Happy Tank Forces Day! Behind the armour are people whose knowledge, trust and endurance deserve our gratitude. Thank you for your service and defence of Ukraine. We wish you the equipment you need, support from comrades and good health. May you return to your loved ones waiting at home. We honour the memory of the fallen tank personnel and the work of everyone who supports the units.
