Paratroopers in Kursk region captured the latest Russian tank.

Soldiers from the 80th brigade captured the enemy tank T-90M «Proryv»

During a raid in the Kursk region, soldiers from the 80th separate airborne assault brigade of Halych captured the latest Russian tank T-90M «Proryv». The press service of the 80th brigade reported that the Russians abandoned the tank, rendering it inoperative.

Officer of the 80th ODShBr, Ihor, said that the equipment was captured during a break into the enemy's rear. One of the occupiers unsuccessfully tried to start the tank.

«We worked it out and saw a piece of metal peek out between the trees. We saw that it was equipment, but it was not started. I saw someone climbing onto this equipment. It turned out to be a mechanic who jumped into the tank and wanted to start it, but nothing happened, he jumped out of the hatch and left. It turns out, the tank didn’t start because the batteries were simply discharged», – said Ihor.

He added that the soldiers replaced the batteries, started the tank, but noted that the new Russian equipment is ineffective in operation.

Earlier, the Russians claimed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed another bridge in the Kursk region. 

It was also reported that the operation in the Kursk region had been discussed in Kyiv for over a year.
