Steel Savers: After the Battle | RT Documentary

An interview-format film with Dmitry Kazbars, the central figure of RT’s Saving Wounded Steel documentary. He gives a detailed account of his team’s daily work, recovering combat-damaged vehicles.

Sappers have a perilous job, making the way safe for recovery teams. Even in these conditions, Dmitry’s crew manages to bring back a remarkable number of vehicles from the front line. How do they do it?
