In a video published on social networks by the Ukrainian military, it can be seen that they managed to knock out the most modern tank of the Russian army with the Stugna-P anti-tank system, which is another outstanding achievement of the Kyivans.

Footage taken in the east of the country, where fighting is raging, shows the T-90M tank, considered the pride of the Russian arms industry, disabled along with another army combat vehicle sent by Vladimir Putin to Ukraine on February 24.

However, it is not 100% clear from the record whether the T-90M tank was destroyed or simply badly damaged. Theoretically, these third-generation main battle tanks should withstand such hits, being equipped with modern dynamic armor.

But the projectile used by the Stugna-P system has two warheads, precisely to be able to penetrate this type of armor.

The stunning strike comes after another video surfaced on social media in late November showing another unprecedented attack by the Ukrainian military using the Stugna-P system, which managed to destroy a Russian tank just as it was trying to save another tank , damaged by the Russians. .

Despite the fact that the Stugna-P mobile anti-tank installation is often forgotten compared to other weapons in service with the Ukrainian army, such as the Javelin and NLAW anti-tank systems or the Bayraktar TB2 drones, in almost 10 months of war it has proven to be one of the most versatile the weapons that the Ukrainian military have, they have at their disposal.

Sensational achievements of the Ukrainian military with the Stugna-P system.

In addition to spectacular hits on tanks and armored personnel carriers, the Ukrainian military also used this portable anti-tank launcher for direct hits on Russian infantry, ammunition depots, and Russian attack helicopters.

The video published on social networks on October 9 shows how one operator using the Stugna-P system managed to quickly destroy two tanks and one armored car.

Other footage, which was widely shared on Twitter in late October, also showed how the system was used to destroy 4 Russian tanks one after the other after hitting a combat vehicle at the head of the convoy.

This anti-tank launcher is a semi-automatic system that uses laser-guided missiles and has the ability to further correct the missile’s flight path with a joystick, which has been seen in numerous recordings shared on social media.

Although it does not offer the same mobility as the Javelin and NLAW systems, it has a much longer range as its missiles can engage targets up to 5.8 km away.

The Ukrainian army destroyed 3 of the most modern T-90M tanks that Russia has?

If it is confirmed that the T-90M tank, which got into new footage on social networks, was destroyed, and not just damaged, the number of such heavy combat vehicles lost by the Russian military in Ukraine will increase to three.

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 destroy 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 King of Sweden for their help,” the Ministry of Defense in Kyiv said at the time, emphasizing that this launcher was used to destroy the “pride of Russian tank-building.”

The destruction of the second T-90M tank was confirmed by a video that appeared on social networks at the end of last month, showing a convoy of Russian vehicles destroyed by the Ukrainian army.

Ukraine seized two T-90M tanks

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.

Ukrainian forces also managed to capture at least two such tanks. The first capture was confirmed by photos that the Ukrainian military shared on social networks on September 18.

The capture of the second T-90M was confirmed by a video that the Ukrainians shared at the beginning of the month:
