This is stated on the brigade's Facebook page - Espreso.West reports.

The military man himself is from Volyn, he works as a grenade launcher in the Zakarpattia's Legion.

"I work with different grenade launchers, but most often - with the Swedish hand-held AT4 anti-tank grenade launcher. I mastered it literally in a few minutes, there is nothing complicated here. It was with the AT4 that I destroyed the Russian T-72 tank," Serhiy said.

According to the military, this tank was slightly damaged during the battle, so the crew managed to get out and escape. However, after some time, the scouts saw from the drone that the invaders were returning (apparently they wanted to pull the tank away), and the command ordered them to destroy the target.

"The tank was standing at the edge of the forest, I approached it at a distance of 300 meters and fired. The first grenade ricocheted, flew up and exploded. The second shot turned out to be successful - the grenade exploded just under the turret of the tank. The target was destroyed," - the grenade launcher of the 128th brigade emphasized.
