The herds performed the technique of fire prevention, a maneuver that combines offensive movement with successive shots against simulated targets. They also trained the use of hidden shooting positions where terrain and fortifications are utilized to increase protection and reaction ability.
The meaning of T-90m “Proryv”
The T-90m is considered the most advanced tank in the service of the Russian army. It is a modernized version of T-90, equipped with relatively reactive armor, updated fire management system, active protection against armor missiles and a 125 mm cannon that can fire different types of ammunition, including controlled missiles.
Despite these technological improvements, the T-90m has slightly huge losses on the battlefield, especially due to Ukraine’s massive use of Kamikaze and FPV drones. Independent reports and open source analyzes indicate that dozens of units have already been destroyed or severely damaged by drone attacks, which reveals the vulnerability even in the most modern tanks in the drone’s warfare.
Strategic context
Military analysts interpret the latest exercises as an attempt to increase herds’ survivability and adapt the use of armored vehicles to today’s reality, where unmanned air threats have become one of the biggest challenges for mechanized forces.
