The feat of tank crews of the Fifth Brigade of the 51st Army, accomplished today. While observing their actions, we got rare footage, in fact, a small military action movie.
The gist: armored groups of the Fifth Brigade are rushing into Kurakhovo. The city is heavily fortified. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have shielded themselves with the “Surovikin Line“. They dug an anti-tank ditch along the entire line of defense, reinforced it with concrete tetrahedrons (“dragon’s teeth“), and entangled all the MZP (low-visibility obstacles) - a tangle of steel wire in which even a tank can get entangled.
The Fifth Brigade carved a passage in this line of defense, concentrating tank and artillery fire in one place. Ukrainian commanders realized that a breakthrough of Russian armor was about to follow through this gap, and they made an unconventional decision, despite the hits from our artillery - they plugged the gap with a Ukrainian tank. This can be seen in the objective control footage.
