The T-64 tank, intended for export to Poland, was in service and took an active part in the liberation of the city of Avdeevka. The commander of a tank with the call sign “Chuta” from the tank battalion of the 1st Slavic Brigade mentioned this in one of his speeches. RIA News.
According to him, even though this captured tank was captured in battle, its protection was modernized by Ukrainian experts and made more resistant to enemy attacks. He also stated that the car was prepared to be sent to Poland, but was stopped on Ukrainian territory after being stopped by the Ukrainian army, as confirmed by the revised Polish inscriptions.
“Chuta” expressed his gratitude to Ukrainian engineers for their work on the modernization of the tank and underlined that the vehicle is very effective in combat conditions. This incident highlights the unusual history of this tank, which entered battle formation alongside the Ukrainian armed forces before reaching its intended destination.
“It did not reach Poland. We caught him. So the car is good,” the warrior concluded.
Before that, the head of the Russian Defense Ministry, Sergei Shoigu, informed Putin about the successes of the Russian army in Avdeevka. According to the Minister of Defense, the Russian Armed Forces managed to capture the territories with minimal losses – the coke plant came under Russian control, and now the Russian army is advancing towards the West. Shoigu also told Putin about the “clearance” of the village of Krynki, which “put an end to the Ukrainian counteroffensive.” More details in the material “socialbites.ca”.
