Russia suffers an embarrassing setback in the war in Ukraine: two tanks badly damaged by their own mines. Ukrainian troops attack.
Kharkiv – In an unfortunate oversight, Russian troops reportedly damaged two of their tanks so badly with their own mines that they became easy targets for a Ukrainian unit on the ground. Soldiers say the incident took place near the eastern city of Kharkiv. Such incidents are not uncommon in the Ukraine conflict. Only recently Russian intelligence shot down its own fighter jet over Ukraine.
Russia has an accident and destroys two of its own tanks – Ukrainian soldiers take advantage of the situation
A group of Ukrainian players calling themselves the “Peaky Blinders” reported the incident on Telegram and YouTube. Soldiers share their daily life in the war in Ukraine and their experiences on social media, such as the fighting in Kharkiv. “A T90 main battle tank and a brand new 3M infantry fighting vehicle blew themselves up in anti-tank mines,” the group said in a telegram on Tuesday (October 3), releasing photos of the incident. A T90 tank drove over a mine and was heavily damaged by the explosion of several mines, while a 3M armored personnel carrier triggered a mine and lost one of its tracks. Both types of tanks are manufactured in Russia.
This caused annoying damage to Russia, but it can usually be fixed quickly. “After such damage can [ein Panzer] It was fixed without any problems,” the statement continued. But in this case it should not come to that. A Ukrainian unit quickly arrived at the site and took advantage of the situation to finally destroy the tanks: “The fighters of the Sharp Hots group did an excellent job and the tank lost its turret.”
Russia’s tanks destroyed by their own mines in Ukraine war: “happens often”
The informants did not specify when the incident took place. The information has yet to be independently confirmed. The photos released by the force only show aerial views of two different tanks. While one of them appears to be damaged, the other is completely destroyed. The players announced that they will release a video of the successful mission soon.
In connection with the destruction of Russian tanks, the soldiers made it clear that such accidents happen again and again – not only on the Russian side. “It happens often, unfortunately on both sides,” admits the force. Since the Ukrainian offensive began in June, both sides have repeatedly fought hard and suffered heavy casualties.
