azov Brigade soldiers scaling the abandoned tank, a testament to the unit's tactical agility and resourcefulness on the battlefield.
Aerial footage released by the Azov Brigade depicted the dramatic moment when two soldiers clambered onto the deserted Russian tank, marking a significant victory for Ukrainian forces in their struggle against Russian incursions. The video, captured by a drone, provided a glimpse into the high-stakes nature of the operation and the meticulous planning involved in executing such a daring maneuver.
Prior to the successful tank seizure, Ukrainian troopers meticulously prepared for the operation over nearly three days, underscoring their commitment to precision and readiness. Sappers meticulously cleared the route and the vehicle for traps, while infantry units secured the area for Ukrainian soldiers to execute their mission. The intricate planning involved reconnaissance, transportation of specialized equipment, and coordination among different units, culminating in the audacious heist.
The captured T-72B3M tank, a formidable piece of Russian military hardware, boasts a robust arsenal including a smoothbore gun, coaxial machine gun, and heavy machine gun. Weighing in at 45,000 kg and capable of speeds up to 60 km/h, the tank offers a range of 550 km, making it a formidable asset on the battlefield. Its crew of three operates within a highly advanced weapons system, equipped with anti-tank missiles and cutting-edge defensive measures.
Ukraine's Azov Brigade, originally formed as a volunteer military group in response to Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014, has evolved into a formidable fighting force renowned for its resilience and determination. Comprised initially of civilian volunteers from far-right and neo-Nazi groups, the brigade quickly established itself as a key player in reclaiming strategic territories from Russian forces. Their successful integration into Ukraine's National Guard underscores their pivotal role in safeguarding Ukrainian sovereignty against external threats.
