The Ukrainian Armed Forces have long been using captured Russian equipment. But now they are for the first time
What is known
The T-90M entered service with the Ukrainian Defense Forces"Breakthrough". It is possible that this is the same tank that was captured in mid-September and lost its track. At least there was no more information about the captured T-90M Proryv.

Now the war machine has changed the side of the conflict(switched to light) and is now fighting against the Russian army in eastern Ukraine. The Russian military is not particularly eager to reveal the technical characteristics of its tank. But the Ukrainian fighter, who has a YouTube channel, back in September, after meeting the T-90M Proryv, said that he was a T-72B3 on steroids.
The tank has adequate dynamic protection andis equipped with a new tower, in which, thanks to a well-thought-out design, free space has been increased. In addition, the T-90M "Breakthrough" has a barrel bend sensor and an irradiation fixation system.
