Footage of a duel of Russian and Ukrainian tanks during the battles in the Donbas appeared on the Web

Tank the duel of Russian and Ukrainian tanks took place on one of the sections of the line of contact and was filmed from drone. The footage of this battle was posted on Russian Internet resources.

According to available data, the battle involving three Russian tanks and two Ukrainian ones took place on one of the sectors of the front in the Donbass, where it was not disclosed exactly. The date of the battle is also unknown, but judging by the video, it is either the end of autumn, or already winter, judging by the weather.

Russian tank crews played out a bait-fishing scenario where one of the tanks, having previously left the road, took cover in a forest area, ready to open fire on the enemy as soon as his position was opened. Two other Russian tanks continued to move and slowed down in front of the alleged location of Ukrainian tanks, diverting attention from the ambush, playing the role of live bait.

One of the three tanks advances from the asphalt road to the country road and drives up to the forest belt. Two other tanks are moving along the asphalt road and distract the attention of two tanks, which are located in another forest belt

- the Russian soldier comments on the situation.

A Ukrainian tank camouflaged in a forest belt opened fire on two Russian tanks, thereby revealing its position and immediately received a couple of shells from a Russian third tank in an ambush. According to available information, the tank of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was hit, after which the Russian vehicles advanced towards their positions. The battle was fought at a distance of about 500 meters, which is very close for tanks.

A tank duel is very difficult, very dangerous and, to be honest, very scary, because the tank duel took place at a distance of less than 500 meters. Our tank crew was more successful here, hitting the enemy. A smart tactic was chosen

- leads RIA News words of the Russian military.

To realize that you got the role of live bait somehow brrr. Knowing that at least one gun is pointed at you now. Heroes guys. The ambush did not let us down, planted at the most do not indulge.

Only one thing is clear that those who distracted went without BC. The fire was not opened. But it’s also not pleasant to get a shell

Why is this such a conclusion. A couple of tanks roll along the line of contact without BC. Why is that?

Judging by the video - Option 2
1. Tanks on the road do not shoot because they stupidly do not see enemy tanks due to the small area between them with trees in the field and therefore cannot support their bypassing comrade, who alone went out to 2 tanks, if something went wrong so.
2. There is no BC so that the tower does not take off, as it is written above, if suddenly they fired at the bait from an ambush and hit the side, in the projection of the BC, and they rode sides ...
Both deserve a good broken glass enema for the organizers of this lottery where everything was based on luck.

I am sure that you go hunting without cartridges.

[Andrey Yuryevich]

beautiful, professional...but I still don't want to be a tanker.))) Alex TV, hello!

[potap6509]

And without a gun, and out of the car does not. The gun will be lost, the car will be stolen. Something like this.

[Catfish]

As in the old joke: "We don't take the political officer with us, we don't get off the bus."

[Machete]

And why is everyone riding without cover?
I understand, a duel, this and that, but ours and ukrovs could be put down by enemy ATGM infantrymen.

It looks like our drone orientated with the situation. And they rode perky, targeted ... and back. The second one was not pursued.
Ah, the risk of war...

This is if on the offensive (or in the defense of positions), yes there. There is infantry.
And if the battle is in a neutral zone, without further development? Landing with you to take on the armor? It will shake at high speed, they will melt on bumps. And how to select a landing? If the enemy is experienced, artillery is already brought here, and it is necessary to retreat very quickly after the battle. And if the armor is knocked down, the landing will be without cover in the neutral zone.

[Hanurik]

With such reasoning, do not be surprised that we do not have enough tanks and the T62 is being put into operation. The commanders simply do not know how to use tanks, and the higher command does not know how to control the troops and ensure the interaction of the military branches. That's why there is a stupid meat grinder like the first world. Ukrainians cannot break through ours, ours can, but they do not know how.

[Machete]

It probably was. Although, we do not know all the moments.

[28st region]

How do we know all the details. They are not somewhere in some called space, this is the front. Somewhere there were infantry and ATGMs. They don't work on camera.

I recalled the Soviet film 1983 "The crew of the combat vehicle"

The film shows tank duel on the eve of the Battle of Kursk.
Didn't look? - Be sure to check it out.

[Luka Nord]

A risky tactic of course, but well done guys ..!

In fact, it turns out - they assessed the situation professionally ... and acted accordingly

[Andron78]

Such duels should be punished. With an unpredictable result, 2 tanks and 6 personnel were brought under attack. The non-fraternal tanker would have been more trained, and the coffins would have gone in our direction. Hooliganism of pure water.

[Gekki66]

I agree, but not 100%. Winners are not judged!

[Fan-fan]

500 meters, it's good that there was no enemy infantry with Javelin or Stugna. They took a big risk, but ours were lucky. Although a strange tactic is to substitute your two tanks to reveal the position of the enemy tank.

[Nyrobsky]

Well done guys, hats off. To know that at any moment you yourself can fly and consciously take risks, acting as a bait, not for everyone in spirit and strength.

[Yaro Polk]

and the second fascist ... did not have time to knock out?

[Anatoly Proskurin]

Strange maneuvers. I'm talking about ours. They could have planted from the ATGM earlier. I'm talking about ukrov. Could. It looks like a staging. Why? The duel is like a parade. A distance of 400m, so that Kumys would shoot EXACTLY in contact with a dummy ukr ... Such films are needed, but not so clumsily made, so more harm is obtained ...

[Ratibor_A]

You have trolls, where ours win, all the time staging, and where a Khokhlobabka knocks down Iskander with a jar of cucumbers, then this is true ...

[Anatoly Proskurin]

I thought about writing to your resume, addressed to me, or philosophically treating the black-and-white conclusions of a maximalist teenager. I decided to answer, because people like you are cheers with a bottle of beer on the couch, with a certificate of a threesome from school, a fan of RUSSIAN FOOTBALL ( not because it is Russian, but because nonentities play it), it is you who are the greatest enemy and accomplice of the ukrovs I hate! Why do I not have the right to call modern films about the war trash and lies? After all, these films are made and played by those who have not even been in the army and will NEVER get into the army !!! Why do you believe those who convinced us that we have the second army in the world, but in fact we are fighting like in the Patriotic War with tanks, machine guns and artillery? Yes, we are fighting worse than our grandfathers and great-grandfathers. Our soldiers do not have modern equipment and ELEMENTARY - armor and helmets! I HAVE NO RIGHT now to trust those who deceived me, otherwise it's idiocy!... But you seem to believe as before? In fairy tales? ... I believed the same! But facts are a stubborn thing! ... And one more thing. People hate most of all the worthless gods and idols that were worshiped and THAT DECEIVED THEM.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

yes, the whole video is some kind of nonsense ... if it’s literate, then
-there is the presence of aerial reconnaissance, which would reveal positions .. which was done
-there are tanks that have a KUV Invar that naughty up to 6 km, and there is also an OF-36 that doesn’t even need to fly into the size
and no living creatures

[iouris]

Duels are not tanks, but tank crews. And Soviet tanks.

[A009]

The road sign was broken.

[Introvert]

The tankers are certainly great, but the implementation ... as always, through one place ... did everything from the "how not to do" list
What had to be done was to cover the discovered positions with artillery, if you already have a drone hanging there and you can adjust the fire

[Nitten]

Unclear. In the video, the tank leaves the road to the right. Moreover, the next picture shows that the enemy is on the left. Did he give a fucking hook in an arc? And managed to go almost from the rear? I mean, the comments on the picture of the battle do not quite reflect the fighting itself. The halls had two tanks, one type was knocked out, where is the second? In general, most of the facts of video recording of victories on our part are very unconvincingly filmed. You have to believe more. Class options - discovered, struck, destroyed. In the picture, a launch-shot, something exploded somewhere, cheers. So, according to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, about 40 HIMARS were destroyed. Not a single intelligible video with a clear fixation of the destruction. Okay, there is nothing from the Ukrainians and there won’t be - there is a strict taboo from mattresses. But it seems that at the request of sworn friends, there are also no publications from our side, so as not to offend nudes. Otherwise, sales will fall. Some kind of agreements .....

[mmaxx]

Without knowing the details it is difficult to judge and reason. One thing is clear: our plus is an experienced crew that has known the taste of victory. The enemy has minus crew. 2:0 in our favor.
