The mineclearing vehicle was destroyed near the village of Mariinka in the Donetsk region.

Russians converted the T-62 tank to assault Ukrainian positions. The turret was removed from the tank and the frame was welded onto the hull, which was sheathed with sheets of metal to protect the vehicle from FPV-drones and other threats, in particular, ATGM.

Also, a KMT-7 track-wide sweep was installed on the vehicle to pass through minefields, thus opening the way for other armored vehicles that drive behind when trying to assault Ukrainian positions.

The propaganda of the invaders stated that this converted tank had allegedly withstood more than one hit of anti-tank guided missiles and other weapons.

However, the published video from the Ukrainian military says that this vehicle still could not withstand the strikes of FPV-drones and was destroyed.

Recently, paratroopers of the 79th Air Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed 11 units of enemy equipment in just one attempt to storm the invaders of the Ukrainian positions near Novomykhaylivka.
