Dmytro Zhyvytskyy, the Head of the military administration in Sumy region was also confirmed this information
The open-source information gives grounds to believe that the Russian Federation has only manufactured a single experimental tank T-80UM2 Black eagle.
This combat vehicle was equipped with a Drozd active protection system, which Russia claims is "unique and undefeatable". However, apparently this unique system didn't pass a reality check, meaning it was unable to protect the vehicle against the Javelin man-portable surface-to-air missile or the unmanned combat aerial vehicle Bayraktar TB2.
Russians claimed T-80UM2 Black eagle to be an experimental combat vehicle, a predecessor of Armata. The fact that the enemy was forced to use such a unique and underdeveloped vehicle in combat proves the catastrophic numbers of combat vehicles lost by the occupation forces.
Defense Express has previously stated that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have captured enough enemy tanks in combat to fully equip at least three mechanized brigades.
