These are modern improved T-90M “Proryv” tanks, which were transferred to the tank formation of the Central Military District (TsVO).
At this time, tank crews are already running and firing at vehicles, taking into account the combat experience gained in the NMD zone.
In particular, shooting at targets from closed and open positions, including direct fire, is practiced. Accuracy is increased because the fire is adjusted using drones.
In the coming days, tanks will replenish the group of Brave units.
