Ukraine forces unit fire anti-tank missiles at a Russian T-80BVM tank in Kharkiv

Aerial video released on May 18 by a Ukrainian military unit operating in Kharkiv shows Ukrainian troops firing anti-tank weapons at a Russian T-80BVM tank north of Pytomnyk, a town just six miles from the Russian border in Kharkiv Oblast.
The video shows a Russian battle tank on a rural road with sparks and smoke emanating from its rear right side, indicating it was already damaged. The tank’s gun fires into a field to its east at unknown targets.
At a T-junction about 1,200 ft (371 meters) up the road, a Ukrainian soldier appears, crouches, and fires a weapon toward the tank.
The tank swivels around and accelerates toward the junction. The soldier retreats into bushes and the tank fires at him, but misses its target.
The tank continues forward and, as it passes through the T-junction, comes under fire to its west before exiting the roadway and into bushes and trees lining the road. It turns its gun around to take another shot at the soldier fleeing to the east, but misses again.
Storyful has not confirmed when the footage was shot. However, heavy fighting was reported in the area throughout the middle of May.Konstantin Nemichev, who heads the Kraken unit of Ukraine’s Azov Battalion, announced the liberation of the town on May 8, but the Ukrainian military said Russian forces were shelling Pytomnyk and other small towns in Kharkiv Oblast over May 14 and 15, and again on Wednesday, May 18, according to Kharkiv regional authorities.
On May 17, Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser at Ukraine’s internal affairs ministry, posted photos on Telegram showing Ukrainian military officials, including the head of the Kharkiv garrison of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Serhiy Melnyk, examining damaged Russian vehicles and ammunition in Pytomnyk. Melnyk documented evidence that Russian forces had used “prohibited weapons,” Gerashchenko said.

In this situation, the tank and crew are actually at a disadvantage. Without infantry support, the tank is a sitting duck, just waiting to be ambushed. Visibility is limited, as seen in the combat action, as the tank narrowly escaped a missed anti-tank missile. Even when caught fire, the tank crew continued to engage enemy troops.

They should be doing the same as azov do in azovstaal, lay down their weapons and surrender. Think, Russia maybe only uses about 10% of their military capacity, meaning they got 90% in reserve. They not been using their best and heavy weapons, they could have used US tactics and carpet bombed everything with large bomber planes and sending in thousand fighter jets at the same time. They also got couple millions soldiers to put in, they uses only 200000 now. They should stop fighting for us nato, save their lives. Ukraine could never beat second largest military, Russia are also World largest nuclear power nation. Russia got over 13000 tanks, more than nato combine.

@@polarvortex3294 What's more, the tank HAD infantry support. The troops in the trench at the start of the video were fellow Russians. It HAD infantry support and went off hunting rocket-armed infantry all on it's own and ended up having to run. Ideally it should have moved back behind the trench forcing the Ukrainians to advance towards the infantry in the trench line in order to keep engaging the tank. Then once both side's infantry were engaged the tank could come back up to support it's own infantry element. Again what I think we're seeing here is the Russian rank-and-file's lack of training. I'm also willing to bet that the tank and infantry element didn't have any form of radio communication with each other to coordinate which is fairly crucial, especially in a situation like this were the unit is in a defensive position and therefor the tank is likely to be buttoned up, cutting off any other communication with the supporting infantry. I wonder if they even HAVE a way of communicating at that small unit level.

[@caleblilly8804]

The thing with a tank isn’t that they are invincible (they never have been and never will be). The main purpose of a tank is to give overwhelming firepower to support an infantry advance. When combined with air superiority and ifv’s it’s a match made in heaven. There are currently no vehicles that can do what tanks do and better. Yes they are expensive but they are hard to kill when proper tactics are involved. The Russians are using vehicles from the Cold War Bc they can’t afford to make better so they just upgrade what they have. The biggest problem with them is the auto loading feature which basically puts a big ring of ammunition in the center of the tank making it so that ammo racks are a death sentence. NATO tanks have blast proof doors to protect the crew in case of an ammo rack. Nothing is perfect and everything will become old and need to be replaced but the old will stick around until something better comes in to replace it. I hope this helped if you do indeed read it🙂
