The Russian state-of-the-art T-90 Breakthrough tank, often highlighted in Kremlin propaganda for its effectiveness, was rendered useless after it became trapped in a crater, leading Russian forces to abandon it.
Ukraine's 47th Mechanized Brigade demonstrated in a video how a routine shell hole unexpectedly incapacitated the highly touted Russian armor. "Either the Russians somehow failed to notice it, or they simply overestimated the tank's capabilities, the result was clear: the tank was immobilized," the brigade shared.
Upon realizing that the T-90 could no longer "break through," the crew abandoned the tank and retreated to safety, cautious of approaching Ukrainian drones.
Following the incident, one of the tank crew members sustained injuries, and the tank was left destroyed.
