Where did the SSU fighters destroy the most tanks of the Russian Federation?
It is noted that the most significant amount of enemy armoured vehicles was destroyed during fierce battles in the Donetsk and Kharkiv regions.
Using heavy armored vehicles, the aggressor often tried to break through the positions of the Ukrainian defenders and provide cover for the assault groups of the occupiers. In addition, the enemy regularly engaged tank formations to carry out attacks on the fortified areas of the Defence Forces in Zaporizhzhia, the SSU statement notes.
In order to destroy Russian armored vehicles by fire, the SSU conducted effective combat operations together with units of the Armed Forces.
It is indicated that the maximum arsenal of armor-piercing weapons and unmanned systems was used against enemy tanks.
A large number of Russian armoured vehicles were hit at the initial stages of the offensive - before they went out to storm Ukrainian positions. Some of the tanks were destroyed along with their crews, says the SSU.
