Advanced Russian tank footage released (VIDEO)

The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage featuring the T-90M ‘Proryv’ main battle tank, one of the most advanced in Russia’s arsenal, during practice at a training range.

The video published on Friday was shot in the Leningrad Region in northwestern Russia, according to the ministry. It showed the tanks firing while in motion and from stationary positions.

A statement said crews practiced hitting targets at a range of up to 5,000 meters, which simulated enemy armor, personnel, and aircraft. Other parts of the exercise tested drivers’ skills in traversing obstacles, maintaining their tanks, and loading them onto railway platforms for transportation, it added.
