The crews of the T-90M Proryv tanks, and the operators of small-size unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from the Central Military District (CMD) have attended a joint training in the rear area of the special military operation.

CMD Command emphasises that this kind of tactics, that allows highly mobile and well-protected tank units to conduct real-time observation with drones, considerably increases the precision and rapidity of target neutralisation.
