In an official statement, the brigade detailed the events leading to this achievement:
“The Rosomakha tankers managed to capture this ‘technological marvel’ in nearly operational condition. The tank led a large-scale attack by the occupants, which ended in a complete failure for them. The T-90 crew abandoned their state-of-the-art machine on the battlefield and simply fled.”
The statement continued, highlighting the soldiers’ courage: “Our driver-mechanic took the risk to reach the gray area to fetch the tank and returned with it. Additionally, later on, the agile Rosomakhas managed to capture two more units of enemy armored vehicles – one T-80 and one BMP-2.”
The brigade concluded with a message of determination: “Now, these trophies will ruthlessly destroy their former owners!”
This equipment was likely captured during the brigade’s defensive battles towards Pokrovsk, where the enemy utilized tanks and infantry fighting vehicles in assault operations. All armored vehicles were protected by special anti-drone ‘grids.’
This capture represents a significant victory for the 68th Brigade, showcasing their ability to confront and overcome enemy forces, even equipped with the most advanced military technology.
