For the first time, the russians simultaneously lost three most modern T-90M Proryv tanks in a single combat episode. This occurred during the attempt to break through the defense of Ukrainian forces near Bakhmut.
The battle with enemy armored vehicles took place near the village of Andriivka, not far from Klishchiivka.

Volunteer Yuriy Misyagin shared a video showing the abandoned tanks and told the details of the episode.
The battle took place on August 13 when the russians attempted to attack Ukrainian positions with tanks to cover the landing of paratroopers on armored vehicles.
The enemy's plan was aimed at rapid advancement under the cover of fire. However, with the help of UAV operators, the enemy's movement was detected in advance, and the target's coordinates were transmitted to artillery units. Ukrainian military not only halted the enemy's advance but also inflicted significant losses on the russians.
As a result, the tank platoon on the T-90M Proryv was effectively disabled. Additionally, the video showed two more armored vehicles, one of which, as indicated in the post, was an MT-LB armored vehicle carrying troops.
It is difficult to Identify the other vehicle due to the low quality of the video. It's possible that it's the Tunguska self-propelled air defense system. Although it's not excluded that it might have been destroyed earlier.
Meanwhile, the story involving these tanks might have a continuation. Since the enemy is likely to attempt evacuating the damaged vehicles for repair. And this could lead to repeats of the episode with the successful hunt for the BMPT "Terminator" combat vehicle. Then, Ukrainian soldiers not only destroyed the rare enemy vehicle but also hit another tank and an armored recovery vehicle (ARV).
