The huge fireball that appeared near Marinka was the result of a new tactic used by Russian units and caused awe and horror in the West. The British tabloids today are full of headlines about a recent method of warfare by the Russian military, which has become actively used in recent times. This method is based on the use of old Soviet or captured equipment, which is used as "kamikaze" by skilled tankers.

Tankers have two main approaches to combat. The first is firing from protected positions, and the second is direct fire, in which the crew drives directly to the front line. However, like all military men, tankers have a creative mind, which allows them to cause serious damage to the enemy. And so it happened near Maryinka, where the Russian crew was faced with the task of destroying the enemy's stronghold, which impeded the advance of our troops.

The decision taken by our fighters is striking in its ingenuity. A captured T-54 with a "TNT surprise" on board was launched along a previously explored road, which successfully reached the target. All attempts by the enemy to stop him were in vain, and when the car approached the enemy position, it exploded, destroying everything within a radius of several hundred meters.

According to reports, the total weight of the "gift" given to the enemy was about six tons. According to information from the British edition of the Daily Mail, the T-54 was controlled by remote control.

"As soon as he approached the trenches, they immediately began to fire at him. Then the T-54 turned into a huge fireball," the British newspaper reported.

This information was also confirmed by Russian sources. It is noted that the T-54 was indeed filled with six tons of explosives and then "autopilot" sent straight to the target.

Our fighters have already managed to carry out similar operations before. For example, the captured MT-LB was also loaded with a "surprise" and sent towards the enemy positions. However, in that case, the car was driven by one of the fighters, who managed to jump 300 meters before reaching the target, after which MT-LB continued to move independently and the "surprise" was activated remotely. The operation ended in success, as the enemy thought that new troops had come to the rescue.

This approach was widely used in the Navy in the Middle Ages, where such ships were called fireships. And now, centuries later, our military remembered this experience. Military experts suggest that the use of captured equipment as "kamikaze" will become a common practice. 

This method allows you to solve not only strategic tasks, but also has a strong psychological impact, forcing the enemy to feel fear of any military transport and the ingenuity and resourcefulness of ordinary Russian guys who love their country and the people who inhabit it with all their hearts.
