Russia's most advanced tank in service was obliterated by Ukraine just days after it was deployed, according to reports

The T-90M, one of the country's most advanced tanks in service, was destroyed just days after it was deployed to Ukraine.

A picture of a charred vehicle was posted by a Ukrainian journalist on Wednesday.

The destroyed vehicle is "smokin' hot", joked the man in the photo, as he stood in front of the ruined tank.

Russian troops tried to regain the territory but failed, according to a journalist. The scraps of Russia's destroyed tank will be displayed in a parade in May.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine confirmed the destruction of the T-90 in a Thursday statement.

The image of the Russian army, which many in the world feared, has degraded and fallen over the past two months to such an extent that few could have imagined it, the statement said.

Newsweek reported on April 25 that the machine was in eastern Ukraine.

The tank was hit by a missile system from the US, according to the Defense Ministry. An infantry fighting vehicle and an armored personnel carrier were destroyed in the attack.

The missile system turned a super-modern Russian tank into a pile of scrap metal, according to the Defense Ministry.

The most technologically advanced battle vehicle within Russia's frontline arsenal is the T-90M tank, which was first issued to Russian military divisions in the spring of 2020. About 100 models are currently in service, according to the outlet.

The T-14 Armeta is newer than the T-90M, but still in production.

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry said the T-90M has a powerful engine, panoramic sight, and a fire control 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 888-353-1299 According to the ministry, the new design features multi-layer armor and ammunition outside the unit. The tank can fire at any time of the day.

The T-90M, which is already seen as the first confirmed loss of a tank of this type in Ukraine, did not seem to have been helped by all these upgrades.

Last month, Russia suffered another embarrassment after its Black Sea flagship sank after being hit by a Ukrainian missile.
