To ensure the combat operations of mechanized units, the T-72B3 tank crews of the Zapad Battle Group immediately moved to the front line of the defense line and launched a powerful attack, operating according to the provided coordinates, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

The crews of T-72B3 tanks attacked camouflaged Ukrainian positions in the forest belt.

The T-72B tank weighs 44.5 tons, is 6.95m long, over 2.2m high, and has a crew of 3. This is a variant of the legendary T-72 tank, the main tank version that once "made waves" in the Soviet army.

Russian engineers continue to improve the T-72B and upgrade this tank line into many versions with superior combat capabilities such as the T-72B3 or T-90.

The T-72B3 version is said to possess power almost equal to the T-90 super tank when equipped with Relikt explosive reactive armor, advanced fire control system and turbocharged diesel engine.
