A Ukrainian officer with the call sign Kochevnik posted a video of himself apparently calling the support line for Russian tank manufacturer Uralvagonzavod in order to help fix one of their tanks that had been captured by Ukrainian forces, and whose build quality he complained about at length.<\/p>\n

While it is not clear if the phone conversation is legitimate, or a propaganda stunt, Kochevnik told the support person that he was experiencing problems with his T-72B3 tank, a model used widely by the Russian military<\/a>. He ran through a series of complaints, including that the tank was spewing oil and had faulty compressors, and a bad electric turret rotation mechanism, meaning that the crew had to turn it with a hand crank.<\/p>\n

The model is one of Russia’s more modern tanks<\/a>, with which Ukrainian forces would not have been intimately acquainted before the invasion, reports Forbes. Without any local mechanics able to help, Kochevnik turned to the factory helpline and actually got help.<\/a><\/p>\n
