The fighters of the 49th Brigade of the Support Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine breached the Russian border during the Kursk operation. At that time, their German armored engineering machine Wisent was smashing the Russian 'dragon's teeth' that were meant to stop our armored vehicles. This information was disseminated by the online publication 'Glavkom' in the story 'Army TV'.

According to the sergeant major of the 49th brigade, Volodymyr, the machine is simple and reliable, easy to manage – like a passenger car. Volodymyr jokes that the Wisent is so comfortable that he would drive it around the city.

The maximum speed of the engineering machine is 62 km per hour. The fighters reported that the Wisent withstands hits from FPV and 'Lancets,' and has proven to be a reliable and powerful weapon in combat conditions.



The paratroopers also demonstrated how they fight in a two-story tank with various equipment. Their Challenger 2, the main battle tank of the third generation of Great Britain, weighing 78 tons, has become a necessary element of their military tactics.



The fighters of the 33rd Mechanized Brigade are also actively training to overcome water obstacles on their Leopard tanks. This is necessary preparation to be ready to swim across rivers and lakes in real combat conditions.
