Immediately after the tank passes over the trench, the soldier must bend down, then turn around and quickly throw a mock-up anti-tank grenade at its rear where the engine compartment is located. The exercise aimes to help defeat the fear of tanks and other armored combat vehicles. It’s imperative that the soldier act without delay once the tank crosses the trench.
Most of the guys shown here have combat experience. Some of them had previous training of that sort and so they keep calm when encountering heavy vehicles. Those who have no such experience quickly learn to the level of their more seasoned counterparts. They are definitely ready to go to battle next to their armored fighting vehicles and to destroy armored vehicles of the enemy.
