“Waste Of Funds...” Russia Seizes Ukraine’s Dual Turret, Anti-Tank Missiles-Equipped ‘Azovets’ Tank

Russian forces captured a revolutionary innovation of the Ukrainian military, ‘Azovets’, amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. According to a Russian video, the heavy armoured fighting vehicle was broken down and buried when they found it. The Russian military came across a missing Ukrainian ‘Azovets’ vehicle in Mariupol and dug it up, said a Russian official. Azovets is a modified T-64 tank and was advertised as a breakthrough in urban armoured design. Watch the video to find out more.

[@selvammaniamawasi697]

Crux is lying about the number, 65 km per hour speed is a lie 😂 the T 64 tank is welded with extra metal and increase the weight from 40 to 50 ton. And the engine capacity is only 700 HP which means it will crawl at pedestrian speed. The modification cost USD 5 million dollars, not including the price of the T 64 tank 😂 5 million dollars is very good profits consider welding metal sheet and using China made house door camera for vision 😂 See Patrick Lancaster video for full details. Crux is useless.

[@user-oy5mm3pb2g]
