It seems that now you will see the most spectacular destruction of the Russian tank. The video caught the last seconds of life of the T-90M "Breakthrough".

Here's What We Know

The first video shows how the T-90M "Breakthrough" makes a few shots, continues to move, and then explodes very beautifully. The second video shows the explosion in close-up.

It may seem that the modernised Russian tank, which is estimated to cost $2.5-4.5 million, ran over a mine. However, it was actually hit by soldiers of the 66th separate mechanised brigade. They used an anti-tank missile system to eliminate the fighting vehicle.

According to Oryx, this is at least the 25th completely destroyed T-90M Breakthrough since February 2022. In total, the Russian army has lost 45 tanks. Many of them were severely damaged and abandoned. At least three more tanks became trophies of the Ukrainian Defence Forces.
