Happy Tank Forces Day! Thank you to the crews and specialists who maintain and repair equipment. Military skill requires knowledge, attention to detail and the daily work of many people. We wish you reliable equipment, endurance and support from those around you. May you return to those waiting for you at home. We honour the memory of Ukraine’s fallen tank personnel.
