A Russian T-72 "Ural" tank withstood hits from 40 enemy FPV drones in battle, but was able to continue fighting. The repair unit replaced the damaged "internals" on the armored vehicle and sent it back to the front line.
According to the head of the site, Andrey, the most frequent damage to tanks is cumulative penetration. "Heavy" vehicles are brought to the points, where the wiring is burned or the landing brackets are destroyed.
There are record holders, with several dozen hits. One "Tsar-mangal" based on an old T-72 had about 40 drones fly into it! We assembled it completely, shook out the entire transmission from there, replaced everything from the very bottom, installed everything. And it drove off!
The modernized T-72 tank is an improved version of the most popular main battle tank of its generation, developed in the early 1970s.
