Before the drone-era: A lone Russian T-72B3 from the 124th Separate Tank Battalion, 76th Guards Airborne Assault Division holds off two mechanized companies (BMP-1, YPR-765) and a tank platoon of T-72Bs in the Kherson region, 2022.

The enemy was advancing in two parallel columns, but encountered an ambush from the Russian T-72B3 and was delayed. The fire of the paratroopers' crew, supported by artillery, hit at least 3 YPR-765 and 2 BMP-1, and one of the enemy's T-72Ms was hit in the front. Interestingly, in the panic and confusion, one of the YPR-765 from the left column began to fire on the right column of Ukrainian BMPs, mistaking them for the attacking enemy. As a result, some of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' armored vehicles were left to evacuate the wounded and dead, while the rest of the equipment regrouped on the right flank and began to attack the T-72B3's position, simultaneously trying to flank it, forcing the tankers to retreat."
