Pictures of the Russian T-72B3 tank, which received three hits from Western-made anti-tank missiles, appeared on the Network. Judging by the publication, this tank participated in the battles in the Donbass, most likely somewhere in the Izyum direction.
The description of the photo published in the Telegram channel "Older than Edda" says that the Russian T-72B3 participated in a night battle and received three hits from NLAW or Javelin ATGMs, but under its own power reached the base, where it got up for repairs. The crew suffered no losses, nothing is reported about injuries.
This fact caused a heated discussion in various Telegram channels, various opinions are expressed, ranging from the strength of the armor of our tanks, good dynamic protection and skillful actions of the crew in battle, to the inept actions of the Ukrainian military, who are not really trained to use foreign complexes. Of course, no one excludes the element of elementary luck.

It should be noted that Western countries have literally stuffed the APU with anti-tank complexes, including British NLAW and American Javelin, and they are not going to stop there. As the head of the US State Department Anthony Blinken recently stated, the West intends to increase the number of ATGMs to 10 pieces per Russian tank.
Naturally, you need to be able to use these complexes, you can't do with one instruction. Therefore, the United States and Great Britain are looking for ways to train the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces to use Western anti-tank systems. According to reports, the Americans are planning to create training centers on the territory of neighboring Ukraine countries, and the British seem to have sent their instructors to Kiev. Such information is available, but there are no official statements.
