In modern conflicts, the concentration tanks to conduct a massive attack has become problematic due to the fact that clusters of equipment are extremely vulnerable to missile and artillery strikes. MBT has actually turned into a means of infantry fire support - it either rushes ahead of the shooters, suppressing enemy firing points (with subsequent withdrawal), or is placed in defensive formations to contain the enemy in the most vulnerable areas.
In Ukraine, as part of a special operation of the RF Armed Forces, a similar picture is observed. However, this does not exclude the possibility of meeting "unfriendly" tanks on the battlefield. One of these fights was caught on video. The Battle Sailor telegram channel posted footage of the battle between the Russian T-80BV MBT and the Ukrainian T-64BV, which took place in the south of Donbass near Vuhledar, in the Pavlovka area.
The battle is fought in a forest plantation, which served as a shelter for the tank of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Ukrainian car "swings", moving back and forth and trying to target the T-80BV marines. The Russian tank with a swift throw went to the edge of the forest, approaching the target, and hit it with one shot. By this time, another MBT came to the aid of the Marines, however, his help was not needed.
