The crews of the armored vehicles performed the technique of the advance of fire, a maneuver that combines offensive movement and subsequent shots against simulated targets. In addition, they trained the use of covered shooting positions, exploiting the ground and fortifications to increase protection and response capacity.
Importanza del T-90M “Proryv”
Considered the most advanced tank on duty in the Russian army, the T-90m is a modernized version of the T-90, equipped with reactive Relikt armor, updated fire control system, active protection against anti-tank missiles and 125 mm cannon capable of shooting different types of ammunition, including guided missiles.
However, despite the technological improvements, the T-90m has undergone heavy leaks on the battlefield, mainly due to the massive use of kamikaze drones and Ukrainian FPVs. Independent relationships and open source intelligence analysis indicate that dozens of units have already been destroyed or seriously damaged by air -free air attacks, revealing the vulnerability even of the most modern floats in the face of war with drones.
Strategic context
Military analysts interpret recent exercises as an attempt to increase the survival of crews and adapt the use of armored vehicles to current reality, in which the threat of drones represents one of the main challenges for mechanized forces.
