The Russian military confused targets and destroyed their newest tank.

Under unknown circumstances, in which representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation are currently trying to figure it out, due to a mistake by the military, the newest Russian T-90 tank was destroyed. According to the data at the disposal of the Avia.pro agency, having received target designation, Russian servicemen destroyed their own combat vehicle, and, according to experts, the missile was not supposed to destroy a heavy tank.

In the presented footage, you can see that the missile fired from the anti-tank missile system could not penetrate the tank's armor, although it did hit exactly, however, the combat vehicle received critical damage - according to sources, the turret turning mechanism, engine, chassis and inside the tank were damaged equipment. Whether the tank can be restored is currently unknown.

“According to some reports, anti-tank missile systems were used during the military exercises, including the Konkurs ATGM with the 9M113M ATGM. On social networks, it is reported that during the exercise, the Konkurs ATGM missile hit a tank involved in the exercise. The photo shows that the combat vehicle was seriously damaged, while there was no armor penetration, but there was obvious damage to the hinged elements of the tank's protection. The network notes that the lateral projection of the tank could have been saved from penetration by a spare parts box. This statement is being actively discussed on the network - on the subject of whether this element is really capable of saving the armor of the tank ", - about it сообщает information publication "Military Review".

It should be noted that a video was previously published, which captured the moment of the strike on the T-90 tank of the Syrian Armed Forces - the latter was practically not damaged - the launched rocket bounced off.
