Ukrainian military man: We laughed in vain. Old T-55s have become a big plus for the Russian army
Massively used by the Russian army The modernized T-55s are extremely effective as mobile artillery. Deputy commander of a tank company of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleg Andronyak stated this on air on the channel “From Heart to Soul,” PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“T-55s are not that old, we also use them. Moreover, they are modernized, with improved armor and cannon. As far as I know, in Russia they were reactivated to be used as artillery. It's fucking awesome because The tank is very effective as an artillery weapon. Therefore, in the Soviet Union, this technique was generally developed - to operate a tank from closed positions. They have very high accuracy,” said the tanker.
«The fact that the enemy has a bunch of such tanks and shells is only a plus for them. You don’t have to look for a position, drag in a gun, bring a BC. The tank arrived, stood up, aimed, fired, and that’s it. But they were not used directly. Because everyone started: “Now, now they’re going to launch assaults in old tanks.” Nobody attacked them. They still have a lot of T-90 “Proryv”,” Andronyak concluded.
