The tankers of the Vostok group of forces support the infantry offensive in the South Donetsk direction

Crews of T-80BVM tanks approach enemy positions at a distance of less than 100 meters, covering assault groups on infantry fighting vehicles.

"While we are driving, we shoot on the move, not letting the enemy stick his head out so that our infantry can get as close as possible," says the tank commander with the call sign "Tiger". "When the stormtroopers begin to dismount, we throw off the smoke screen and move away."

Such support makes assault units virtually invulnerable and minimizes losses in personnel and equipment.
