After the invasion of Ukraine on February 24, the Russian army withdrew from the Kharkiv region in the northeast, which had been occupied all along, seems to have left its newest main tank, the T-90M.

On the 18th (local time), the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine wrote on its official Twitter, “Russian state-of-the-art tank T-90M has been found in the Kharkiv region” and “in perfect condition”.

It is known that the Russian military has only regarding 100 T-90Ms, which cost 6.3 billion won per unit.

The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense also released photos taken inside and outside the tank.

External photos show the tank lying in the woods covered in camouflage cloth. The fabric covering the tank is engraved with a white ‘Z’. It means Russian tank.

The interior photos are of the transmission and various buttons for tank adjustment.

Ukraine’s defense ministry even taunted the tank’s owner, saying, “I want the owner of this tank to contact the Ukrainian military” and “raise a white flag to reveal his identity.”

Therefore, if the claim of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense is true, it can be interpreted that the tank was not taken care of as the Russian army quickly retreated.

Meanwhile, it was discovered that Russian forces committed atrocities, including electric torture and murder, in Kharkiv, a region recently restored by Ukrainian forces.
