The National Guard of Ukraine destroyed a Russian turtle tank. It happened in the Lyman direction, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.

Turtle tank

Russian troops began using the so-called turtle tank at the front. This is a Soviet T-72 that the invaders covered with wood.

Initially, it was assumed that this 'invention' would help the Russian occupiers escape from Russian drones. But Russia failed to achieve the expected effect.

Russia's losses in the war in Ukraine over May 21-22 amounted to 1300 occupants. In addition, the Ukrainian Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed 22 armored combat vehicles and 41 artillery systems.
