A Ukrainian tank crew member showed the damage caused to the Ukrainian T-72AMT by Russian shells – Rossiyskaya Gazeta

The ammunition exposed the main armor, as it knocked out the installed dynamic protection. Some sources claim that this was not the previously promoted Ukrainian “Knife”, but the Soviet “Contact-5”.

In addition, the main sight of the gunner-operator was damaged and the status behind it of the 1K13-49 combine, which was developed in Soviet times, is unclear. With its help you can target and guide Kombat anti-tank missiles at night.

An anti-aircraft installation with a 12.7 mm NVST Utes machine gun received several fragments. It is true that it most likely continued to work.

In addition, when it started to retreat, the right track of the tank broke, probably also hit by Russian ammunition.

At the end of November we wrote that the T-72AMT, which had suffered significant losses, would soon be redeployed back to the combat contact line. The damaged tank apparently tried to act from a closed firing position, but our soldiers neutralized it.
