Ukrainian forces delivered an important blow against Russian military, taking down one of their most advanced tanks – T-90M Proryv using modern Bonus artillery shell. This event highlights Russia’s ongoing difficulties defending itself in response to Ukrainian attacks against its armored vehicles fleet.
Destruction of T-90M Tank Vladimir Putin once described Russia’s T-90M Proryv tank as the best in the world; yet on battlefield conditions its vulnerability was exposed. Despite its advanced design and formidable capabilities, its T-90M has become a high-profile target of Ukrainian forces; in one such engagement in Zaporizhzhia it was struck down by an artillery shell from Ukrainian artillery unit using Bonus rounds – leading to its complete destruction and further revealing how effective Ukrainian artillery has proven itself against Russian troops’ ongoing struggles over recent months. Ukrainian news portal Militarny covered this story extensively by showing its aftermath and underscoring ongoing struggles faced by both parties involved – Russian as well as Ukrainian media coverage provided more insight than before into events surrounding such strikes through Ukrainian media reporting of what took place after it happened by showing pictures showing its destruction at hand on Ukrainian news portal Militarny news portal Militarny coverage showed by showing exactly where bonus shell struck, with Militarny showing evidence of Ukrainian artillery artillery has proven effective military tactics while showing also its vulnerability on battleground.
Advanced Artillery from Sweden
The T-90M Proryv is fitted with Relikt reactive armor designed to defend against small projectiles and kamikaze drones; however, its effectiveness against powerful artillery shells like Sweden’s FFV Bofors Ordnance’s 155mm Bonus round proves less successful when faced with powerful artillery rounds such as its Bonus artillery shell (produced at approximately one km above its target, opening up roughly 1km upstream before dispensing two self-guided anti-tank submunitions each weighing 6.5kg deploy stabilizers for accurate descent before activating its infrared sensors at 150 meters before impact with its target.)
Bonus shells have an approximate range of 25 km and allow Ukrainian forces to engage Russian targets from safe distance, minimising counterattack risk. Their strategic advantage highlights Ukrainian efforts against and neutralization of Russian military assets in ongoing conflict situations.
Vulnerabilities of the T-90M
The T-90M features offensive capabilities including a 125mm smoothbore gun combined with Kalina fire control system for fire management, powered by an engine producing 1,000 horsepower to enable speeds up to 65km/h. However, its defenses were insufficient against advanced Swedish artillery used by Ukrainian forces; their destruction demonstrated how vulnerable even advanced military technology is against modern artillery systems used by Ukrainian military and also demonstrated their tactical prowess when employing such technologies effectively.
Broader Implications
This event highlights the difficulties Russian forces are encountering during this conflict. Continuous Ukrainian attacks have consistently frustrated Russia’s attempts at replenishing military vehicle losses with fresh reinforcements from Moscow. The success of Bonus artillery shell against T-90M Proryv stands as testament to both Ukraine’s strategic and technological capabilities, as well as to their superior use on battlefield dynamics in future fighting engagements.
Ukrainian forces’ destruction of a T-90M Proryv tank marks an important development in their ongoing conflict, underscoring both advanced artillery and the strategic challenges presented to Russian military. This incident serves as a timely reminder of modern warfare’s ever-evolving nature and technological superiority’s vital role in reaching tactical and strategic objectives.
