The Ukrainian "Stugna" destroyed the occupiers' tank from a record distance - 5.3 km (VIDEO)

The anti-tank gunners of the 80th separate amphibious assault brigade set a new record by hitting a Russian tank from the Stugna at a distance of 5.3 km.

This was reported in the Telegram channel of the Command of the Airborne Assault Troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In total, the brigade unit has 29 units of battered Russian armored vehicles. Of them, 17 are tanks, the rest are BMP, BMD and APC.

"And the maximum impression of the target by anti-tankers was made at a distance of 5,300 m (!), which significantly exceeds the effective maximum firing range of the anti-tank missile system," the paratroopers said.

According to the soldier who participated in the destruction of the tank at a record distance, there was no awareness of the exact distance when the rocket was launched: the fighters simply saw the enemy and decided to work on the target.
