Don't Tell Putin: Ukraine Captured Russia's Elite T-90M Tank

Ukrainian Soldiers Capture One of Russia’s Most Advanced Tanks, the T-90M: Video footage shared on social media this week shows Ukrainian soldiers with a captured Russian T-90M tank, one of the more recent and advanced pieces of Russian machinery to be deployed in Ukraine.




The video footage shows Ukrainian soldiers wearing full combat gear and holding guns, standing in front of the tank and raising their fists to suggest victory.
The video, which was shared on Telegram and later republished on Twitter by the English language war tracker account, Ukraine Weapons Tracker, is only seconds long but reveals how Russian forces are still losing equipment as they are forced to retreat in regions that Putin claimed to have annexed in September.

“Another example of the most advanced Russian tank deployed in Ukraine, the T-90M, was captured by the Ukrainian army in the East,” the account writes.

What is the T-90M?

The T-90M is one of Russia’s most advanced and modern tanks. The first model was publicly unveiled in 2017, with a number of major improvements over the original T-90 tank.

Ukrainian Army captured a NEW T-90 back in Sept. Abandoned because (it appears) it popped a track and the crew, probably under fire, had to scat.

U.S. Armor Center is going to have a field day with this one!

Since then the UK army has captured more T-90’s and - put them back into service against the Russians!

That big, strong and very mighty Military of Russia's was nothing but a lie all along. All of their military budget went to 10-20 people: puti & to russian oligarchs who stayed on extraagent spending sprees or they outright money laundered those billions and trillions. Yeah, the military complex is a mess here in our country with the overruns and waste, but I'm not talking about the US right now.


Look at those old, worn out tanks. We know where all of that money went to buy equipment for the russian military forces. No one ever told puti that his military was basically in a shambles, for fear of accidently slipping out of a window, or wearing undies loaded with Novichok, or you know, committing suicide then climbing up into the trunk of their cars while hog-tied, and then closing the back of the trunk down on themselves

The toys and trinkets that were bought thanks to russian military money divided up between a few oligarhs and the ring leader of the smash and grab operation, puti .....
