The Armed Forces of Ukraine tracked down several Russian tanks using an unmanned aerial vehicle and destroyed them with artillery.
What we know
What weapons did the AFU use to destroy the Russian tanks is not specified. It is also unclear why one of the armored fighting vehicles in the video is lying with its caterpillars up. But it is known that one of the destroyed tanks was T-90M "Proryv" (Breakthrough). It is considered the best Russian tank right now.
According to Russian media, T-90M "Proryv" has a unique fire control system developed from scratch. In addition, Russian propaganda claims that the tank has no analogues in the world. It is equipped with a new turret with a 2A82-1M gun of 125 mm caliber. The tank also has a twin 7.62 mm machine gun and a remote weapon module with a 12.7 mm machine gun.
The T-90M "Proryv" weighs 46 tons. It is lighter than the French Leclerc (58 tons), German Leopard-2 (58 tons), American Abrams M1A1 (57 tons) and British Challenger-2 (62 tons). The tank is equipped with 1130 hp engine and can reach 70 km/h.
The most upgraded version of the T-90M "Proryv" itself costs $4,300,000. Russia sells the export version of the tank for $2,500,000.
