As a result of the fighting in the Zaporozhye direction, the Russian military was able to knock out a Polish tank PT-91 Twardy from among the package of military assistance transferred to Ukraine by Warsaw. Forbes Polska writes about this.
As the newspaper writes, this is the first Polish tank RT-91 from among the military vehicles transferred to Ukraine. Previously, the Ukrainian command did not throw these tanks into battle., since the only mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with such tanks in service until the last days was in the strategic reserve of the command.
In this way, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, as it appears, ordered to throw into battle strategic reserves. Western media have previously reported, that the US administration persistently demanded this from him, dissatisfied with the complete lack of success in the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The Polish edition writes, that the crew of the RT-91 tank escaped safely, when Russian artillery opened fire on the advancing Ukrainian equipment. About the reserve mechanized brigade thrown into battle is known, that she has already suffered serious losses. Therefore, it is possible, that this tank is far from the last among the wrecked, and soon we can get information about new armored vehicles destroyed by the Russian Armed Forces from among those transferred to Ukraine by NATO countries.
known, that as a result of the fighting in the Zaporozhye direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already lost a significant number of German-made Leopard tanks transferred to Ukraine and American-made Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. Western military equipment did not justify the hopes of the Kyiv regime, who considered it a kind of "miracle weapon", capable of penetrating Russian defense lines. used photos:Wikipedia / K2xe
