The 72nd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine brought one of the latest modifications of the BMP-1 near Vuhledar, which, under the name “Basurmanin”, became operational with the Russian army on the eve of the war.
During the battle, the Russian military used T-80BV main battle tanks. Also, for the offensive, the invaders attracted the infantry fighting vehicle BMP-1AM “Basurmanin”, which, after modification, received a 30-mm 2A72 cannon with a combined sight, a 7.62-mm PKTM machine gun and a 902V “Tucha” system.
The fighters of the Black Zaporozhets Brigade managed to neutralize two T-80BV and BMP-1AM tanks and completely destroy another armored vehicle.
