When they talk about towing tanks, they usually mean the use of armored tracked tractors or special repair evacuation vehicles like the BRAM-1 or the most advanced T-16 in the world.
Also, tanks themselves are often used for this. Sometimes, when it is necessary to rescue a multi-ton car that is firmly stuck in the mud captivity, several units are attracted at once. And even such measures do not always help.
In India, in one of the regiments stationed in the state of Punjab, at a solemn gathering of a military unit, they decided to practice towing a T-90S tank. To do this, ropes were fixed on the front hooks located on the upper frontal part, which were taken up by several dozen people in uniform and civilians.
Judging by the published video, they almost immediately managed to get the "nineties" to move, as a result, he drove an impressive distance. It is worth recalling that the mass of the tank exceeds 46,000 kg.
Earlier, photos and videos appeared on the Network, in which representatives of law enforcement agencies at various competitions or holidays pulled wheeled armored personnel carriers, heavy trucks in this way, but tanks have not yet been shown.
Interestingly, Bhishma is often attracted to show the military power of the Indian ground forces. So, last year, the T-90S effectively performed during the demonstration program of the Indian 11th International Exhibition of Land and Naval Weapons Defexpo 2020.
The licensed combat vehicle successfully overcame various obstacles, as well as made multi-meter jumps, surpassing the mobility and maneuverability of the Arjun Mk1A.
