A Russian T-90A tank seized by the Ukrainian Defense Forces was observed in the United States.
The photo showcasing the combat vehicle was posted on Reddit.
The aggressors lost their T-90A tank during conflicts last year.
The shared images depict the tank situated on a platform intended for transporting equipment.
Based on the comments accompanying the image, the trophy Russian T-90A model from 2004 was photographed in the state of Louisiana, USA.
As reported by the information portal “Tysk,” this tank belonged to the 27th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade of the Russian Federation’s Armed Forces, which participates in a full-scale war against Ukraine as part of the Russian invasion forces.
This tank was captured by the 92nd Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on September 25, 2022.
The capture occurred in the village of Kurylivka, Kupiansk district of the Kharkiv region.
The circumstances of the Russian tank’s arrival in the USA remain unclear. This T-90A is presumed to be exhibited at a showcase that will present to Americans the damaged and seized military equipment that Russia employs in its war of aggression against Ukraine.
The Ukrainian side hosts comparable exhibitions of the destroyed invader equipment in various European countries, and now it appears that a similar display will also be presented in the United States.
The T-90A tank is an upgrade of the Soviet-made T-72B tanks. Its enhancements are designed to significantly improve all combat characteristics of the tank. Serial modifications of the T-90 under index A were produced between 2004 and 2011. The tank was equipped with a B-92S2 engine with a capacity of 1000 hp, an enhanced welded turret of increased stability instead of a cast one, and a 2A46M-5 gun.
The Ukrainian military has published a video featuring a detailed examination of the T-90A, one of the primary battle tanks of the Russian army. Ukrainian servicemen captured the combat vehicle.
