The latest Russian tank (T-90M), which was engaged in combat, was instantly engulfed in flames by a single Ukrainian anti-tank missile. When attacked, the ammunition stored in the tank exploded and the turret flew away, literally turning it into a ‘giant bomb’. The Ukrainian military claimed that it blew up 25 Russian tanks over four days.
According to the Ukrainian media outlet Kiev Post on the 9th (local time), Ukrainian Army Commander Oleksandr Sirsky said in a Telegram statement the previous day, “A single anti-tank missile unit destroyed 25 Russian tanks in 96 hours of fighting.” insisted.
The unit that carried out the operation belonged to the 66th Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), and military bloggers estimate that the area where this operation took place was near Kremina in the Luhansk region. However, the media said it could not independently verify this claim.
Videos shared on social media showed one of Russia’s newest T-90M tanks advancing through a farm at high speed, firing at least eight main guns. There was also footage of the crew sticking their heads out of the turret and engaging in battle. However, the tank was soon attacked by the Ukrainian army, instantly engulfed in flames, and was tragically blown up. The charred remains of the tank and the missing turret immediately after the explosion were captured in the video.
This tank appears to have been destroyed by an anti-tank guided missile (ATGM). However, apart from this video of the battle, the AFU did not provide evidence of other Russian tank losses, and the types of Russian tanks claimed to have been destroyed by the 66th Brigade anti-tank company were not confirmed.
According to military media outlet ‘The War Zone’, the T-90M in question lost its turret in a fatal explosion. In particular, the design problem of Russian tanks, in which ammunition is stored directly under the turret, was cited as a vulnerability. The media pointed out that “(as seen in this video), Russian-designed tanks are prone to a phenomenon known as the ‘jack-in-the-box’ effect, in which ammunition stored under the turret explodes when attacked, causing the tank’s turret to fly off.” did.
The T-90M is Russia’s newest main tank. The T-90M is equipped with a 125mm main gun and is equipped with reactive armor that explodes in advance when attacked by an external attack, weakening the penetration power of the attacking missile. It is also equipped with an automatic defense system that automatically explodes a smoke bomb when the laser aiming of an enemy missile is detected. It is known that Russia also has only about 100 units.
