The video was shot near the village of Kislivka in the Kharkiv region in the north-east of Ukraine, and the footage shows how Kyiv troops break up an armored column.

In addition to the wreckage of the T-90M tank, the footage also shows the remains of two T-72BR tanks, an armored BMP-2, a military truck and an IMR-2 vehicle used by Russian army engineers.

The administrators of the Ukraine Weapons Tracker page note that this convoy was probably destroyed by the Ukrainians in September, when the catastrophic collapse of the Russian front in Kharkiv occurred, but a video of the destroyed equipment appeared from the ground. in social networks Just now.

The Ukrainians destroyed the first T-90M tank more than six months ago

The Russian army threw a T-90 tank into battle in Ukraine in May, the first was destroyed by the Ukrainians only a few days after it arrived at the front.

Later, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine released a video showing how its fighters destroyed the most modern tank in the Russian army’s arsenal with the Swedish-made Carl Gustav anti-tank grenade launcher.

“We thank the people and the Swedish king for their help,” the Ministry of Defense in Kyiv said at the time, stressing that the “pride of Russian tank-building” was destroyed by this launcher.

However, since then, no other video has appeared that would confirm the destruction of the T-90M, other than this one.

About 100 T-90M tanks are believed to have been in service with Russia’s best-equipped units before President Vladimir Putin launched the war in Ukraine on February 24.

Advanced combat vehicle armor designed to counter anti-tank weapons, however, remains vulnerable if not supported by other combat elements. In this case, the tank appears to have been destroyed by a HIMARS missile attack.

Although this would be highly unusual, another video released by the Ukrainian military in late October shows that they have also begun using HIMARS systems for direct strikes against Russian military combat vehicles.
