Tankers of the Western Military District in the special operation zone provide fire support to motorized rifle units, ensuring the advance of Russian troops. The fire is controlled using unmanned aerial vehicles. Tankers widely practice shooting from closed firing positions.

“The advantage of the tactic is that the tank can operate like artillery, that is, from a closed position over long distances. In our case, this is a range from seven to nine kms. Another advantage is that it is indirect fire. We work according to coordinates... There is a result,” says the commander of the T-80BV tank with the call sign “Kozak”.

The main thing is good camouflage and crew coordination, the commander is sure.

“Upon arrival, we try to camouflage the tank properly. So that drones from above do not notice us. Everything is as it should be. The main thing is camouflage, competent work, crew coordination. And everything is fine. The guys are friendly, well done. We all understand each other. Everything is as one. The technology doesn’t fail, everything is fine!” – “Kozak” shared.
