The prime minister uploaded on his Facebook page a video showing Oplot maneuvering.

The Ukrainian Oplot main battle tank is a combat vehicle of the 21st century. It can cleverly hide its position by digging itself into the ground or creating an effective smoke screen.

The tank can overcome two-meter-deep fords. With additional load, it is able to dive five meters deep.
