Russia's 'Tank-Killers' Prepare to Combat Western Armor in Ukraine
Russia is assembling and training anti-tank units, dubbed "tank hunters," to counter Ukraine's Western-supplied armor. The anti-tank units will reportedly be equipped with guided missile launchers and reconnaissance drones. Ukraine has already received powerful German and British tanks, and American Abrams tanks are set to arrive by this fall. The Russian "tank hunters" are being trained by veteran instructors and will likely use 9M133 Kornet anti-tank systems. The move indicates that Moscow is seriously worried about the tanks the West is sending to Ukraine.
