The special forces brigade shot down an American Abrams tank near Avdeyevka during the course of an offensive, Andrei Klychkov, governor of the Oryol region that regularly assists the military, said on his Telegram channel.
"Since the first days of the special operation, we have been interacting [with Russian forces], including fighters of the special purpose brigades. We have recently visited the Third Guards Brigade and presented them with an armored vehicle. Today, they once again distinguished themselves at the front, shooting down an American Abrams [tank] near Avdeyevka," the governor wrote.
Klychkov confirmed that the American tank was knocked out near the town of Berdychi during the ongoing offensive by Battlegroup Tsentr. He mentioned that the servicemen shared a video showing the tank's destruction, and he commended them for their success.
