Crews of the nomadic T-80 tanks destroying the manpower of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

In the Krasny Liman direction, the crews of T-80 tanks of the Central Military District make a high-speed march to firing positions to hit identified targets by firing along a mounted trajectory. After firing a series of shots, the tank leaves the firing position, moving to the next area, forcing the enemy to reveal itself with return fire, taking bearings using artillery or technical reconnaissance.

The use of T-80 tanks as nomadic fire weapons is due to the characteristics of the combat vehicle's gas turbine engine, which allows it to arrive at positions at high speed almost silently. Also, the tankers of the Central Military District note the high accuracy of the smoothbore 125-mm 2A46 cannon of the combat vehicle and its sighting system, which allows them to hit targets with high efficiency both direct fire and along a mounted trajectory from closed firing positions.
