Soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces demonstrated the work of the T-90 tank in the North-Eastern European Defense Forces zone

Russian servicemen have shown the operation of a T-90M tank in the Special Military Operation (SMO) zone. Images of combat work are at the disposal of "Izvestia".

It is noted that Russian troops continue to advance on Torskoye, Terny and Serebryanka.

"We came to the outskirts. This is the side of Serebryanka. There are already wooded areas behind me, there are already enemy strongholds there," Izvestia correspondent Alexander Fedorchak reported.

After the tank takes a combat position, it makes the first firing shot, after which it takes aim at the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).

In order to keep the crew and vehicle safe during the tasks, there are air observation posts along the perimeter that can target enemy unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with special guns.

"Their drones have this place as a roadway," said a tank commander with the call sign Evil.

During one of the combat sorties, the AFU drones hit a T-90M tank. The mechanic-driver with the call sign Robin had his arm torn off, but he still drove the crew out of the target zone. The fighter is now in the hospital.

"While we were pulling him out, the attacks continued - there were cluster, artillery shells of different types <...> throughout this time the attack continued," said the commander of the tank platoon with the call sign Podhvat.

Earlier, on November 19, servicemen of the self-propelled artillery regiment of the 4th tank division of the "West" group of troops told about combat work in Kharkiv region.

The special operation to protect Donbass, the start of which was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was made against the backdrop of the worsening situation in the region.
