The tank commander with the call sign "Skripa" noted that his crew mainly performs standard tasks - repelling attacks, defending positions, and inflicting fire damage on enemy equipment clusters.

At the same time, the tanks also operate from a closed firing position, and the vehicles are on duty on a permanent basis.

We are always on a low start. As soon as our unmanned aerial vehicles observe some kind of roll-out of equipment or enemy manpower, it takes literally five minutes - we rush to the position and just smash everything there.
Call sign "Skripa", T-90 tank commander

The T-90 tank is equipped with a V-92 diesel engine with a capacity of about 1000 hp. In order for a tank with such a power plant to start moving at temperatures from 0 to -20°C, it is first necessary to warm up the engine with a special device - a heater - for 20-30 minutes, then start it and warm it up for about 10 minutes at idle speed to a temperature of 40°.

Thus, in winter, it will take a total of 30-40 minutes to start the engine.

Earlier www1.ru reported that Rostec called the unique Mi-35M the most brutal helicopter in the Russian army.
