Russian propaganda TV channel Zvezda, operated by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, is now airing a preview to a TV show set to demonstrate capabilities of a new Russian tank T-90M "Proryv 3".

During live-fire test, the target chosen for the T-90M was the Ukrainian-made T-64 BM Bulat tank, which is in service with the Ukrainian army.

It has not been specified why it was the Ukrainian tank that had been chosen for the show.
